He actually talked about anal examinations, his new mobile phone, his new boots, quite a bit about Hammond and May and what the floor crew were doing and where people would be needed for particular shoots. He talked also about the lead up to most of the films; what they did, etc etc

I heard that a girl threw a g string at Clarkson. Is that true? And is it correct that he was very pleased about it?
Can you please give his bum a score out of 10?

Oh, err, cars, yes. Umm. What colour was the Veyron?

I was interested in how do they manage to tell their lines, is there a script which they are following, an autoQ or they just improvize? It looks so smooth?!

its been discussed by JC in his articles before, the filmed bits they do with cars are mostly unscripted, but the studio bits are completely scripted, however as their essentially just acting out their own thoughts its not like it would be hard to "act" images/smilies/lol.gif

i think sometimes they do put it in the script to argue a bit more than normal, i remember a old episode where JC said to hammond something like "it was in the script that i was going to disagree with you but i just can't" if that helps give you the feel of things, it might be rehursed but its still honest

He has this gambling addiction. What he does it when he watches programs he tries to guess things and makes bets with his family. So when the Veyron is announced he can say. "I bet you 15 squid the Veyron is blue". Then he'll be 15 squid richer so he can throw it away on Warhammer

I know that there is a script for the stuio shootings, but it is interesting how they follow the lines. For acting they're very very good I'm sure, but still I suppose that there are several cuts on every scene ..

The guy's scripts are usually on the table during The News, but they do improvise a lot & throughout filming, bet with each other about how many takes they'll have to do. There is no autoQ.

The Veyron also has 10 radiators!! (I do know about cars really... well... a bit images/smilies/burnrubber.gif images/smilies/blush.gif)

There's a waiting list! Jesus! It's standing room only and there's still a list. Remember Season one? The hanger was totally empty and the audience wasn't even listening to what the presenters were saying. They just came to look at the cars. I guess it really has taken off.

If they recorded the show in the Sahara desert, would there still be a waiting list?

Yes, someone did throw a black satin G-string at Jeremy, just before Hugh Grant came on stage (not literally!) and it wasn't me! Had i thrown a pair of mine onto the stage I fear it would have enveloped the hanger in eternal darkness!images/smilies/lol.gif I did however see the alleged incident.
*cough* YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!images/smilies/yes.gif
And you laugh a lot, so yeah, the ribs can hurt a bit, but the pain is cancelled out by the fact your feet go numb after standing around for 6 hours on freezing cold concrete.
And the Veyron's colour?
images/smilies/ph34r.gif Not telling!
