Back in the summer Davina McCall was booked as a guest and pulled out on the very day they record (it's a wednesday) she appeared at a later date in the end, but the show was all set up and ready to record and they had no guest - the only celeb they had on the location was Damon Hill - why was he there? because he is there every week, Jeremy played it quite well - "first time we have ever had a F1 driver, "you took that corner differently than the stig" - "everyone thinks you are the stig etc" and of course they had to come up with a new board for F1 drivers.
Colin McRae is used on the days that damon hill is not free.
* Do you have any evidence to back this claim up, James? So far, this is just hearsay Stephenb (Talk) 20:55, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
Stephen my friend did four weeks work experience on the show in the summer. He was there - he met both damon and colin. Damon was the Stig on 8th, 15th and 22nd June (when he was the guest as well) and Colin was the Stig on 29th - they record on a wednesday in dunsfold. And what is the evidence that you have that ben collins is the stig? jameshb
