This was one of the most viewed TV shows in the world when this was filmed, yet the production office looks like something you'd find at a council rubbish compound!
@@Meton12765 wrong. The BBC offered to spruce their office up but Andy Wilman told them in no uncertain terms to piss off. In his own words he wanted it to feel like a student bedsit
Very late on this but I read in Richard Porter's book that the BBC offered to tidy it all up and make it nice but Andy Wilman told them to fuck off. I think the words were 'I want it to feel like a student bedsit.'
Well duct tape is extremely overlooked and underapriciated item. I was personally surprised to find how many things are able to function thanks to it. Like for example International space station, local hospital etc.
Couldn't even get the Presnters a Hot meal on a long cold day. March 2015 that happened, when was this released? They say...'can't think of what else to talk to you about'...WOW.
£500k is extremely cheap. The guy who plays the doctor gets 300k per episode all to himself and doctor who doesn't even make the BBC as much money as top gear.
It is funny, I've been there, did a moped riding test there, spent the day in fact! I remember it raining down hard, I was stuck in a porta potty waiting the rain out!
+Stephen Dengler The whole point of Top Gear is it was made by a bunch of blokes who don't need all the mod cons. They make what they want to make in an environment that suits them. I can tell you these offices are far nicer then the ones they had a few years ago
+Fraser Hughes but then this "staying true to your roots" goes out the window when one of them goes totally crazy when faced with the prospect of a cold dinner...

@@AJ_Adventures99 Sorry for the confusion. I meant what episode they were going to film when they were doing the back stage tour. Someone on Reddit said it was Series 16, Ep. 5 based on the license plate of the BMW.
@Kaushalito i can't remember the exact episode but it was probably s16, one of the tv's is showing something from a news segment after the albania episode
8:40 i now understand the nervous ear touch and laugh of Jeremy when hes saying something he shouldn't haha

Sometimes less is more. Lol
That's BBC production quality for ya. I suspect these are among the various aspects they spent a pretty dime on when moving to Amazon. :D

I think if pirating was included, top gear would be the most watched TV show ever
Can't believe the most popular BBC show's office almost looks like a crack den lmao

cocaine whisky and weed more like
Love how the signs on the doors were held in place with duct tape... BBC quality at its best
The BBC has better things to spend its money on. Like protecting pedophiles from justice and premoting Liberal leftist bias.

@@RobsonRoverRepair Christ
That's called efficiency sir
I’m just impressed someone didn’t call it “duck tape” 🤣
I just love how distinctly British everything featured here looks.
7:10 , isn't it the guy that Jeremy punched
they were all friends for years
Hammond on the phone to his Hollywood dentist!!😁
"That was the House wive's favorite" the crew make the show just as much , I think that's why the new top Gear can never compare.
god I can smell the office
I always assumed it was filmed in the middle of a bbc production studio in London for some reason. It never crossed my mind it was a massive hangar
7:10 the infamous one him self..
MIND BLOWN!
Pussy couldn't take a punch like a man
Couldn't even get the Presnters a Hot meal on a long cold day. March 2015 that happened, when was this released? They say...'can't think of what else to talk to you about'...WOW.
I noticed that right away lol. I was like that’s awkward
@@316CactusJack How do you know?
4:54 "we've got chris evans... big friend of the show"! :L hahah and 7:12.... the famous osh (or whatever it is)
OMG, Orang Utans can operate Computers. Amazing.
I love how the office is a tip.
7:10 the poor guy who got punched in the face
+Tuan Do Clarkson has actually punched all of them already. It's just the last guy was an Irishman, so Jezza finally went too far!
@@Nemoticon if he was true Irish he would have hit back and won the fight
@@Nemoticon he was polish I think
@@whyarewehere3893 an outrageously stupid comment... 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Nemoticon right so using a stereotype as a joke is stupid? Right okay...
3:49 What's the pixelated object on top of the trophy cabinet?
Hammond trophy for sexiest presenter, from Ann summers. It’s basically a dildo.
Hammond’s heartthrob of the year award
Ngl I was hoping for sting to have pictures of him across the earth on beaches and at the summits of mountains wearing his jumpsuit and helmet
5:04 ashens spotted
XD
Stuart should partner with Ed China and convert his brown sofa into a car
That is so sad for a production office. Reminds me of mine offices in Nevada.
The presenters like the seats warmed up!. Lol🤣
How the hell did they spend an avg. of 500k £ each episode and still worked from this rubbish favela?
£500k is extremely cheap. The guy who plays the doctor gets 300k per episode all to himself and doctor who doesn't even make the BBC as much money as top gear.
Look into how much the people alone cost. Never mind the cars, the tech, the retakes, any stunts, h+s, etc etc.
They spent about £5M an episode if my memory serves me rightly
bbc does also take a cut
@@SgtSayWhat bad news, you need to see a doctor about your memory
Cameron Diaz touching The Stigs helmet there.
3:02 Hamster has reveal!
It is funny, I've been there, did a moped riding test there, spent the day in fact! I remember it raining down hard, I was stuck in a porta potty waiting the rain out!
Id like to go there and everytime they’re done filming an episode with a car walk by and be like”excuse me do you guys still need that”
That awkward moment when they call out Chris Evans, who is now doing a miserable copy of taking over their jobs...
Quit after 25 Minutes. It is truly awful, not bad, but it's trying to live off a Legacy without adding any.
Didn't know Hugh Grant worked at Top Gear 1:48
He's Hugh Grants speech therapist
Spatiouuuuussss! Omg how many acres is your production office
Best regards from India.
Warmin' up the seats, eh, bloody 'ell.
+Joe Sheppard (BladeThunderbolt) thwat had me in stiches
***** Likewise. I doubt it though.
poor hilary was responsible for bringing up clarkson's search history
That ass whooping from stig
I never got to see Top Gear being filmed, I guess this is as close as I'll ever get.
I don't know what is worse historically 2008 or the Oisin episode. Society really experienced some G's heading down hill in both cases..
>We've got Chris Evans, big friend of the show
Not anymore
With top gear I was expecting a more top of the line studio and the best stuff money buys .

i'm pretty sure the fuel bills alone eat up most of the budget XD
Omg that’s the man that Jeremy punched 1:10
Does anyone know what episode this is? I tried looking it up but couldn't tell.
It was just a TH-cam video they put up. Not an episode

Watched for the Simon pegg thumbnail
where do these clips come from
james may's old iphone
Is this on one of the DVDs?
Can someone please tell me what episode is he talking about at 2:22
Its the four door cabrio cheap car challenge
Kevin Davies a bit late but it was the bmw convertibles
Oisin Tymon the first person in the office... And the hero for when he next returns.
+SkTheJanner He seemed like an irritating little shit
British: Plucky simple discreet making do with what they already have
American: heyy I gotta bigger one (in American accent)
I bet the bbc still claim those trophies as theirs despite most of the production crew leaving with the cast
There's a drivetribe video on TH-cam somewhere with Andy Willman. He nicked them all
How is this better than the grand tour
'Wot films it is that we are playin'
Of course Hammond has to be the one who’s closest to the makeup room 😂
Nice to see the where the licensing fee goes
Yeah, the staff budget.
who is the guy at ~6:05 with his arm in a sling? the fact that he is staring at the camera with his mouth open must mean its an inside joke.
Could be Michael Sheen? Sure do look like him.
"Health Food"
Chris Evans hahahaha him! 🤣
4 the worlds favorite car show h would think it would be nicer than that
What?
Why don't they just auction off all the props. Could make a killing
7:10 this man who basically ruined top gear
Ok, that’s not fair. He didn’t deserve to get punched.
Where is the guy that clarkson punched?
Read the comments before posting. It's been mentioned, with timestamp, at least three times.
@@simonkevnorris right thnx mait. Got a look at him finally. Looks like a prick....
Brian Klein is a thiccer James
"Chris Evans, old friend of the show"
Oof 🙄
Brian "Punchingbag" Klein
Is the studio director Brian the worst dressed man in the world?
The fact that this show "wins awards" tells you a lot about the human species...
First.
In front of the cool wall. Isn't that the Irish pillock who started the downfall of Top Gear ?
what a load of old crap
You watch a video several years after the upload to complain its old?
