u003cpu003eu003cbu003e I was u003ciu003eTop Gearu003c/iu003e´s script editor for 13 years and all 22 series. I basically used to check spelling and think of stupid gags about The Stig. I also got to hang around with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. It didn´t feel like something you should get paid for. u003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbu003eFrom the disastrous pilot show of 2002 to the sudden and unexpected ending in 2015, working on u003ciu003eTop Gear u003c/iu003ewas quite a rollercoaster ride. We crossed continents, we made space ships, we bobbed across the world´s busiest shipping lane in a pick-up truck. We also got chased by an angry mob, repeatedly sparked fury in newspapers, and almost killed one of our presenters. u003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbu003eI realised that I had quite a few stories to tell from behind the scenes on the show. I remembered whose daft idea it was to get a dog. I recalled the willfully stupid way in which we decorated our horrible office. I had a sudden flashback to the time a Bolivian drug lord threatened to kill us. I decided I should write down some of these stories. So I have. I hope you like them. u003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbu003eAnd now, a quote from James May: ´Richard Porter has asked me to ´write a quote´ for his new book about the ancient history of u003ciu003eTop Gearu003c/iu003e. But this is a ridiculous request. How can one ´write a quote´? Surely, by definition, a quote must be extracted from a greater body of writing, for the purpose of illustrating or supporting a point in an unrelated work. I cannot ´write a quote´ any more than I could ´film an out-take´.u003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbu003eu003c/bu003eu003cbru003eu003cbu003e´Porter, like Athens, has lost his marbles.´u003c/bu003eu003c/pu003e
