Home & Hosed Podcast with Andy Wilman - Exclusive Interview 2019 - Grand Tour / Top Gear Exec Producer
Oct 1, 2019
Today we are lucky enough to be joined by one of the most successful tv producers of the last thirty years in Andy Wilman.
In 2002 alongside his school friend Jeremy Clarkson they decided to relaunch 'Top Gear', and together they turned it into the biggest show on tv anywhere in the world, with a global audience of over 350 million.
However it wasn't always plain sailing for Andy; after school he found himself working at McDonald's before he got fired within 3 days, then he had a brief but ultimately failed punk rock career and another failure was around the corner when he tried to join the secret service.
However all these experiences were starting to shape the mind of a young Mr Wilman (as he's known to his fans) and contributed to him eventually creating the most successful British export of all time.
We discuss everything from Andy's experiences at school with Jeremy Clarkson, to McDonald's, Punk Rock, University, Secret Service, Journalism, his lucky break, Top Gear Magazine, the start of his TV career and his crowning moment in re-launching top gear.
We also discuss everything from Richard Hammonds disastrous near death experience and the repercussions, the creation of the 'top gear specials', the controversies in Burma and Argentina, the fall out with the BBC, the new top gear, that 'incident' with Clarkson, leaving the BBC, the creation of the grand tour, the future of the grand tour and Andy's biggest regrets.
