But again, you look in the mirror and think I'm alive. I've got three beautiful children. I'm not in Fred's position. Andrew and Fred are the same person. Sorry, that's his nickname. And I just sort of got my head down. But I had seen this coming. There was a big inquiry, a lot of soul searching. The BBC's good at that.

But what was never spoken about was that three months before the accident, I'd gone to the BBC and said, unless you change something, someone's going to die on this show. So I went to them. I went to the BBC and I told them of my concerns from what I'd seen. As the most experienced driver on the show by a mile, I said, if we carry on, at the very least, we're going to have a serious injury.

At the very worst, we're going to have fatality.

Yeah. There was a bit of an arms race. between us and maybe the other big car show the Grand Tour at the time to go ever more stupid and we did some we did do some big stunts and a lot of the time and the Grand Tour is the original cast of Top Gear Jeremy Coffs and Richard May in their Amazon show which sadly they've just ended great show um And also, I'm not of the health and safety world.

I'm not risk averse. I love a bit of risk. And I also absolutely believe that if you enter into a show like Top Gear, you know what you're taking on. I believe that there is no such thing as great risk-free television like that. I just turn up and I assess what I see and I do what I'm comfortable with. And I want to make great television. That's it. And if sometimes it got a bit sketchy, so be it.

We've all done that. That's the way the world lives. And I think what happened with Top Gear was... I saw repeatedly too many times my two co-hosts who didn't have the experience I had in cars. This is the critical thing. I'm qualified to make those decisions because I've done it a long time. They weren't. One of them is an active comedian. The other guy is a pro cricket player.

Brilliant entertainers. They were great hosts. But their roles were to make people laugh. And my role was to tell people what cars were like. And all too often, in the last year, I saw situations where... It got too dangerous. And it culminated actually in us being in Thailand. Myself and Paddy were in Thailand.
