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.

And we did a go-kart race down a hill in just compacted mud on wooden go-karts with no engines. And I just looked at them and I said, this is just this. So it's not a question of whether we get injured. It's how injured we get. So just have an ambulance at the bottom because something's going to go wrong. Sure enough, I broke something in my hand, broke a finger or what have you.

And I just thought, which sounds ridiculous from your background, because you're all super tough guys, but it hurt.

And also, it was a shit piece of television. So I always said, I don't mind breaking my hand if we get a BAFTA for it or an award. But this was just the shit skit. And I ended up damaged. And it went on too much. So anyhow, I went to the BBC and I said, I want to have a meeting with the head of health and safety because this is not good.

And what's really killed me is that no one's ever really acknowledged the fact that I called it beforehand. And it's very difficult to live with that initially for me when I knew I thought I'd done the right thing. I'm not very good at that. I normally just go with the flow. But I saw this coming. I thought I did the right thing. I went to the BBC.

And I found out really that no one had taken me very seriously. I did a bit of digging afterwards. The conversation I had with those people was sort of acknowledged. Then they tried to sort of shut me down a bit. And then they didn't look after me at all. They just sort of left me to rot. And I, even now, I'm totally perplexed by the whole thing. To actually say to an organization,

This is going to go wrong. And then be there the day that it goes wrong is a position I never expected to be in and I never want to be in again. It's strange and pretty heartbreaking in many ways. I love that show.

They just sort of left me to sweat, really. I just sat where I live and drank whiskey. I didn't have much contact with them at all. Everything went quiet. They had two inquiries into the accident commissioned, neither of which I had access to. I pushed very hard to have access to the second one and saw some of it. And I had this, this is one of the most bizarre interactions I've had.
