Oh, yeah. My experience of that now is that if you establish really big stunts that have big vision and are ambitious, they tend to come with them a level of rigor that means they are executed well. The difficult area is the kind of just being at a test track with a smaller crew and someone says, give that a go. That's when it goes wrong. Because no one's really thought about it.

They're saying, well, we've done the risk assessment, but just give that a go while you're here. I think that goes wrong. And also, my experience, and this is where everyone that's shot with me will be reminded of this now and again. Close of play. End of the day. That's when it goes wrong. If you're at a test track, the light's coming down. There's 10 minutes to go.

And the director says, just do that. I go, no. Because everyone's tired. Someone's going to have ignored the lockdown on the circuit. There'll be someone coming driving the other way with the coffee cups over their heads. Or it's the end of the day. If it's 6 o'clock, 5.30, I'm gone. I'm not because I'm workshopped. I'll stay around and pick stuff up. But the end of the day when you start rushing,

And I think there was an element of that day at Dunsfold, that was a shoot that was rushed for me. I know that that was a, we need to use this day shoot. That's another one that's another red flag for me. We've got a day at a track, we need to fill it. Well, you've reverse engineered that. Your priorities are already to fill something up.

And I look back, some of the stuff that we did on Top Gear, I look back, that was dangerous. Visually dangerous and definitely was in practical terms. I'm very proud of it because we executed it well. Like Andrew, Fred Vintoff went off a dam in a metro and did a car bungee. It was an extraordinary piece of footage. You can see it. It was just an amazing film. But it was rigorous.
