Özet
 For 13 years, 22 series and 175 shows, Richard Porter was script editor of Top Gear, from the first faltering pilot episode in 2002 until the very last show presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May in 2015.

Along the way they destroyed cars, sparked diplomatic incidents, set fire to caravans, almost killed one of the presenters, and somehow transformed Top Gear from a shabby BBC Two motoring show into an Emmy-winning, record-breaking, planet-straddling behemoth.

And on That Bombshell tells stories from behind the scenes of one of the world's most successful television programmes, taking in driving monkeys, broken bones, flying cars, angry rednecks and Jeremy Clarkson's secret nickname. A unique insight into how the show was made, it reveals behind-the-scenes disasters more comical than anything seen on screen...

*****
And now, a quote from James May: 'Richard Porter has asked me to "write a quote" for his new book about the ancient history of Top Gear. 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". Porter, like Athens, has lost his marbles.'

I can't imagine that it's [Top Gear] triumphant 13 year run will have a finer chronicler.
AND ON THAT BOMBSHELL is a funny and revealing look behind the scenes at the 13 years of the Clarkson-Hammond-May Top Gear era.
... a funny and, at times, thought-provoking look into the world of one of the biggest motoring programmes of all-time.
a fascinating and amusing insight into a true TV phenomenon

Richard has a familiar way with words and listening to them read out loud - you realise how key his voice was to the Top Gear and how it resonated in every episode.

Well worth an Audible credit!

Great story - on that side of things

I genuinely enjoyed this book and although it isn't read by Richard himself Ben Elliott does very well to tell the story and engage the listener.

If you like Top Gear this is well worth your time in my opinion.

Loved it.

fantastic insight into top gear, disappointed that there was no new information regarding the Clarkson incident. He seems to be afraid to give too much away. other than that, a great book.

great insight into the workings of top gear
