The chapter on getting Schumacher to dress as The Stig prompted me to go and find it on YouTube. He describes MS behind the scenes as being expressionless while being briefed on what they'd like him to do and they wondered if he was ok with it all...but then came to the conclusion he was really just very focused and taking it all in, analysing exactly what was expected and the best way to do it.
In reality he probably thought he was "above all this childish crap and let's get it done and I can go".
The last chapter, giving his impressions of what went on when Clarkson got sacked and the show ended is odd, in a way - the book details what a great time everyone had, although they worked hard, and what good blokes the 3 presenters are...but the last chapter he sounds relieved it was all over and peeved at Clarkson for his half arsed apology to the staff after the event without going into why it was a relief the show was finishing. I guess when you might be after a job in the future you're not going to be too critical.
So a mildly diverting read - probably more so if you're a die hard fan, which I wasn't really - and genuinely funny in places. No real dirt dished, a few stories he has probably told at parties many times over, and (and this turned me off the book a bit) the delighting in the stupid, destructive and thoughtless. The only things that he isn't pleased about are the odd episodes where the ideas just didn't work as well as they hoped.… (altro)
