Here’s interesting: CBS’s 60 Minutes in the US has put together a 15-minute film profiling Top Gear. As well as interviewing Clarkson, May, Hammond and the show’s producer, it has plenty of clips from the show and even sends the presenter out on a test lap with the Stig. No mention of the great Stig controversy of the summer, but as a puff piece, it’s quite fun.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
