not literally BBC immunity (like whatever Jimmy Saville had) but a "free pass" to do things in public because they're filming for a big established broadcaster. fly a blimp onto passenger airspace? drive in Middle East hotzones for a special? cross the English channel with a makeshift pickup boat? all possible with the backing of the Beeb.
Eh? No. OK, "I have a bridge to sell you" is a well-known euphemism for someone is lying/being deceitful. So, username contains the word promise makes me sure they are lying about the bridge.
Exactly. The same thing when they're "racing" each other trough a country, but the camera crew is always ahead for the best shots in every corner or obstacle.
We can agree that Hammonds crash with the Rimac was not scripted, because there is almost to none footage of it.
Beeb? Another name for the bbc, where the original, british version (with clarkson, hammond and may, and later they got matt leblanc and freddie Flintoff to host too) aired. They were ultimately the ones who paid for the licences etc.

It’s staged

Why’s everything got to be made about trump? “Oh look there’s a pigeon, trump hates pigeons”
RoboJobot@reddit
Because he likes to make everything about himself, so we just join in. Also it’s what’s trending on all the news sites at the moment.
weetabix_su@reddit

So even if it's a parking ticket he won't get charged

I know everyone is saying it's all scripted and not real, but those smiles are 1000% genuine.
Lunaxlv@reddit (OP)
Made me smile 😊😁
Ok_Landscape_3958@reddit
Lol, that's always so totally not scripted and spontaneous...
Lunaxlv@reddit (OP)
This guy gets it
hatlad43@reddit
Because they had the permits for filming?
jazzymusicvibes@reddit
Boring people have parties too, I’m sure you were invited to some of them
Lunaxlv@reddit (OP)
What Party
Lunaxlv@reddit (OP)
I thought it was just random
Regular_Promise3605@reddit
I have a bridge to sell you.
H_K-R@reddit
Or a Ferrari that you can’t actually own with a rear spoiler that’s made out of spoiler material with DFS technology
Lunaxlv@reddit (OP)
What bridge

MonorailPurple@reddit
Not a single pat of the grand tour (or top gear for the most part for that matter) was ever 'random' - it is a very heavily scripted show.
Soft-Section528@reddit
It’s all heavily planned and scripted
OffRedFloyd@reddit
Wanna buy some magic beans mate?

That and a ton of insurance money to cover any damages to their surroundings.
Automatoboto@reddit
Hey its me, the guy ackwardly looking at his shoes flipping a pen nervously while nodding. Lets talk about Pac man.
Witty-Activity-6101@reddit
And it's all scripted as fuck
ProfPMJ-123@reddit
"Idk how they didn't get arrested"
Because it was all staged. All of it.
The skill of Top Gear and The Grand Tour was making highly scripted things appear off the cuff.
Neilkd21@reddit
Because it's all setup.
Lunaxlv@reddit (OP)
How??
Neilkd21@reddit
How what? How is it setup? They obviously have permission from the airport, the guy that gets knocked over is an actor. It's a TV show.
Lunaxlv@reddit (OP)
He might be a random guy aye
Dcajunpimp@reddit
A random guy they just happened to have a camera pointed at when Jeremy drove by knocking him over into a display.

PrestigiousHair725@reddit
At one point, iirc, top gear was the highest grossing show anywhere in the world.
As hilarious as it would be, none of this is random. The beeb paid a small ransom for every episode.
Lunaxlv@reddit (OP)
What's a been??

Beeb? Another name for the bbc, where the original, british version (with clarkson, hammond and may, and later they got matt leblanc and freddie Flintoff to host too) aired. They were ultimately the ones who paid for the licences etc.
Drumedor@reddit
He is not, the BBC would not broadcast them assaulting a random man.
Lunaxlv@reddit (OP)
Aye you win
Neilkd21@reddit
Do you believe everything you see? It's a scripted TV show, it's actors.
Shine_Obvious@reddit
because its all scripted...

They didn’t get arrested because they had permits for filming & none of it is real, presumably
