It would be easy to write an article pointing out the obvious scripted moments on these shows. What it proved is that some degree of planning and scripting is necessary when putting together a show for TV and that the right amount of entertaining moments don’t just happen randomly.Ĭlarkson, Hammond, and May are excellent presenters and amateur actors-at best-but it’s clear that most of their banter is not scripted and this remains one of their strengths. Of course, there have been attempts by both the Top Gear and The Grand Tour hosts to film shows entirely unscripted, such as when they traveled in Croatia. It’s true that some stunts are carefully choreographed but the synergy between Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May also creates plenty of genuinely spontaneous and humorous moments.
