London — Why Amazon? That’s the question fans of hit BBC motoring-show “Top Gear” have been asking, after its former presenting team — Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May — and Andy Wilman, the show’s former executive producer, said on Thursday they would produce their new motoring show for Amazon’s streaming service, Amazon Prime. The answer is simple: “Freedom.”
“They’ll give us the freedom to make the programs we want — and you know how we love that freedom — there’s a budget to produce programs of the quality we want, and this is the future. So it’s exhilarating to be part of that future,” Wilman told RadioTimes Friday.
Asked about the new show’s format, Wilman said they had a free rein, with no interference from Amazon, and would be starting “from scratch.” “I can’t tell you how good it feels to get the chance to produce something from scratch.
