Summary
For over 12 years, Phillipa Sage worked alongside Clarkson, Hammond and May as their PA, gofer and fixer, where she saw the boys at their best and, hilariously, at their worst. A closet petrol head, Phillipa started working in the motor industry on live events over 20 years ago and first worked with Jeremy Clarkson and Andy Wilman (formerly Top Gear and now the Grand Tour’s executive producer) in 1997. She proved to be a loyal, trusted friend and colleague to all the presenters - from back in the beginning with Tiff Needell and Quentin Wilson - to the now infamous trio of Clarkson, Hammond and May, and became a key member of what became known as ‘The Bubble’, the exclusive dysfunctional working family that toured the world.
With an enormous budget, they travelled like rock stars - with super cars, yachts, private jets, helicopters and five-star wining and dining - taking their unique brand of motoring madness to 18 countries, 31 cities and to over two million fans in arenas and at festivals from New Zealand to Norway.
Supported by a large crew and their personal entourage, Clarkson, Hammond and May, when not performing in their extraordinary, high octane, live action, motoring theatre, indulged in extravagant holidays. They and their ‘Bubble’ family relaxed in luxury resorts or private houses entertaining themselves with pool parties, drinking, heli-sightseeing, drinking, private motorboat cruises, drinking, jet skiing, sailing, drinking and eating, and drinking.

Great Incite
I enjoyed the behind the scenes story of how these guys worked and played. Hard working, but harassed by paperatzi wherever they went. Jeremy is a bit of a diva, but he knows what he likes, what he wants and how to get it. These 3 guys and the team entertained millions for over 20 years. I've listened to this book twice, and it is kept in my library and I will listen again. Thanks Pippa

Gave up in the first hour, unentertaining, reminiscent of a shipping report.
Julie Maisey does her best to make this an interesting listen despite having to actually list the content of someone’s handbag!
Gave up on it. Total tosh.

Poor
Basically she was. PA who wormed and screwed her way in to first class and sucking up to Clarkson
And after mentioning range rovers 6542 times I bet she got a free one.

Not what I expected
Very very little about Clarkson, Hammond and May and all about some anonymous staffer living it up at their expense

Should of been called "How Great I Am"
If, like me, you're a big fan of Top Gear, and interested in behind the scenes, I suggest you purchase Richard Porter's "And On That Bombshell". If, however, you fancy 8 hours of a woman finding different ways to tell you just how brilliant she is, in numerous repetitive ways, this is the book for you!

Benign mulch!
Interesting for about the first 10 pages and then repeat!
If you’re expecting all the dirty washing to be hung out… You’ll be sadly disappointed!
Just a bunch of overgrown schoolboys!
