Top Gear's co-creator has opened up about what he termed a "witch hunt" while he was working on the massively popular BBC show. Andy Wilman, who served as series producer on the iconic motoring show, weighed in on an internal investigation into what one publication described as its "work culture and practices".

Andy also faced a "dressing down" from the BBC's Editorial Policy department, the Sun reports after fury erupted over the alleged use of a slur during filming in Thailand. Hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond , Top Gear's first iteration came to an end in 2015 (the show would later be rebooted), and the original presenting trio moved to Amazon Prime for a new motoring show, The Grand Tour. In extracts from his new book, Mr Wilman's Motoring Adventure, as reported by the Sun, Andy wrote:"As good as we were at walking the line, sometimes entitlement creeps in, you get giddy and you plain just f* up."
