Yes i was so emotional when Bia started playing! Really it was perfect for the occasion🙌been watching clarkson, hammond and may since i was a kid! Back in the day i always wanted MK to be a guest on Top Gear as they both petrolheads, i'm sure it would have been amazing. Clarkson seems to be a fan of MK as he sometimes use DS or MK music on his insta posts!
Hammond is also fond of DS. He appeared on Ken Bruce’s show on Greatest Hits Radio a little while ago and chose a song from Brothers in Arms. He talked about how immensely talented he felt Mark and the guys in the band are. Obviously a man of impeccable taste!
I recall an interview where Mark mentioned one of his children suggesting it’d be great if he appeared on Top Gear, but that it’s not something he’d want to do. Maybe it would have brought him more exposure than he would have been comfortable with, which is perhaps understandable.
I too have been watching Clarkson, Hammond and May since Top Gear was relaunched back in 2002. Never missed an episode. They’ve made so many great TV memories over the last twenty years and helped get me through some awkward times when I wasn’t feeling great. The three of them do have a certain chemistry that could not possibly be manufactured. I’m yet to see the final episode myself. I’m planning on watching it this Sunday evening, as per tradition. It’s going to be an emotional one. Good to hear they used BIA in there.
