A researcher will have gone ahead and set up the interviews and chance meetings. I watched Top Gear last night and although it was showing Clarkson and May travelling to the North Pole supposedly alone, again it was obvious that it was faked in some respects and at one point it showed that there was a support crew of another three cars.
So, how much can we trust.

I must admit,all that business with the telephone lines has put me off ringing in for any competitions.Not that I ever did it much but I won't now.It's the same with X Factor,I won't let the kids vote on it any more.That hasn't gone down too well with them but tough
