Re: Top Gear's Stig

Well if he\she signed a confidentiality agreement when they got the job tough luck live with it. I am no fan of the bbc as anyone on here will know but in this i support them. Part of the fun of top gear is the stig and stig is meant to be anonymous even though many of us are pretty sure there isn't just one of them take your pay as you have for years and wait till you get replced then release a book no one would have a problem with that but cashing in now and destroying a piece of the show not on really..

The current Stig is the show's second. The original, Perry McCarthy, was dropped after his identity was discovered.
