About this listen

"The highlights of my extraordinary journey with Mr Clarkson included pizza with Harry and Wills; dancing with Mick Jagger on the private island of Mustique (Mick had to pull me up after, shamefully, I could not recover from the twist!); and having happy birthday sung to me by Brian Ferry and Richard E. Grant. I was asked out by Hugh Grant (and went!); partied at what I called Jimmy Carr’s celebtastic weekly house parties attended by Sir Elton John, James Corden and the like; and, at Jerry Hall and Rupert Murdoch’s engagement party, I received the ultimate compliment on my outfit from the Dame Joan Collins.

The adventures, laughter, drama and excitement were neverending. Party after party, celeb after celeb, private villas, palaces, MPs and royalty adorned our crazy life on this road less travelled.

From the low-budget, dark, smoke- and fume-filled halls of Earls Court Exhibition Centre and the NEC in Birmingham, where the highlights of our nights out were a good curry and gallons of beer followed by ridiculous games of girl-on-girl arm wrestling and the Celebrity Loo Roll Challenge—this entailed Clarkson, Hammond, May or The Stig having to return from the bathroom with loo roll tucked down their trousers, trailing a length of loo paper from cubicle to table without it breaking—Jeremy ascended to great heights, both in his professional career and his personal life. So too did our relationship, leading us both into a social circle that most can only dream of."

In The Wonderful World of Jeremy Clarkson, Phillipa Sage shares her continuing adventures—the ongoing highs, lows and constant mayhem—she shared for so many years with Clarkson and his fellow presenters, Hammond and May, some of which she had begun to detail in her first book, Off Road with Clarkson, Hammond and May.

A very difficult listen.

Unfortunately, not what I was expecting. A very repetitive story which feels like it could have been summarised in 20 minutes. It is a constant barrage of name dropping of celebrities and their properties which come so thick and fast it’s hard to keep up. 6:45 hours of the same narrative - there’s a party, the list of the celebrities and Jeremy gets drunk.

not what I was expecting.

Not very interesting, a lot of namedropping but no detail or substance. a disappointment.
if you were hoping to gain some behind the scenes knowledge as I was, this isn't it!

Great Stories

Wow, what a life style. Not the tell all, dirty laundry book I was expecting but a really great read. Hard to believe anyone could have this type of life. Well done Phillipa for both the book and your bravery.

Detailed content with excellent humour.

Well written with an excellent insight to celebrity lifestyles. If all true it throws a different angle on the BBC and their choice to sack him.

Shocking

This book is so bad. I'd had enough by the end of the 2nd chapter. She could name drop for England. I would have like to read about their affair, but I couldn't bear it any long.

You’re well out of it Jezza!

What a self obsessed person!
This is clearly a woman who was on a mission to snare a celeb, and Jeremy was the one she got.

This is not a story of any interest to anyone apart from the author.

I got to chapter 4 when she was on another night out with (((CLANG))) Zebedee, The Prince of Zamunda, Aunt Bessie & Sgt Chisholm I turned off. Actually, the four mentioned are the only people she didn’t go out with on a bender!

Ridiculous, self absorbed & desperate to cling on to any kind of “fame”

Too easily impressed

No real story. Too much about the so called great and the good. Very disappointing
