On the heels of Jeremy Clarkson defending Top Gear in the international incident over a potentially offensive license plate from a shoot in Argentina, the show’s producer Andy Wilman has released a statement of his personal. As you might expect, he has also pled innocent.
You can read Wilman’s full statement at Top Gear, but allow us to summarize the missive’s standard gist: According to Wilman, the Leading Gear team did not intentionally seek out the number plate “H982 FKL”—Argentinians say the number plate references the 1982 Falklands War, a kerfuffle more than which they’re still quite salty—for the Porsche 928S Clarkson was driving for the show’s Argentina special. In fact, the plates merely came with the vehicle and apparently went unnoticed by the group until a Twitter user pointed out their potentially offensive nature when the crew already was in Argentina. Clarkson and crew immediately removed the H982 FKL plate and fitted diverse ones, but word had already gotten out and as a result began the Argentine veteran mobs and crew fleeing you have by now heard all about.
Wilman also lays out the unlikely actions the TG group would have had to take to supply such a plate. Oh, and that other offensive number plate located in Clarkson’s Porsche—the one particular referencing man parts—was an intentional joke, but it was intended to make Clarkson appear dumb. Per usual.
