Off-Road with Clarkson Hammond & May

For over 12 years Phillipa Sage worked alongside Clarkson Hammond and May as their PA gofer and fixer where she saw the boys at their best and hilariously at their worst. A closet petrol head Phillipa started working in the motor industry on live events over 20 years ago and first worked with Jeremy Clarkson and Andy Wilman (formerly Top Gear and now the Grand Tour’s Executive Producer) in 1997. She proved to be a loyal trusted friend and colleague to all the presenters—from back in the beginning with Tiff Needell and Quentin Wilson—to the now infamous trio of Clarkson Hammond and May and became a key member of what became known as ‘The Bubble’ the exclusive dysfunctional working family that toured the world. With an enormous budget they travelled like rock stars—with super cars yachts private jets helicopters and five-star wining and dining—taking their unique brand of motoring madness to 18 countries 31 cities and to over 2 million fans in arenas and at festivals from New Zealand to Norway. Supported by a large crew and their personal entourage Clarkson Hammond and May when not performing in their extraordinary high octane live action motoring theatre indulged in extravagant holidays. They and their ‘Bubble’ family relaxed in luxury resorts or private houses entertaining themselves with pool parties drinking heli-sightseeing drinking private motorboat cruises drinking jet skiing sailing drinking and eating and drinking.
