What is it really like hosting an international series of Top Gear Australia, working with the BBC Crew, how did this happen and what does it mean for Mighty Car Mods?

I assumed it was spam when I got an email from BBC Studios asking me about hosting a new version of Top Gear Australia. So in this video, I sit down with esteemed motoring journalist Iain Kelly to spill the beans on what happened next...

Top Gear Australia launches on Paramount+ on May 17th 2024, and it due to broadcast in countries all over the world.

Big thanks to Iain Kelly for joining me in this video for a chat

    While we may not know Moog personally, it still feels like one of your mates has been given an awesome opportunity and it makes me proud that “one of my mates” has made it.
  • @Fosterforged
    When Moog starts getting teary eyed talking about Martin, that’s when you know he loves him like a brother. Always a special moment to see
  • I never thought I'd watch Top Gear again after the Clarkson, Hammond, May era. I'm now excited for the new series. Thanks, Moog!
  • Throughout the whole episode, Moog constantly directs the attention, and the praise to everyone else - to the Top Gear crew, to Marty, To Ian, etc. a very humble guy. Appreciate you Moog 👊
  • @trihardthlete
    My favourite part is when he shares that Marty pushed him to do it. A sign of true friendship to truly inspire your mates to get out of their comfort zone
  • You’ve come a long way from that driveway. Also, can we all agree what an amazing mate Marty is? To be so supportive of you for something like this - that’s a true friend. What a legend.
  • @Jonathan_Doe_
    Sounds like a blast, and leaving Marty unattended actually produced some classic unhinged MCM moments.
  • @ToastTacular
    I'm SO happy you said yes to the opportunity. It's nice that you've surrounded yourself with people that push you forward.
  • Congrats on the gig, Moog. Great early feedback for Aussie TG is no surprise to the 38 of us.
  • From mum's driveway to Top Gear! It is wonderful to have witnessed your journey. I am sure that we all feel some connection with Moog and Marty and are proud of your achievements. Well done boys.
  • @AndrewJayN
    With the Cancellation of Top Gear UK, I think Top Gear Australia is going to be the new Global Top Gear especially with the Streaming on Para+ and hearing Moog talk with the old uk crew working on it, sounds like its gona be a banger!
  • @chainq68k
    I'm very happy for Moog and for his success, but Marty is the GOAT. Supporting your mate to succeed, and be humble enough to stay in the background is always the most important, and the man knows. You try to elevate people around you, always. Respect off the scale.
  • @thrsxtyflp
    Can't get enough of how Moog talks about Marty when he's not there! So wholesome.
  • @Ixxlostinabox
    Marty is such a GC, he knew instantly that Moog needed to take the opportunity. And Moog trusting Marty and taking the leap is awesome. Props to both of them for getting to this point.
  • @BrunerTuner
    This is fantastic, great interview. Moog, the fact that your favorite part of this experience was meeting the crew and how much that impacted you is a clear indicator of your heart for people. The MCM community loves cars of course, but yourself and Marty make the connection to the fans real. Great work, can't wait to watch TG!
  • @catastrophic82
    Watching Blair stripped back from the Moog-MCM product is always such a fascinating and educating conversation, I really wish we could get more of your time :)
  • @bigrdz
    I really like when you guys do this more "serious" style of interview. Its of a quality missing from the mainstream now days
  • @PAULPICKLES
    When you announced you were going to work on Top Gear, I was bouncing off the walls! I'm just a guy from the UK who's loved your YouTube channel for many years. This venture just feels right and very well deserved, Moog. Looking forward to hopefully seeing it soon in little blighty.
  • @64Pete
    Fantastic stuff Moog, I'm so glad you took the opportunity, once in a lifetime stuff brother. And so excellent of marty to back you to the hilt. Bloody ripper, and I'm excited to pirate top gear australia when it's available, sorry, not sorry.
  • @Bigngreen
    Funny, years and years ago when Top Gear Australia first aired I thought, "they should get MCM to host, they actually love cars" turns out I was half right about 13 years later. Well done Blair.
