Top Gear in a spin at Westfield London

Aug. 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Unitbase.co.uk undertook a pretty big challenge last week, by getting the biggest car show on TV together with London's biggest indoor shopping Centre. When Top Gear called Unitbase.co.uk, instead of being worried about what Clarkson, May and Hammond would get up to, London’s leading location agency, revelled in the challenge. The BBC show needed a huge underground car park and Unitbase.co.uk needed not to look any further than there exclusive location; Westfield London.

Top Gear spent a full day at Westfield London filming stunt driving on the bottom floor of their huge underground parking facility! However instead of letting the three presenters behind the wheels of the old style Mini Coopers that were being featured, a group of stunt drivers took over the driving and performed power slides and hand brake skids! It was quite a spectacle and will look fantastic on screen when the popular car show returns to BBC2 later this year.

Westfield London have employed Untibase.co.uk for over a year as their exclusive filming and photographic agents and in that time there has been a multitude of fantastic productions have taken place at the centre! This production has to take the prize for most elaborate and was only made easier becasue of the great team people at Westfield London, as well as BBC’s Top Gear and Unitbase.co.uk. It all went off without a hitch!!
