good job, yeah.
5:29
Because I didn't particularly want to be a presenter.
5:32
I was modeling in London at the time, and a girlfriend rang me up and said, oh, they're trying to find a presenter for Big Breakfast.
5:37
I know you're a fan of Johnny Vaughan.
5:39
Yeah.
5:40
Because I did love you on that show.
5:42
I thought you were... just mesmerizing.

I
7:58
I mean, that should be every show.
8:00
Yeah, I think the nerves are there to prove that you're about to do something challenging.
8:04
If you haven't got the nerves, then probably don't do it.
8:07
Or hide under
9:56
You can't complain to the driver.
9:58
Are you saying Vin or John Shaw won't be...
10:01
Jackie Sheppard.
10:02
Screening the abuse that I might be getting? No.
9:59
Why is that? Is it because they know the track so well, or is it the crowd? Is it the atmosphere? Is it the occasion?
10:04
Well, quite simply, it's all of the above.
10:06
Johnny, they know this track incredibly well.
10:08
That's where they do a lot of testing.
10:10
It's where they started.
10:11
Every British driver would have first raced at Silverstone or tested at Silverstone in a Formula One car.
10:16
So they know the track incredibly well.
12:56
How's it going to play out for British drivers? What's going to happen at Silverstone this weekend?

Mm
7:56
... jotting down, uh, little bits and pieces.
7:58
Just watching it, watching it, watching it, and I ended up dreaming about F1.
8:02
Uh, it's just, uh, that's all I did for about three months before I was, uh, on camera in Australia with a mic in my hand getting ready to, uh, present the Australian Grand Prix 2016, and it, it was quite nerve-wracking.
8:14
Uh, that first show went okay, and I was thinking, "I don't know if I can do this.
8:18
This is harder than I expected." The next show was live in Bahrain.
8:22
That's kind of what I do.
