Alex Riley is a presenter, writer, comedian and more with a fantastic career working in car and non-car television. In this conversation hosted by john Marcar, Alex shares his incredible story of how he went from a tedious office job to pursue his dream - starting as a researcher on BBC Top Gear in the 1990s.

Alex had a clear goal for his television career: getting in front of the camera and presenting. Fortunately, he got his chance when Top Gear went through some mild turmoil just before the format featuring Clarkson, Hammond and May.
