Crews film a car chase
for The Sweeney on Sheppey

There were screeching of tyres and car chases in Kent this
week – and Jeremy Clarkson wasn't to blame!

Crews from the 2012 film The Sweeney have been in Whiteway Road,
Queenborough, all day.

But the Top Gear presenter was also on the Isle of
Sheppey – shooting cars at the same time on the same day!

It's thought the film crews were working separately – both
making a beeline for the island for different shoots.

Whiteway Road was blocked off and cars could be seen screeching
along the road, filming chase scenes for the Sweeney movie, which
stars Ray Winstone and Plan B.

Jeremy Clarkson, who had been filming nearby, turned
up later in a silver Range Rover to speak with the crews.

A BBC spokesman said Jeremy was shooting for the next series of
Top Gear, but would not give any more away.
