Thomas knew he was perfect for the role...

"I read the book and knew I wanted to be Barney. It was a great experience even though it was a very cold seven weeks in Derbyshire. When I first saw Robert (Stig) in his costume and touched him it was really weird. But we got on really well together and I felt genuinely sad filming the farewell scene with Stig. It was the last shot we did and was very touching."
