>person to have communicated with the Stig

You should, perhaps, bear in mind that it's entirely possible - indeed, even probable - that this segment was done as a joke by a production staff, presenter, stunt driver and guest star who are all familiar with the 20th-century motion picture Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and that the Stig does not, in fact, communicate in ARP 2500 alien mothership tones. :)

(There's plenty of precedent for that kind of thing where the Stig is concerned. I mean, Perry McCarthy didn't really drive an old Jag off an aircraft carrier and drown in the first episode of series 3, either.)

Ironically, Kate wasn't the first guest star whose segment I started to put together for this episode; I decided to go with her instead after getting some way into another segment when it occurred to me that the production team would, as you say, want to match up the segments. (I don't know as I'd read all that much into her time, either, since whoever appeared in that segment was going to get the "That wasn't really going to happen, was it? ... But it did" dialogue from Clarkson; I lifted it from an actual SIARPC segment that I happened to be watching to make sure I'd got the format right.)
