I watched it already and cried with laughter. Rowan Atkinson was great too, and his facial expressions were brilliant.
The buffet caravan on fire was a classic, and the ending smash of another caravan was epic. How the hell did they get permission to do all of that?

Oh yeah, and I love how the BBC plays the theme to the A-Team whenever they go to a workshop and "cue the music", yet we get some dumbed down trash here. C'mon BBC, Top Gear is bigger than the Beatles so surely you can afford the international licence to play the proper music.

I have no idea, but common sense would say someone somewhere said yes to a diesel loco ploughing through the "Scum Class" car
(I can't believe I put common sense AND Top Gear in the same passage of text!!!)

I laughed so hard I was coughing when Jeremy unveiled the "scum class".
I'm still giggling about it now.

Idiots.
???? they showed every episode of season 16 and have showed quite a few of the better eps from previous seasons.

season 17 eps will air from tonight on ch9 i believe?? so they're only 3 weeks behind as they were for season 16.


as for ep04 & the train... i haven't laughed so hard in ages...

Petrol pummmp. Another great episode. Rowan Atkinson was great and he was a proper car man. Did I hear him say he races a 67 falcon? Is there a different one? Scum class is a laugh everytime I think about it. This season really is turning out to be one of the best seasons yet.

They can never agree on anything. It'd be a 26 part series where they've blown $10mill and have nothing to show for it.

Another choking with laughter quote of JC. When you see how close he got to crashing into that train it's hilarious. He just seems to get funnier and funnier as time progresses. I've seen it twice now and I still burst out laughing when he says it.

Yeah but it was a pretty average episode to end a series on apart from "that" segment.
