Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Years after their Top Gear glory days, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, show no signs of slowing down, and there are the best episodes of the top car show for fanatics. The presenter trio is still living dangerously, with May crashing into a tunnel at 75 mph while filming one of the best Top Gear specials of The Grand Tour in Norway.
The episode’s comedy germinates from the decision of the presenters to go the James Bond gadget route instead of making realistic police cars. May places a rear-mounted paint gun on his Lexus LS400, which is unlikely to help catch criminals, while Hammond fixes a self-deploying spike strip on his Suzuki Vitara, which doesn’t work as he hoped. Plus, there’s a more amusing moment where the trio goes after a “most wanted” criminal who turns out to be none other than the show’s test driver, Stig.
Instead of leather seats, there are plastic garden chairs, and to troll Hammond, a transparent roof box is included to accommodate his “big head.” To further prove that they are not serious, the presenters cheat through the EU road legality test and even use Stig’s weird-looking cousin, who prefers to have solar panels on his helmet, as a test driver. An Auto Magazine review of the car at the end of the episode gives it a 0.5 out of 5 rating.
11 Season 17, Episode 4 Guest Star: Rowan Atkinson Close The episode where the trio made trains was highly entertaining. Clarkson and company believe there is a need to make cheaper trains, so they attach caravan carriages to cars and put train wheels on them. The work done on the cars is impressive, but what comes after is what triggers all the chuckles.
9 Season 9, Episode 4 Guest Star: Simon Pegg In what can be compared to one of the cheesiest moments in Fast 9, Hammond and May attempt to modify a 1992 Reliant Robin into a Space Shuttle. It went surprisingly well for what could've been a disastrous mission.
The episode’s brilliance lies in the creativity of the challenges meant to test each car’s performance. From filling them with water to see how waterproof they were, to driving with eggs to see how many would break , the trio sorts jokes and laughs at their misfortunes. Best moment? Hammond’s car fails the handbrake test and rolls down a hill.
The humor in the Top Gear episode stems not from the challenges but from the dialogue, notably Clarkson’s hilarious conversation with an insurance representative after discovering that teenage girls have to pay less than teenage boys. Watching the presenters get into endless teenage-like arguments about which car has the most excellent girlfriend-attracting features is a head-nodding experience, too.
It's a battle of man, machine, and canine against the harsh elements, but the Top Gear team is up to the challenge.
