00:00Tonight, James tries his hand at being Beethoven.
00:07Richard wrestles a rampaging bull.
00:12And I develop a sudden urge to marry my cousin.
00:19Hello and welcome to the show.
00:21Now, last week we had a diesel on our track.
00:25And this week we've got something even more preposterous out there.
00:29Richard Hammond.
00:33This is the Vauxhall Monaro.
00:36And if it seems familiar, that's because we tested this car last year on Pendine Sands in Wales.
00:46We loved its big, honest simplicity, its V8 power and its amazing value for money.
00:52But most of all, we loved the ease with which it could do huge power slides.
01:00In short, it completely won our hearts.
01:09But now, there's a new one.
01:11And at first, it seems nothing has changed.
01:19Inside, you still get lashings of leather, a CD player, aircon, electric seats and all the other usual luxuries.
01:26But outside, you'll notice a difference.
01:28It's grown a pair of nostrils.
01:30And it's called VXR.
01:39So, we've brought it to the track because, frankly, we think this Monaro should be kept in a controlled environment.
01:45You see, underneath that Kenneth Williams bonnet, it's got more engine.
01:52And that means more power.
01:54It's now 6 litres instead of 5.7.
01:59400 brake horsepower.
02:020 to 60, 5.2 seconds.
02:05Top speed, 180 miles an hour.
02:08And all for 37,000 metres.
02:11That makes it the fastest Vauxhall since the mentalist Lotus Carlton of the 90s.
02:20But before we let off the party poppers, just hold on a minute.
02:27You see, Vauxhall have fiddled with the suspension and moved the position of the fuel tank, which leaves us with a question.
02:33Does the Monaro still have what made it a great car?
02:37Does it still handle like a dream?
02:39In other words, is this still the car we fell in love with at Pendon?
02:46Well, to find out, we've drafted in some help from our special friends in Japan.
02:56These are the D1 Drifters, the world's greatest power sliders.
03:00They're heavy smokers.
03:04And they make a car going round a corner into an art form.
03:09And whereas we can slide a car for 5 seconds and then run to mummy, these gentlemen can do it all day long.
03:20Naturally, the type of car they use is very important.
03:23And it really is a case of old dogs, new tricks.
03:26This Mazda RX7 and this Nissan 200SX may be eligible for bus passes, but drifters love them for their rear wheel drive agility.
03:37The engines do need extra oomph though, so they're chipped and nitroused up to 500 brake horsepower.
03:42So, with that kind of machine as a company car, what will the drifters think of my Vauxhall?
03:52This is Mr Kazama, who's one of their top guys at doing this.
03:56And he's going to give me some hints, make sure I get the best out of the Monaro, find out what it can really do.
04:01Unfortunately, it doesn't really speak any English.
04:03Does it really speak any English?
04:04No.
04:06No.
04:08So, we'll do the best we can.
04:10Right.
04:12With expert use of his marigolds, he set about teaching me the art of drifting.
04:17Before. Before the corner.
04:19Before the corner.
04:20Turn before the corner.
04:21Turn before the corner.
04:22Right.
04:23Oh my god.
04:24Oh my god.
04:25Oh my god.
04:26That's a little.
04:27That would work for me.
04:28Let's try that again.
04:30More turn.
04:31No.
04:32Less turn.
04:33Little turn.
04:34Little turn.
04:35Right.
04:37Oh, there.
04:38Too much maybe.
04:40Accelerating.
04:41Right.
04:42Here we go.
04:43We're in third.
04:44We'll equate down to second.
04:45Little turn, more power.
04:47But then it started to come together.
04:49Okay.
04:50Thank you for your advice.
04:54Oh, you've turned me into a hero.
04:57More importantly.
05:01It was a sure sign that the VXR had lost none of the original Monaro's handling ability.
05:08Let's have you do it.
05:09Okay.
05:10Your turn.
05:12And if it made me look good, you can guess what it did in the hands of Mr Kazama.
05:20Right.
05:22Right.
05:23Still sideways.
05:24Still sideways.
05:25Still sideways.
05:27Still sideways.
05:31Still sideways.
05:35That was the first time he's ever been in the car.
05:44What do you think?
05:45Good car?
05:46Good car.
05:47Good car.
05:48Good car.
05:49Yeah.
05:50Making noises.
05:51Things are broken.
05:53I think we can safely say that even with me at the wheel, the Monaro is still a brilliant car for drifting.
06:01With a guy like this, it's truly great.
06:06Job done.
06:07So, now we've got a choice.
06:08You can watch me have another go, or we can let the drifters show off a bit more.
06:13You can watch me have this...
06:14I'm fine.
06:15I'm fine.
06:16I'm going to steal my
06:18and it sounds thoughts, without Mooj.
06:22Ummm...
06:24Go augment thirts.
06:25Go for good 개인�� OK,
06:28take μS.
06:30Go Bears.
06:31Erm...
06:32All right,
06:37take!
06:40Get coming back!
06:41Wait.
06:42you see that a japanese bloke was eight feet taller than he was
07:02they are they are tall people they're a tall race the japanese as it turns out
07:07anyway you know my back is broken no because you haven't mentioned it ever
07:11on the television the radio or in the newspaper every half hour i may have let it slip out
07:16once anyway it was a monaro that broke it really yeah who'd like to see what i was doing
07:23the day before my spine went ping rather depends to be honest here we go let's have a look power
07:28slide power slide power slide power slide look at that's the longest one i ever did and then
07:34my spine shattered yeah well it happens but you've got to admit this thing is just born
07:39to go sideways still love it i do i love this thing still it is now time to find out what
07:46it's like around our track when it's sort of not going sideways yeah now that means handing
07:50it over to our tame racing driver some say that he's terrified of ducks and that there's an
07:57airport in russia named after him all we know is he's called the stig okay away he goes loads
08:04a wheel spin there this car's traction control is pretty simple at the best of times today we've
08:08simply turned it off so there could be some serious sideways action as a result no sign of
08:13it through the first corner though everything's pretty much under control so far oh dear stig listening
08:20to genesis there god i wish jeremy had stopped lending him cds into chicago still no hint of drift
08:25plainly the stig is not japanese even though i'm told he does appear on their banknotes hard on the
08:31brakes into hammerhead now quite a lot of roll there but the tail really not stepping out as you
08:36might expect it shows this car can be properly quick when you stop mucking about with it
08:40oh dear up towards follow through now let's see i think that the stig feathering the throttle's
08:52slightly on the way in but whoa really fast through the tires just two corners to go now it's still very
08:58neat where's all the oversteer and slidey stuff oh it's there into gamble and across the line
09:04okay before before i tell you give him his juice steve keeping that thing on the straight and narrow
09:14that was some driving trust me to try and stop it going sideways that was an achievement nevertheless
09:18the time is 1 30.1 that's not bad so that's about there same as an imprezzo hey that's pretty good
09:26you've got to say obviously there are faster ways of getting from a to b but there are very few ways
09:31of having as much fun in the process nothing else is sideways is that in fact i've had an idea tell
09:35you what why don't we put it like that and now the news and the big news this week is from vauxhall
09:42where it's just been announced that the monaro has been dropped they are saying that i've just been
09:48driving it mate i've got the japanese guys over and and they've dropped it yeah sorry i meant to tell
09:52you but you've wasted your time so that was all the complete waste of time what he was doing that's
09:57not embarrassing then have they got any left that we could buy well officially
10:01they say they've got enough left to last into the middle of next year and 5.7 as well including
10:05the original 5.7 which we loved that's fabulous fabulous and you know they recently reduced the
10:09price on the 5.7 to below 30 000 quid v8 muscle car for under 30 000 pounds which is phenomenal yeah
10:15that's a definite case of buying out while stocks last so you made a mistake there you've just gone
10:20and reviewed the wrong car thank you anyway listen there's a new honda civic coming out very soon
10:27and um i've got the details of it here from honda they say for the first time honda presents a civic
10:33that challenges the top end of the compact class a premium sports compact for the growing sector in
10:38the c segment i don't know what you're saying i don't know what i'm saying does anybody here speak
10:43marketing it's just some words got a picture of the new car here okay fabulous looking thing and for
10:50the back look at those triangular exhaust pipes now it's been specifically designed to look like this
10:56to frighten old people it has because you know honda are pathological about the fact that only old
11:03people buy their cars the average age of a civic buyer is like 130 12 at least yeah really are so
11:07they've done that so they're like don't buy this i'm so gonna buy my mother one just to annoy honda
11:14i mean really unbelievable um anyway i've got some details on it it's 13 000 to 18 000 pounds same as
11:20a focus same sort of engines you get the focus so that'll be totally reliable and it's built in
11:25britain which is exactly the kind of thing that old people like it is so there you are if you're elderly
11:30that's your next car there it is have you not got a map this week oh yes i am of course the map
11:35correspondent for top gear and not a map as such but i have been sent this it's the what m4 sites
11:43guide to find out about everything you can see from your vehicle on the motorway mind you it does
11:49say warning do not use world traveling now most important new car of the year okay is the aston martin
11:58v8 vantage no question about that and here it is i've driven it have you i've driven it come on
12:05then what's it like well unfortunately there's an embargo on it okay which means i'm not allowed
12:10to talk about it until august the 30th which is we're not on air i know it's a real shame because
12:16i really wanted to talk about the noise because honestly it is you put your foot down and there's
12:21this whale from the v8 okay because there's this um valve in the exhaust which i can't mention you
12:26can't tell us no i can't tell you this but when you put your foot down hard it flicks open and you
12:31can hear that car two miles away that's how loud you could have told us that i know i'm really sorry
12:36and the other thing i can't tell you was the ride okay it's firm but it's really well controlled
12:43it's like the most oh it's a fabulous thing you see i would have loved to have heard that
12:47i'd like to know you can't tell us how fast it goes or anything no 175 can't mention no sadly not
12:55i have to say i can't wait till the 30th when we can find out i know you're not allowed to tell us
13:02how much it costs either the price no actually i really can't tell you how much it costs because
13:07remember when they said they were going to do that this is going to be same money as a 911 and it's going
13:10to be 60 000 pounds it was 65 70 75 it's like an auction oh somebody put their hand up for god's sake
13:16when we came on air it was 80 000 it's probably about 87 now and there's a three-year waiting
13:21list for that by the time if you're at the end of it you'll be paying half a million quid
13:25oh now bit of bike news this week there's been talks at high level in government of capping the
13:31noise from bikes exhaust at 74 decibels good now that's about as loud as a hairdryer and it goes
13:37further than that because what they're saying is if you were caught with a bike louder than that
13:40the police would be able to confiscate it i'd go further i'd shoot you in the middle of your face
13:44just because you hate bikes mate it isn't it's because i live on a road in the cotswold and
13:50every weekend city boys come out on their pqrs double tts okay
13:54the japanese four-cylinder bike being revved to about 11 and a half thousand rpm sounds
14:02glorious yes squeaking and triumph triumph three-cylinder motorcycle engine you don't get that noise
14:06anywhere you told me the other day that your bike whatever it is sounds like you belching
14:12no i didn't no i didn't no what i said was the sound at low res from the exhaust is like the sound
14:18that a burp makes when it's forming down here i don't want to hear a forming burp going past my
14:24house on a sunday afternoon with someone dressed like a power ranger i don't want that i don't
14:31don't clap him he's wrong i'm so not wrong actually i'm quite glad that you don't like it i'm actually
14:36quite glad about this possible legislation because i think bikes should be slightly outside the law that's
14:41why we want to be a little bit rebellious because i don't want you to like my bike i want it to upset
14:45you okay mr rebel mr easy rider let me ask you a simple question few years from now okay you've got
14:50two daughters some spotty oik turns up at your house on a pqrs z double t okay i've come to take
14:57your izzy out what are you going to do ha got him i'm going to keep a big bucket of sand by the door and
15:03when i see him at the door i'm going to go stick my head in it and then the problem's gone away
15:07i don't have to worry anymore you're going to let a man on a bike take your daughter out oh
15:13that's a difficult one how about if i turn up in 10 years time to take your izzy out
15:17then on the other side of the door i'm going to have a big bat because in 10 years time his
15:25daughter's going to be 14 and you're going to be 75 that's one of the reasons why he'd have to
15:31clobber you with a bat probably with a nail in it now you know i did um top of the pops the other
15:36day oh do i know that it was the first time he'd ever done live tv and i was there in my living
15:42room with my sky plus on very record every humiliating cook up and there weren't any because
15:50live live mr local radio dj ped live mr oh i need to do it live i'm much better live anyway the
16:00thing is okay while i was doing it i noticed that one of the acts in particular was absolute rubbish
16:05okay just they were appalling and i was thinking when they were banging the garden furniture together
16:10i would rather listen to an exhaust pipe okay than this and that gave me an idea okay can you use
16:17a car engine as a musical instrument okay could you for instance re-record the theme music for top
16:24gear using nothing but engines well you couldn't obviously because you have no musical talent
16:29whatsoever i don't but he does he has old captain slow there has a degree in music actually it's
16:36absolutely true so i decided that i would take up jeremy's challenge
16:41this is the famous top gear theme tune as played by me on the casio songbank keyboard
16:49and it's my job to collect all of these notes onto a recording device using only car engines to make
16:56the sound now if you think this is difficult you'd be dead right and here's the first problem
17:02when you run your finger up the piano keyboard like little richard you get a succession of distinct notes
17:09that i'm afraid is just a noise so what i've got to do is listen out for the exact note i want
17:18hold it and in this honda s2000 that sounds like a d roughly it is at four and a half thousand rpm
17:26and then record it so this calls for a very good ear and absolutely supreme driving skill
17:32also there are quite a lot of notes in the top gear theme tune so we're going to need quite a lot of
17:39cars oh yes we've got thundering v8s operatic v6s a howling rotary engine a booming old vet and even
17:48a one-cylinder dumper truck and it's probably the only time it'll feature in the same lineup as this
17:56yes this is the only road test i can think of where a single cylinder earth mover is going to be as much use
18:06as a 420 000 pound italian supercar
18:10the enzo has a lot going for it in a game of top trumps it will do 220 miles per hour
18:19it has computers that wouldn't embarrass a spaceship and michael schumacher helped to develop it but
18:25today we're only interested in this
18:27it's six liter v12
18:31i think somewhere in this v12 we will find the high d we need for the tube so let's just have a go
18:45there it is there it is
18:53so that's the first of the notes in the bag now we'll move to the mid-range and sticking with the
19:03italians the rare and charismatic alpha s z
19:07with its love or hate looks the s ed was one of the most extreme cars to come out of italy in the
19:1790s what i remember most though is the thrilling sound of its three liter engine
19:22let's take this lovely v6 up to about three and a half thousand revs and we get
19:31an f
19:33the day was a smorgasbord of trial and error as the weirdest musical recording ever devised
19:45slowly took shape this is going to work
19:47the rotary engine of the mazda rx-8 delivered the goods at 9 000 rpm
19:53c
19:59the new suzuki swift looked good in the flesh its four-cylinder engine gave us a nice b
20:04and as an added bonus
20:12that's an f
20:15now viewers under 79 bear with us because to find some of the lower notes we had no choice but to
20:21trundle down memory lane
20:25the nineteen twenty six bugatti thirty five times he came first second and third in the
20:31target florian
20:32and the noise from its two point three to straight eight
20:35would have shaken the teeth of the shepherds in the sicilian hills
20:40and this is the sound you just don't hear anymore
20:44and sure enough it coughed out a low g that just left a b flat to get
20:52i'm thinking big i'm thinking actually quite brash i'm thinking a sort of elvis presley in his las vegas years
20:58the nineteen sixty six corvette stingray may have been built in kentucky but the engine a big block v8 that's a different matter
21:05but the engine a big block v8 that's a different matter
21:12it may be a simple old nut but it was made in detroit
21:14motel
21:16they know a thing or two about music
21:18just listen to that an a straight out of the pipes
21:24with all the notes down on tape my next job was to find a recording studio and some boffins
21:31who could shape the engine noises into the top gear tune
21:35nearest me is dom beacon he's a composer and to his right is guy pratt who amongst other things
21:42plays bass for pink floyd whilst they're arguing
21:45the first thing the chaps did was to match all of the engine notes to a computerized keyboard
21:51there it is
21:54but then they wanted to fiddle with any notes that weren't pitch perfect
21:58just treat it like you treat the vocals of just about every major pop star
22:02which is just you have to go in and then actually get it closer to the real note
22:05so what are you saying pop stars can't sing
22:08no
22:09no
22:10never dreamed of it
22:11that's all very well but my engine notes weren't the squawkings of some pop idol reject
22:16so i insisted they keep the sound as pure as possible
22:20you can see the bends gone
22:23yes
22:24eventually the engines won over the musicians
22:27that's very close
22:29well let's go with that
22:30these cars actually produce better notes than a lot of people in the charts today
22:33and by the end of the day we had something
22:36all i had to do now was pay them their exorbitant fee
22:40a couple of old remainder parts and videos
22:42oh fantastic
22:43we're looking for these everywhere
22:44i've peeled off the reduced 99 pence stickers
22:47good call
22:49and a ticket to the show
22:50cheers
22:51well fantastic
22:52just one
22:53well done
22:54well done
22:55well done
22:56well done
22:57now i'll just um
23:00let me just clear something up if i may
23:06you were genuinely recording notes
23:08yes
23:09i mean b's d's and e's from engines
23:11absolutely there was no trickery involved that was musical notes played on cars
23:15and you've got the finished product there
23:17i have
23:18we've got to get hamster hamster you've got to come come and listen we've got it this is the big moment
23:22okay james
23:23okay you ready play
23:26baby
23:45What did you do? What was that? What was that? What was that? I have to admit, I did actually hear that yesterday and I think it's got worse in the night. What's that fart in the metal?
24:09That's a bit of Bugatti, but it was running a bit flat that day.
24:12You know those guys in the recording studio were saying, you know, you can put it in a computer, you go, errr, and you put it in a computer, it goes, errr. If you'd have done that, we could have got it in the charts.
24:21He could have introduced it on top of the pot. We could have been millions. Exactly.
24:25Yeah, because that would have made me no better than Simon Cowell. What, you mean rich? He's got two Rolls Royces men. I've got that.
24:31What Simon Cowell does is he takes this sort of fat, talentless shop assistant and makes her sound like Barbara Streisand.
24:37Yeah, but what you've done is you've taken a car and you've made it sound like a fat, talentless shop assistant farting.
24:43Exactly. It's awful.
24:45No, you said make the tune with exhaust notes. That's what I did. I'm a purist.
24:48I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I would like to apologise to Dwayne Ormond who wrote that song.
24:53And I know you're dead, Dwayne, but, you know, we're really sorry. He did it.
24:56He did it.
24:56OK. Now we've got to move on, OK, because it's time to put a star in our reasonably priced car.
25:03My guest this week, I always thought, was a Brummie.
25:06And I'm delighted to find out that actually he isn't.
25:09Ladies and gentlemen, Timothy Spall.
25:10Now, I'm not alone, am I? I'm not alone in thinking that you are a Brummie.
25:28I'm sure everybody thought, because of our Vida Zone pair, that you are a Birmingham person.
25:33Well, I suppose so. I mean, people should say to me, what part of Birmingham are from?
25:37I say, I'm from the south of Birmingham, Battersea, which is quite a long way away.
25:42It is. Because, of course, you are, I mean, we all know you, obviously, Barry, from our Vida Zone.
25:48But I was just looking at what you've done over the years. It's endless.
25:51Yeah.
25:52Endless amount of films, right up to Harry Potter.
25:54With the ears and the teeth, yeah.
25:56I think I probably win the prize of the ugliest character in the...
26:01I don't know, Michael Gambon's in it. He's not a pretty man.
26:04He's gorgeous.
26:05Well, I wouldn't sleep with him.
26:07Wouldn't you?
26:07No, I've weighed it up many times, and I've decided no.
26:10He told me you had.
26:14God, he's always doing that.
26:16And then most recently, there's been a couple of films, haven't there, with Tom Cruise?
26:21Yeah, me and...
26:23You're like...
26:23Yeah, we're like...
26:24No, yeah, I've done it. I did The Last Samurai, and I did a film that before that,
26:29which nobody understood, called Vanilla Sky.
26:31No, I love Vanilla Sky.
26:33Did you?
26:33No, it's a great film.
26:34No, I love that.
26:35You must go on okay if you worked in two films with him.
26:37He's a lovely guy.
26:38He's a really nice guy, yeah.
26:40He's more into aeroplanes than cars, though, I think.
26:43He's got an America fighter plane from the Second World War.
26:46That's what he gets his kicks from.
26:48Yeah, well, it's easy when you're Tom Cruise to have fighter planes.
26:51Most of us have to make do with cars.
26:52Yeah, yeah.
26:53That's the way it works.
26:54Now, the one thing I'm always baffled by, when guys like you come on the show,
26:58and Gambon, and Patrick Stewart, for that matter, and all the other actors...
27:01All their lover, all those other mincers...
27:02All those other amazing actors that we've had over the years,
27:05is you always assume that thesps aren't going to be interested in cars.
27:09But you are, aren't you?
27:11Yeah, well, you assume they get into their carriages in their velvet cloaks and fedoras.
27:16I can see them sitting, sort of, that whole Daniel Day-Lewis thing.
27:19Bring the Phaeton around.
27:22Exactly.
27:23But you're just another one that does like your cars.
27:25I love them, yeah.
27:26I suppose, I mean, cars are, you know, they're all different characters, aren't they?
27:31And they say something to you, or they...
27:32It's not a technical thing with you, is it?
27:34It's not like Gambon, who really likes how they work,
27:36and, you know, sort of sits and fiddles and makes his guns and...
27:39I don't know how they work.
27:40I'll tell you, when I had my first car, which was a Vauxhall Viva, my wife and I,
27:44she said, she gave me a can and said,
27:48put that in the car, and it was a tin of antifreeze, right?
27:51She meant put it in the boot, and I took the cap off the engine
27:55and put it inside the engine.
27:57Put it inside the engine.
27:59In the car.
28:00And put it back on, yeah.
28:02So that blew the Viva to small pieces, I presume?
28:04Well, no, it survived.
28:05It was another one of my cars.
28:07All the cars I hate survive, and all the cars I love die.
28:11I don't know why.
28:11So you're not a really, you're a proper man, you don't read instruction books.
28:15No, I can't, no, no.
28:16No, it took me, it took me 11 hours to put up Barbie's horse box.
28:25No, I don't know, I just, I'm scared of, I mean, I don't know anything about mechanical things.
28:29I'm genuinely interested, though, because I've looked back at the cars you've had over the years,
28:33and it seems to alternate between really, truly terrible cars,
28:36and the Nissan Prairie has popped into my head here.
28:39Yes, yes.
28:39And then, almost immediately, something really cool, Rover Coupe, whatever, old Jags.
28:45Yeah, yeah.
28:45So what goes on?
28:46Why do you do that?
28:47Well, I think I have outbursts of uncharacteristic sensibleness,
28:51and I'm in denial that I have a serious car fever,
28:55because then if I've got something boring, I get like a fever, I get like a disease,
28:59a compunction to go out and buy something that I really fancy, you know.
29:04So what have you had then that's good?
29:06Never forget the Prairies and Cavaliers and so on.
29:09What have you had?
29:09Well, I had a 1962 S-type Jag, which was very nice, with the spoke wheels and everything.
29:14And then you replaced that with a...
29:15I think with a Volvo 240.
29:20See what I'm saying?
29:22It's the...
29:22No, I don't like this.
29:25Also, it's fiscally conditioned.
29:28Sometimes you have a good year, sometimes you have a bad.
29:30Well, I know that's true.
29:31A lot of people are surprised, though, when they see you in the really rubbish cars.
29:35Yeah, I know.
29:35I was sitting not far from my house once outside a shop,
29:39and a bloke stopped in a car and he said,
29:41Oi, Tim.
29:42I said, yes.
29:43He said, you can do better than that, can't you?
29:48And that was a what?
29:49I think it was a Nissan Poopy or something.
29:53They all are.
29:54They all are.
29:55Now, you and Jimmy Nail, obviously from Alvidesign,
29:58didn't you talk about opening a classic car dealership at one point?
30:02Well, we talked about it, but we weren't going to sell them.
30:05What we were going to do was just have about ten sitting there
30:08and sort of admire them and then just take a different ride at one home every night.
30:12That was bad business then, really.
30:14Good job you're an actor.
30:15I think it would have been, yes, we wouldn't have done much business.
30:18Mind you, I would have liked to have seen someone complaining to Jimmy Nail if the car had gone wrong.
30:22Yeah, no, he wouldn't have been complaining for long.
30:25No, he wouldn't.
30:25He can get people to clear off with a look.
30:28And, of course, now you're here.
30:32Here I am.
30:33And how did it go out on the track?
30:34From my sins.
30:35Oh, well, I don't know.
30:36I really, after I got past the sort of brown factor of this.
30:43Because did I see the Stig taking you out in a Monaro?
30:45Yes, that was very brown.
30:48Did it, at any point, was it going?
30:50Yes, it seemed to be going sideways at 150 miles an hour.
30:54I didn't know.
30:55How can you be going this fast not being in the air?
30:58I don't know.
30:58I always think that that car, they should fit windscreen wipers on the side windows.
31:02Because you're just always going.
31:03And on the seats.
31:08Oh, what's happened?
31:09I know, it's a great car.
31:11So then it was the Liana, and you were okay?
31:13Yes.
31:14I mean, as I say, I was very determined.
31:16It's funny, because I didn't think I'd be...
31:19I wanted to take it seriously, but I was really determined to get it right.
31:22And I felt a bit flashed, but then I thought, no, I've seen other people in it.
31:24They look like a toss or so.
31:27So I probably look like king of the whole, of the Wally burger myself.
31:31Well, should we have a look?
31:32Yes.
31:33Let's have a look at the old lap, see what you look like.
31:35Here it is.
31:37Smoking start.
31:38Slightly crunchy gear change, though.
31:41Oh, yeah.
31:42It's okay, though.
31:43You didn't brake it.
31:44It's still working.
31:45Making a funny noise, though, at one point.
31:48Now, that's its normal noise.
31:49That's the sound of a 106 brake horsepower.
31:52That's nice and tidy.
31:53Nothing wrong with that.
31:55Brake.
31:55Brake, yes.
31:56You do have to for Chicago.
31:58Flip that perfectly.
32:00I do look like a Wally.
32:02You don't.
32:02This is good.
32:03Is it?
32:04Yeah.
32:05Hammerhead.
32:06Now, we learned last week with Mark Webber to go wide here, which is what you have done.
32:11Oh, come on.
32:13Settling down.
32:14Look at this hill.
32:16Well, that was flat out.
32:18That was good.
32:20Cooked through there, yeah.
32:22Oh, nice little drift.
32:24Missed the grass.
32:26Last corner.
32:27It's too wide.
32:28It's gone.
32:29Oh, no.
32:30Oh, no.
32:32We've crossed the line.
32:33So, there you go.
32:42There's all your predecessors.
32:44Where do you reckon you are in that look?
32:46I really don't know.
32:49I don't know.
32:49Down near the middle, bottom, on the bottom somewhere.
32:52No, no, no.
32:53You did better than that.
32:54In fact, I reckon if you hadn't had that last corner problem, you'd have done very well.
32:57You actually did it in one minute, 51.1 seconds.
33:02And that is right away.
33:06That means you aren't as quick as Renald Fiennes, the explorer.
33:15I bet he's quicker across the North Pole than me.
33:17Yeah.
33:18No, I'm just looking at that.
33:19See, are you quicker than Gambon?
33:21Because have you done the next Harry Potter film together yet?
33:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
33:24Where did he come?
33:25Is he...
33:26Where is he?
33:26Oh!
33:27Oh, no, no.
33:28Next time you see him, just four seconds, mate.
33:31Four seconds, yeah.
33:32Okay, ladies and gentlemen, it's been a huge pleasure having you here.
33:35Temps ball!
33:35Right, now, over the course of this series, we've been engaged on a quest to find the greatest
33:48driving song of all time, and over two million of you have been voting for this, our final
33:54shortlist of five.
33:55And tonight, we have the results, which we will announce in reverse order.
34:00Right, in fifth place is the headbanger's favourite, Deep Purple Highway Star.
34:04In fourth place, the biker's anthem, Steppenwolf, Born to be Wild.
34:09In third place, mercifully, some nonsense from Meat Loaf.
34:14Which means?
34:15Which means, it's down to the wire, between Golden Earring and Radar Love and Queen and
34:21Don't Stop Me Now.
34:23And the winner, what do you say?
34:26The winner, as voted by you, the greatest driving song of all time is Queen!
34:34It's Queen!
34:38You're right!
34:42Absolutely fabulous.
34:44Now, of course, we did have an award made, but then we ran into a bit of a problem.
34:49We did, because, you see, Brian May, the guitarist with Queen, says he doesn't like that song,
34:53so we couldn't give it to him.
34:54Freddie Mercury is sort of dead.
34:57We couldn't remember the other bloke's name, actually, so we couldn't go to him.
35:01So that just left the drummer, who, in accordance with EU rock star regulations,
35:06was floating around the med on his yacht.
35:08Right, in a moment, we're going to present Roger Taylor with this greatest driving song trophy,
35:16which we've purchased for the princely sum of 699 pence.
35:21The only slight problem is, the local engraver is a bit rubbish, frankly,
35:27and he's left the don't out of Don't Stop Me Now, for crying out loud.
35:33Roger Taylor, on behalf of Top Gear,
35:37I'd like to present you with this greatest driving song in the world ever award.
35:42It's to you and the other members of Queen for, er, Stop Me Now.
35:48I'm sorry, it's such a poor quality trophy.
35:51No, no, no, don't say that.
35:52No, actually, do.
35:53Yeah, we'll treasure this forever.
35:56It'll go into our enormous gong cupboard,
35:58and thank you on behalf of the band.
36:00Thank you so much, and thank you to your viewers.
36:07OK, now, I should just explain, OK, those girls on the boat,
36:11they were his daughters, so don't get the wrong idea there, please.
36:14Now, I've got a question, OK?
36:16What is the best-selling car in the whole world?
36:20Any thoughts?
36:21You?
36:22Honda Jazz.
36:23Honda Jazz?
36:24Honda Jazz.
36:25What do you reckon?
36:26Ford Mondeo.
36:27Ford Mondeo's not even close.
36:29Not even close.
36:30What?
36:30Toyota Corolla.
36:31Toyota Corolla is the best-selling car over a period of 50 years.
36:35I'm talking about the best-selling car right now.
36:37Any thoughts?
36:38Golf.
36:38Golf?
36:39Golf?
36:40The Chevrolet Matiz.
36:42You what?
36:42Chevrolet Matiz.
36:43The Chevrolet Matiz?
36:45No.
36:46There aren't that many lunatics in the world to be able to sell enough of those.
36:50It's actually a Deo Matiz.
36:52Do try to concentrate.
36:53No, it's a Chevrolet Matiz.
36:55It's not a Chevrolet!
36:56Just because they've tossed the word Deo out and written Chevrolet on the back doesn't make it.
37:00If I could, what's your name?
37:01Gary.
37:02Gary, I'm going to call you Jeremy from now on.
37:03Is that your name?
37:04No, it isn't.
37:05Actually, it is actually a trick question, this.
37:08Because the best-selling car in the world isn't really a car.
37:11Yep, it's this.
37:21The Ford F-150.
37:22And as you can see, it's not a car at all.
37:26What it is, is a business phenomenon.
37:29There are more F-Series Ford pickup trucks in the world than there are Australians.
37:39They sell nearly a million of these every year.
37:42That's 107 an hour.
37:46And it's not like the old Volkswagen Beetle or the Toyota Corolla.
37:50It's not sold all over the world.
37:52They sell 107 an hour only in North America.
37:56That means someone is buying one now, and now, and now, and now, and now, and now, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
38:09And here's the thing.
38:11We buy American fried chicken.
38:14We buy their fizzy beverages.
38:15We buy their TV shows and their music.
38:17We even buy into their walls.
38:20But we don't buy their pickup trucks.
38:24Why is that?
38:26Well, it's not cheap.
38:30£33,000.
38:32But for that, you do get a right-hand drive conversion, cruise control, air conditioning, keyless entry, a CD player, and something called preferred suede trim.
38:44It's the pioneering Wild West spirit with a Pioneer stereo.
38:49And then there's the engine.
38:53This lightning model has the same supercharged 5.4-litre V8 that you get in the Ford GT.
39:00That means 380 brake horsepower, and that means 0-60 in 5.8 seconds.
39:09This thing, this thing, this leviathan, this American god, will outrun a Porsche Boxster.
39:17It sounds like a jet engine.
39:25And it feels like it's being fueled by George Thurgood and every single one of his destroyers.
39:36So, I ask again, why don't we buy it?
39:44Well, most people who go for a walk in the American countryside are eaten by a bear, so they need a car with a gun rack.
39:51In America, everyone dreams of being a frontiersman out in the open in a covered wagon, whereas we don't really have that dream.
40:10You see, right now, I'm driving through a tiny little village, very rural, miles from any big city.
40:16And if this were America, it would be full of people doing whatever it is they do.
40:22Incest, mostly.
40:23But this is different.
40:26You see, within a spit of where I am now, you've got Madonna, Guy Ritchie, Hugh Grant, Liz Hurley, Kate Moss, Kate Winslet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Annie Robinson, Rory Bremner, and me.
40:43We want the fields, but we don't want to be too far from a skinny latte with a dash of extra espresso.
40:50I mean, in America, when you want some logs for the fire, you load your truck up with chainsaws and head off to the forest.
40:58What we do is go to the shops.
41:05Traditional breads, yeast-free whole wheats, yeast-free unbleached white sourdough, 100% rye bread, not blended with each soda bread.
41:13I really want chayapata.
41:20Carrot and parsley bread, poppy seed bread.
41:24Look at the choice of things I have here.
41:29Oh, that's handy.
41:30And we're lounging by the pool.
41:32Hang that on your front door for visitors.
41:35Some foie gras, thanks.
41:39You haven't got no flying fish wasabi.
41:41Sold out, yeah.
41:43Liz Hurley's been in her shoe.
41:44OK, I've got my groceries.
41:50I've got my...
41:51Well, they're scented logs, actually.
41:53And I'm particularly pleased with these.
41:57You want to guess what they are?
41:59You want to guess what they are?
42:00Um, they look like acorns.
42:02£11, this bag costs.
42:04Look, £11.
42:05Er, candles?
42:07No.
42:08No idea, then.
42:09Fire lighters.
42:10So you don't get the smell of paraffin on your fingers.
42:14Do they work?
42:15No idea.
42:16There's actually no smell.
42:17No idea.
42:19But the point is, is that I have everything here that I need to exist in the British countryside.
42:26And to be honest, it doesn't really fill a pickup truck.
42:29There are some other things, too, like the truck is rather thirsty and quite large for our roads.
42:39And you can't take it off-road and into our countryside, partly because Mr Blair would rather you didn't, partly because it doesn't have four-wheel drive, and partly because you might scratch the paint.
42:51So, there are several small reasons why we don't need a pickup truck like this, and then there's the main one.
43:03It's rubbish.
43:07The worst car I ever drove was a Russian Jeep in Saigon, Vietnam.
43:13And the critical word in that sentence is what?
43:16This is actually made using technology that would be instantly familiar to any 19th-century tunnelling contractor.
43:28It has a ladder chassis, for instance, which is made from old shovels.
43:33The brake discs, meanwhile, are the size of milk bottle tops.
43:36And then there's the interior.
43:40We'll start with the simple stuff.
43:42Look at this dashboard.
43:44Nothing fits.
43:45Nothing matches.
43:46There are huge gaps everywhere.
43:49And because it's classified as a truck, it doesn't have to pass the safety tests that a car has to pass.
43:58I mean, when you've got 380 brake horsepower, it's nice to feel that the steering wheel is actually connected to the front wheels.
44:07But look.
44:08Look at the play in that.
44:10How could it be this bad?
44:12This pickup, then, does not work in Britain, because we're just too sophisticated.
44:22I like to think that we've gone beyond this barn door engineering.
44:28That in our world of espresso coffee and zinc-top kitchen surfaces, the pickup truck is somehow, hang on a minute, he's nicked my firelighters.
44:41Oh.
44:43Oh, dear.
44:44That is the biggest problem with this car.
44:49It really is.
44:49So, honestly, that is its biggest problem.
44:51Yeah.
44:52All your stuff's going to get nicked out the back.
44:53Yeah.
44:53And the other one, of course, is, you know those late-night Channel 5 police crash things?
44:58Someone always in a pickup truck, they always roll it over, and now I know why.
45:02The driver has no control.
45:04Well, yeah, but it's because there is absolutely no weight over the rear wheels, and that's where all the power is sent.
45:08Basically, it gives you a pretty good idea of what it would be like to be in a barrel rolling down a hill.
45:13I know.
45:13I know.
45:13And look at the roof.
45:15Oh, you can't.
45:17There's one other issue as well, and to understand that, we have to go to the cool wall.
45:22Oh, yes.
45:24Over we go.
45:25And here it is.
45:30Here it is, and without a question or shadow of doubt, it goes there in uncool, and that's an end of it.
45:36This is the Mercedes A-Class, the new one, which is a very good car.
45:40Good car?
45:41No, it's awful.
45:42Why is it?
45:42No, it's not awful.
45:43It's very good.
45:44Don't argue with that.
45:45Is it cool or not?
45:46Not at all.
45:47Not cool?
45:48Not cool.
45:48No.
45:49No?
45:49Why not?
45:50It's a Mercedes.
45:52No, you see, that is a Mercedes, right?
45:55And that we're coming to in a minute, and that is cool.
45:57That's a CLS, okay?
45:58Is that cool?
45:59Big Mercedes is cool.
46:01What?
46:01I want some sense into you.
46:04The problem with this is, okay?
46:06And there is a problem with this.
46:07There is a big problem, is that one day you're going to be at a party, and you're going to be talking to someone with an SL65,
46:12and they're going to go, I've got a Mercedes, and you'll have to say, oh, I've got one too.
46:15Now, sir, I can use yours as a choc for mine.
46:17Exactly.
46:18It's not very cool, sir.
46:19Which brings us on to this.
46:21Yes, this is a cool car.
46:23Big Mercedes are cool.
46:24Small ones.
46:25Ah, so now we're starting to put a size thing.
46:27I mean, I know bigger things are cooler than smaller things, that is, for sure.
46:31But we really do like this car.
46:33Yes.
46:33What we really like is when it's black, and it's got the Brabus big wheels on it.
46:39Yeah.
46:39And I saw one the other day on Danish number plates.
46:42Eh?
46:42It was really cool.
46:43Oh, yeah.
46:44Danish number plates.
46:45Danish is cool.
46:47Danish plates are cool.
46:47Nobody's got an opinion on that, so we can shove it up there without any argument.
46:51Now, Porsche Boxster.
46:52What do we think of that?
46:53Very cool.
46:54Very cool.
46:55Oh, how wrong you are.
46:56Why is it cool?
46:58Because I think I look good in it.
47:00You'd look good in it?
47:01Yeah.
47:01You'd look ridiculous in it, I'm sorry to say.
47:05No, the real problem with this is simple.
47:07It's an uncool car.
47:09That's a given.
47:10This week, it became really seriously uncool.
47:13Here.
47:14James Mays just ordered one, so it goes down here like that.
47:19Three cars, very quickly, these are the ones we drove in Iceland, the cabriolets, these
47:23we established are all ones that have been converted to make into cabriolets from coupes.
47:27Audi TT, okay, that's for stockbrokers.
47:30It is.
47:31Chrysler Crossfire, that, what did he say?
47:34Sub-Zero.
47:35What?
47:35Sub-Zero.
47:36Do you know what?
47:37I think he's right, actually.
47:38The Chrysler's, Fiona Bruce would laugh.
47:41Look at it.
47:41It's got all bits sticking over it.
47:43It looks like a pantomime dame of a car.
47:45Just because your doctor said.
47:47It's cool.
47:47Now, this, on the other hand, where's your Audi TT gone?
47:51Uh, that's there.
47:51Because that is for stockbrokers, right, and your Nissan, that's for yachts.
47:55I can't, I can't.
47:56Has anyone got one of these Datsuns with a Renault engine?
47:58No, I've got a TT and I want a stockbroker.
48:00Ooh, where's the TT driver?
48:03Where are you?
48:05You like it?
48:06It's fantastic.
48:07Why do you like it?
48:08Because it goes well, it's got good road holding.
48:10No, no, is he cool, though?
48:11It's exceedingly cool.
48:13Sadly, you should have bought a Crossfire.
48:14No.
48:15Yes.
48:15No.
48:15Yes, yes, yes, I've got the microphone.
48:18Yes, I've got the microphone now.
48:20You feel free to chat away to yourself.
48:22That is now seriously uncool down there.
48:27Do you know, I know we're tight for time.
48:29I can't go home tonight and leave that there.
48:30I won't be able to sleep.
48:31That's not right.
48:33You can't.
48:33I mean, you can't, surely.
48:34There's any of it.
48:35It's just, you can't.
48:37Okay, I'll give you that if you'll give me this as uncool.
48:42I love it, but I'll give you it as uncool.
48:44Thank you very much.
48:46So that's that.
48:46Trade-off.
48:49What have you got next?
48:50What are you looking like that for?
48:51Nothing.
48:52What have you got next?
48:53I've got the BMW, I've got the BMW 3 Series.
48:57Looks like a Nissan.
48:58Looks like a Nissan.
48:59It doesn't look like a Nissan.
49:01It looks like 15 feet of car.
49:03It is.
49:03It's just some car.
49:04Some car.
49:05I'm sorry.
49:06Do you know what?
49:07First time ever.
49:09Can't be bothered.
49:10Can't be bothered to put it on the board.
49:12It's just some car.
49:20It is mild cheddar.
49:22It's a lump of car.
49:24That's what it is.
49:25Now, it's the holiday season.
49:27Thousands of people go to Spain to relax.
49:29Well, I went there for a different reason.
49:32The Spanish love a good festival.
49:35And the most famous of all is the bull run at Pamplona.
49:38Every year, people come from all over the world
49:41to run through these streets
49:42whilst being chased by angry bulls.
49:46Unsurprisingly, it's not safe.
49:48Last year, 16 runners were gored by bulls' horns.
49:52The year before, someone actually died.
49:54Only idiots take part.
49:58So, here I am.
50:00They dress you in white, give you a neckerchief,
50:02but it's OK, I feel safe because I've got a newspaper.
50:07In truth, I won't be using my newspaper
50:10to batter rampaging boy cows.
50:12Inside, it's got a secret camera
50:14so you can catch the action from ground level.
50:18At 8 o'clock sharp,
50:2020 tonnes of very rare meat is unleashed.
50:24That is, the bulls are on the road.
50:27I'm going to start...
50:27OK, the planet is starting now.
50:29What a merit.
50:31God, I can feel the ground moving.
50:34Hey!
50:36And we're running.
50:37This is terrifying.
50:38People are just tearing to get away.
50:55Right, they're there, look.
50:58It's amazing.
50:59People on the floor...
51:00This may look pointless,
51:02but there is reason behind it.
51:04On the bull run,
51:05your adrenaline levels double,
51:07your heart rate triples.
51:08The excitement and danger release a torrent of chemicals
51:11that give you a massive primeval high.
51:15And there's more!
51:17Jesus!
51:22That was close.
51:27I think that's it.
51:28It's the caveman running from the saber-toothed tiger.
51:33And once human beings get that fix,
51:36they'll go looking for it again.
51:37If there's any machine capable of doing the job,
51:52it should be this.
51:54The Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster.
51:56Now, there are several good reasons
52:12for bringing this car to test
52:14at the Pampona bull run.
52:17Firstly, there's the excitement.
52:19Then, obviously, there's the Lamborghini badge,
52:22which is a bull.
52:23And then there's the name of the car,
52:26Murcielago.
52:27That's a Spanish word.
52:28And it actually means bad.
52:31Obviously.
52:36Now, just like running from an angry hunk of sirloin steak,
52:40there's plenty about this car
52:42that'll keep your pulse in treble figures.
52:46Firstly, there's the way this thing looks
52:48at speed on the road.
52:50I mean, look at it.
52:51You see, the Roadster is seven centimetres lower
52:55than the hardtop.
52:57And that wasn't exactly a Range Rover to start with.
53:00So now, it looks like a missile.
53:05And then, there's the price.
53:07190,000 pounds.
53:10Obviously, there's also the speed.
53:13By using engineering witchcraft,
53:15the Roadster comes out at the same weight
53:17as the hardtop.
53:18So it's not slow.
53:210-60, 3.8 seconds,
53:24and a top speed of 205 miles an hour.
53:26That would be great
53:27in some lightweight track date Porsche thing.
53:31But in this,
53:32which is as wide as a suspension bridge
53:33and weighs nearly two tons,
53:35it's unbelievable.
53:36If that sort of speed scares you,
53:42there's one surefire way of slowing things down.
53:48It's an emergency rule to be used
53:51in case of sudden downpour.
53:53The only problem with that is
53:54sudden downpours tend to be quite, well, sudden.
53:58This goes in here.
54:04After five minutes,
54:05all I'd succeeded in doing
54:06was attracting a crowd.
54:08So, I recruited some help
54:10in my textbook Spanish.
54:11You know,
54:12have you ever put the roof
54:13on a Lamborghini Roadster?
54:16Oh, right.
54:18This is the roof itself.
54:20Uh,
54:21uh,
54:22yes.
54:23Can somebody,
54:23can you go on the other side?
54:25There.
54:26We'll give that to you.
54:27I think we need to go down and up.
54:30No, we can't do that.
54:31May I help you?
54:32Yes.
54:33Have you got one of these?
54:34No.
54:35That's not working at all for me.
54:37You've got Naomi Campbell
54:38in the passenger seat here,
54:39which is entirely possible.
54:41It's pouring down with rain
54:42in 20 minutes.
54:44OK, let's just call that done.
54:46580 it is.
54:48And, uh,
54:48and as you can see,
54:49it now has the roof on.
54:50There it is.
54:51200 grams.
54:52I think the only problem
54:53is the roof.
54:54The roof, then,
54:55is a classic Italian supercar
54:57afterthought.
54:58It's rubbish.
55:03Fortunately,
55:04the Merchelaga
55:04redeems itself
55:05with details
55:06which are quite exquisite.
55:08Look at those wheels.
55:09They're a unique design
55:11for the roadster.
55:12Even the carbon fibre
55:13latticework
55:14across the engine bay
55:15is a work of art.
55:17As a whole,
55:18this car
55:19is a thing of beauty.
55:20But let's not forget
55:21what the Lambo is about.
55:23It's a bull run.
55:30This
55:31is just
55:32so exciting.
55:36Every sense
55:37is tingling.
55:38I haven't felt
55:39this alive
55:40since this morning
55:41when I was chased
55:42by a bull, actually,
55:43but it's an unusual
55:44kind of day.
55:47The acceleration
55:48is shattering.
55:49It comes from
55:50no revs at all.
55:54If I change
55:55from third
55:55to fourth
55:56at speed,
55:57the traction control
55:58has to step in.
55:59It still wants
56:00to spin
56:01all four wheels.
56:02What's so great
56:08about the
56:08Murchilago Roadster
56:10is that it delivers
56:10all these thrills
56:12without the spills.
56:14Now, I should be
56:16talking to you
56:16from up a tree
56:17or via a seance.
56:19Lamborghinis of old
56:20were terrifying.
56:21But this car,
56:25with its four-wheel drive
56:26and its traction control,
56:27feels like it's been
56:28built in a lab
56:29rather than a shed.
56:33The amount of grip
56:35is simply mind-boggling.
56:37Corners just rush up
56:39one after another
56:40and you tear around them
56:41and then the next one's on you
56:43and it just eats them up.
56:45It just demands more
56:49and more
56:50and more.
56:52What I love about this car
56:53is that it sounds
56:54and feels
56:55and looks
56:56brutal and scary.
56:57But in truth,
56:58it won't eat you alive.
57:02It's like being back
57:03on the bull run.
57:05Only they've got corks
57:06on the horns.
57:11Engineers today
57:12spend a lot of time
57:13trying to separate us
57:14from the noise
57:15and the mechanics
57:16of what's actually going on.
57:17Not so this time.
57:19This still presses
57:20all the right
57:21caveman buttons.
57:23This is still
57:24a Lambo.
57:28It's what you might call
57:29a rare breed.
57:43That Lambo
57:44or the Pagani Zonda.
57:46Oh, that's a question
57:47I hope I never have to answer
57:48for real.
57:48It would be
57:49the Lambo
57:51Pagani.
57:52No, come on.
57:53You know
57:53it'd be the Zonda.
57:55Yeah, it would.
57:55It would.
57:56It's twice the price
57:57but it just would.
57:58Actually,
57:58there's one bit
57:59of that film
58:00I want to see again.
58:02It's you
58:02in the cow run
58:03in slow motion.
58:05Here's Hammond.
58:06See the big bloke
58:07coming up behind him
58:07grabs him
58:08and pulls him
58:09into the path
58:10of a cow's horn.
58:12I would actually
58:13quite like to meet him again
58:14to be honest.
58:15Well, we've got a shot
58:16a close-up
58:17of his face
58:18which I'd like to show
58:19to you now.
58:20There he is.
58:21Now, if you're watching
58:22the show tonight
58:23do please get in touch
58:25because I'd like
58:26to give you some money
58:27and on that bullshell
58:30it's time to end.
58:31And that means
58:32of course
58:32that we can be played out
58:33on my exhaust notes
58:34theme tune.
58:35No, it's horrible.
58:38On the basis
58:39it's the end of the series
58:41and we won't be around
58:42to answer the complaints
58:43I suppose
58:43we could do that.
58:45Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed
58:46watching the series
58:46as much as we've enjoyed
58:48making it.
58:48We'll see you in the autumn.
58:49Thanks very much.
58:50Good night.
58:55Well, I hate to spoil
58:57your enjoyment
58:58of this musical masterpiece
58:59but I must tell you
59:00that our journey
59:01around one of the most
59:02epic coastlines
59:02in the world
59:03continues next on BBC2
59:05and for comedy
59:06try BBC3
