00:00:00Tonight, a dog won't get in a car, a flip chart falls over, and a man from Liverpool drives a car.
00:00:20Yeah!
00:00:30Thank you, hello! Hello! Thank you so much. Can I just say how nice it is to be back where we belong, BBC Two, 8 o'clock, Sunday night.
00:00:41Unless, of course, somebody's organised a snooker tournament, in which case, Happy Easter!
00:00:47And isn't the iPlayer ILLIENT?
00:00:52Well, when it freezes, broadband connection.
00:00:58What I'd like to do is shove it up British Telecom's...
00:01:04...start tonight with the aerial Atom.
00:01:08Now, there is a new much...
00:01:11...Astaburst, um, which has come along recently, and there was only one man to test it for us.
00:01:18He was born in a stable, and his name is James May.
00:01:24This is it. You'll be able to spot it in a crowd by virtue of its gold wheels, its gold chassis, its F1-style engine cover, and by the engine underneath it, which is now a 3-litre V8.
00:01:46Now, the normal rules are, if you've got a big, heavy car and you want it to go fast, you have to put a big, powerful engine in it.
00:01:59If you've got a small, light car and you want it to go fast, you don't need to put such a big engine in it.
00:02:04So what happens if you take a very light car and put a very big engine in it?
00:02:11Well, in my case, you look like a spaniel with its head out of the window.
00:02:16The old Atom had 275 horsepower. This one has 500 horsepower, and it only weighs 550 kilograms.
00:02:37Which means it has a power-to-weight figure of over 900 horsepower per tonne.
00:02:46So in top gear mass, it's twice as powerful as a Bugatti Bayron or a Ferrari Enzo.
00:02:52But the Atom is not just a rocket bolted to a roller skate. It's a bit more clever than that.
00:03:05These little paddles, for example, will shift the sequential gears in four hundredths of a second,
00:03:10or so quickly that there's no appreciable drop in power to the rear wheels.
00:03:15And that helps it go from nought to sixty in something like two and a half seconds.
00:03:21And now, let's bring all those numbers to life with a practical demonstration.
00:03:26Here we have a small selection of supercars from around the world.
00:03:30From Japan, the Lexus LFA, three hundred and forty thousand pounds, bristling with science.
00:03:37From Italy, the latest lightweight Lamborghini Gallardo, one hundred and eighty thousand pounds.
00:03:43Both of them with over 550 horsepower, and both of them packed with supercar technology and the pride of nations.
00:03:50So, let's see how they do against the Atom in a race, from nought to one hundred to nought.
00:03:58And there we are.
00:04:21Look how this cottage industry supercar mocks the conceit of empires.
00:04:26However, since we're on this built in a shed David versus big business Goliath theme,
00:04:36I have a confession to make, on the Atom's behalf.
00:04:41Now, the standard Atom, with 275 horsepower, costs thirty thousand pounds.
00:04:46This one, with 500 horsepower, costs a hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
00:04:51And even the seasoned Top Gear film crew were quite surprised by what you get for your 150 grand.
00:04:58What? Is there a radio? No.
00:05:02Is there no subwoofer?
00:05:03What? Hands free? No.
00:05:06No glove box? No glove box.
00:05:08Is it central locking? No, there's no doors.
00:05:10There's a spare wheel. I don't think there is a spare wheel. There's no boot.
00:05:14Cup holder? No, no cup holder.
00:05:17Cruise control? Nope.
00:05:18Somewhere to put your sunglasses? No.
00:05:20Your iPhone? That plugs in, surely? Nope.
00:05:22Top bar? No.
00:05:26The fact is, with this car, you're paying for super geek levels of engineering.
00:05:32The bespoke engine and gearbox alone cost fifty thousand pounds.
00:05:37And then you've got the magnesium wheels and the onboard computers that set the car up for individual owners.
00:05:43Also, the Atom V8 had a difficult and costly berth.
00:05:51Early attempts at the V8 were absolutely brutal.
00:05:56They were only really fit for track day boards, who wanted to drone on in the pub,
00:06:00about how they'd driven something that was undriveable.
00:06:05So they went back to the drawing board and then they got this.
00:06:08Not that. This.
00:06:19A hardcore car with a heart of pure gold.
00:06:25Love the steering in this thing. It's fantastically immediate.
00:06:30I'm just thinking my way through pens, really.
00:06:33It's as crisp as a bag of crisps.
00:06:41In fact, driving the V8 Atom is one of the great motoring experiences of my life,
00:06:46which is an excellent thought on which to end this film.
00:06:54Unfortunately, it isn't the end.
00:06:56In fact, things get a bit tricky for me now, because when Jeremy tested the original Atom several years ago,
00:07:02he had a race round the track against a fast motorcycle.
00:07:05And the producers enjoyed this so much, they've ordered me to do the same thing again.
00:07:13The thing is, since this Atom is considerably faster than the old one,
00:07:18it'll be up against a considerably faster bike.
00:07:22The BMW S1000RR, the world's most powerful road bike.
00:07:28And whereas Jeremy raced against a normal road-going motorcycle enthusiast, I won't be.
00:07:35No, I'll be against British EVO superbike champion Steve Brogan.
00:07:42Now, I thought this was unfair, and I protested. I said the Atom should also be driven by a proper
00:07:48racing driver, but the producers said no, it must be a Top Gear presenter.
00:07:52So, here we go.
00:07:56Oh, sorry mate. Sorry.
00:07:59Anyway, undo that strap, stick it on your head.
00:08:02Connect, action.
00:08:03Nice.
00:08:04And I'm off.
00:08:17No, he's going past.
00:08:20We've got roughly the same power-to-weight ratio.
00:08:25This is going to be about corners.
00:08:28God, I better drive out of the corner than me there, but I think I'm catching him again.
00:08:32Run, Chicago, give it a good beating down to the hammerhead, here we go.
00:08:42Hard on the brakes, turning in.
00:08:48If I'll get his power down in the corners like I can.
00:08:57Down to the follow through, flathead.
00:09:01I'm going to keep it right.
00:09:08More power.
00:09:13I'm gaining.
00:09:18I've gone past.
00:09:19I've gone past.
00:09:20Into the second to the last corner.
00:09:24Here we go for the last corner.
00:09:25Don't lock it up.
00:09:26And across the line.
00:09:35Cheers, Tiff.
00:09:37No problem, James.
00:09:38Anytime you want me.
00:09:39Thanks.
00:09:40Do you want this shirt back?
00:09:42Yes, please.
00:09:44Pretty sure you don't want it.
00:09:45No, you're right.
00:09:46Thank you, Tiff.
00:09:54Now, listen.
00:09:57Seven million YouTube watchers will testify to the fact that when I drove in Atom, it completely ruined my face.
00:10:04Ruined?
00:10:05Ruined.
00:10:06Ruined.
00:10:06I used to look like Pierce Brosnan.
00:10:08He was indeed these men.
00:10:09Now they're just sick when they see me.
00:10:11But the thing is, this one, obviously, is a lot faster than the one I drove.
00:10:15But you look just as hideous now as you did when you got into it.
00:10:20I think that's partly because my face isn't as flabby as yours.
00:10:24But it's also, it's also.
00:10:32Now, listen, it's also, it is partly that, but it's partly because I drove it with this windscreen on.
00:10:35And I know it doesn't look like, no, I know it doesn't look like very much.
00:10:38It's just a little piece of perspex.
00:10:39But that is enough to stop people ending up looking like you.
00:10:44Interesting point.
00:10:45Good.
00:10:46Now, I have actually driven the V8, I must say.
00:10:48And my abiding memory is one of understeer.
00:10:51Yes, no, you're right, actually.
00:10:52Because you do get to a fast corner and you turn the wheel more sort of,
00:10:55it's more in hope than expectation, really.
00:10:57Exactly.
00:10:58Which is why, to find out how fast it goes round our track, we need a man who has no fear.
00:11:04And no face.
00:11:05Absolutely, no face.
00:11:07Now, you may remember in our Christmas special, we found, well, we sparked fury, in fact,
00:11:12when we found a baby stick in a manger in Bethlehem.
00:11:16But the thing is, though, that was only one month ago.
00:11:21Yeah, now you're probably thinking there's no way that a car like the V8 Atom could be handled by
00:11:26a mewling, puking infant.
00:11:28But, the good news is, Stigs grow up very quickly.
00:11:32I do, I do.
00:11:34He's already been to school, there he is.
00:11:38He's been a teenager.
00:11:42Got a photograph of him here at university.
00:11:46Soon, he will be old enough to get a job on Countryfile.
00:11:49But now, he's here, and he's ready to go to work.
00:11:55So, everyone, please welcome, Top Gear's new Stig!
00:12:01And he's off, firing up the straight like a microbe.
00:12:05The Atom's three litre V8 is actually two motorbike engines stuck together.
00:12:09Here he comes, powering it into the first corner.
00:12:11Will it understeer?
00:12:13No, it will not understeer.
00:12:14Not with the tails coming out.
00:12:19Stig playing the wheel like a saxophone there.
00:12:22Chicago.
00:12:23Now, there is some understeer.
00:12:26But he sorted it out with a bootful of power.
00:12:29Coming up into Hammerhead.
00:12:30This really will show up its chassis floors, if there are any.
00:12:33Yeah, look, he's watching the speed.
00:12:35But again, he's got it all sorted out like a Japanese lunatic.
00:12:40Look at him.
00:12:41If new Stig keeps growing at this rate, he'll be 100 feet tall by Easter.
00:12:45Follow through.
00:12:46Really getting the hammer down now.
00:12:49Is he actually having to put opposite lock on there?
00:12:51I think he was.
00:12:53Stig, though, not phased even slightly more.
00:12:55Tail kicking out there.
00:12:57Second to last corner.
00:12:59Beautifully handled.
00:13:00And Gambon slamming it through and across the line.
00:13:05Now, we should explain.
00:13:09They have tried the new Stig out in a range of cars.
00:13:12And his times are broadly similar to those set by Sack's Stig.
00:13:16Yeah, we should also point out that the Atom V8 is within a shout
00:13:19of becoming the fastest ever car around our track.
00:13:22Which means, of course, beating the Bugatti Veyron Supersport at 1 minute 16.8.
00:13:28Yep, and it did it.
00:13:29I can scarcely believe this.
00:13:32In one 15.1.
00:13:38That is unbelievable.
00:13:40What a car.
00:13:41That is not bad, considering it has been driven by a Stig that's only 34 days old.
00:13:52Now, just before we do the news, we thought you might want to take a quick look at this.
00:13:57It's the Jaguar CX75.
00:13:59And it's kind of Jaguar's 75th birthday present to itself.
00:14:03And, well, I mean, it is a bit of a looker.
00:14:06And it's full of little references to great Jaguar cars of the past.
00:14:09This fin refers back to the massive fin on top of the old D-type.
00:14:13And then the back has been styled to have something of the old Jaguar XJ13 one-off of the 1960s about it.
00:14:21But here's the thing.
00:14:22In a modern world, there's no denying, I think, that is the thing of beauty to behold.
00:14:26But that beauty is much more than skin deep.
00:14:29Absolutely.
00:14:30This is, in fact, an electric car.
00:14:32There is an electric motor powering each wheel.
00:14:35But you don't have to plug it into the mains to charge it up.
00:14:39Because if you look in the back, we see a pair of gas turbines.
00:14:43Jet engines, if you like.
00:14:44Now, they can either generate electricity to recharge the batteries and increase the range.
00:14:49Or they can feed power directly to the motors and the wheels.
00:14:53In which case, this car develops 780 brake horsepower.
00:14:57And the other remarkable thing it has is a big spanner.
00:15:01Hello.
00:15:02Yes.
00:15:03Inside, it's all very modern, very cool.
00:15:05This mood lighting shows the driver which seat to sit in, I imagine.
00:15:09And then if you hit the buttons, you can scroll through different modes.
00:15:11And if you put it in track, it'll dim all the lights so the driver can focus on the driving.
00:15:16And it's got these great door handles that are ejector seat levers.
00:15:19And then when you want to get comfortable to really get down to the driving, you don't move your seat about.
00:15:23You move the instrument binnacle, the steering wheel of the pedal box back towards you or forwards like this to suit the driver.
00:15:29Obviously, in my case, it's going to be coming this way quite a lot.
00:15:32Now, Jaguar say this would do 0-60 in 3.4 seconds and 205 miles per hour.
00:15:40And the great thing is that the gas turbines will run on pretty much any flammable liquid.
00:15:45So you could fuel it with petrol or with diesel.
00:15:48Or if you wanted to save yourself quite a bit of money, single malt scotch whiskey.
00:15:53Now, there are just two problems, really, as I see it with the Jaguar.
00:15:57One, it doesn't actually work.
00:15:58And two, they'll never make it.
00:16:00But don't worry, because if you want to buy something very exciting, the Lancia Stratos is back!
00:16:08There it is!
00:16:10I know, it's one of the greatest cars ever made, the Stratos.
00:16:14What they do to create this one, take a Ferrari 430, remove the hideous body.
00:16:18Oh, I'm sorry, James. I forgot you've got one.
00:16:20Anyway, they remove the foul, disgusting...
00:16:23It's all right!
00:16:24Yeah, anyway.
00:16:25And then fit that new one, and I just think that's fantastic.
00:16:27How much is it?
00:16:28Half a million quid.
00:16:29Oh, that's...
00:16:30Now, if that's a bit rich, okay, don't worry, because...
00:16:33The Jensen Interceptor is back!
00:16:35Oh, yes!
00:16:37There's a car!
00:16:37Now, that genuinely is amazing.
00:16:39What you do is you take an old Jensen Interceptor to a factory in Banbury,
00:16:43give the man there a cheque for £105,000, and in exchange,
00:16:47he will fit a Corvette engine, new brakes, new interior,
00:16:50better rear suspension, and you end up with that.
00:16:53So that's all new underneath?
00:16:54Yeah, it is, basically a new car.
00:16:56But you'll actually be able to say to your wife,
00:16:58should we take the Interceptor tonight, darling?
00:17:01You just, you want to do that.
00:17:03Now, I've changed my name to Captain Stingray if I...
00:17:05That is an amazing-looking car.
00:17:09My grandfather used to build them.
00:17:10Oh, well, don't bother, then.
00:17:13In Birmingham, yes.
00:17:15Hey, now, there is a new Lamborghini on the way.
00:17:17It's so secret, this, and so new, we don't even have a picture of it yet.
00:17:20But we can tell you that it's the replacement for the Murcielago,
00:17:23and it's going to have a 700 horsepower V12.
00:17:26I fear, though, it's going to be rather overshadowed by this, okay?
00:17:30Now, this is a new American car, okay?
00:17:32And let me just give you the headlines, if I may.
00:17:36Horsepower, 2,000.
00:17:38So that's twice what you get from a Bugatti Veyron.
00:17:41Top speed, 300 miles an hour.
00:17:440 to 60, one and a half seconds.
00:17:46And it holds the lap record, as we can see here,
00:17:49at the Nürburgring and the Virginia International Raceway.
00:17:52Hold on a second.
00:17:540 to 61.5 seconds.
00:17:56Yep.
00:17:57Why haven't we heard about this?
00:17:58I don't know.
00:17:59Well, probably because the bloke who did it swallowed his tongue.
00:18:01It's still stuck down the back of the driver's seat.
00:18:03They can't fish him out.
00:18:05Oh, no, no, no.
00:18:06No, I apologize.
00:18:07I apologize.
00:18:08I haven't read this thoroughly.
00:18:12Look at that.
00:18:12You look at this, you go, here it is.
00:18:13Those are the things.
00:18:14Your horsepower goes, we will not quit until we achieve these goals.
00:18:18It's just a wish list.
00:18:19It's just a wish list of things.
00:18:21No, I think the biggest problem with this car, though, is its name.
00:18:24What is it called?
00:18:25The Scrotum.
00:18:27The Sweat Crack.
00:18:28It's called the Dagger.
00:18:30Well, that's all right.
00:18:31This is quite a good thing.
00:18:32No, no.
00:18:33Dagger like a little piece of poo stuck in a sheep's anal shrubbery.
00:18:39It's a Dagger.
00:18:41It is, isn't it?
00:18:42It's not a Dagger.
00:18:42It is, you see?
00:18:43No, that's a Dingleberry you're thinking.
00:18:45No, or a Clingon Dingleberry.
00:18:47It's not a Dagger.
00:18:49Nobody's ever stood over a body and said,
00:18:51oh, what was the weapon?
00:18:52I think he used a Dingleberry from the stage.
00:18:54It's not a good clue, though.
00:18:56You know, there are certain words that have two meanings.
00:18:58A Dagger is not a Dingleberry.
00:18:59It is.
00:19:00Lady Macbeth didn't say, is this a Dingleberry I see before me.
00:19:03Turns out it's a great name, and if they can achieve all their goals,
00:19:06it'd be a fantastic car.
00:19:08Now, that's enough new cars, really is enough new cars,
00:19:10because obviously the big news at the moment are fuel prices.
00:19:14And if I could just be serious for a moment, the problem we've got is,
00:19:17yes, the government could bring the tanks down and therefore cut the cost.
00:19:20That would be very popular.
00:19:21But we think that the overall trend must from now on be up,
00:19:26because getting oil out of the ground is becoming more and more complicated.
00:19:29You have to get it out of sand in Canada and so on.
00:19:32And so prices have to keep increasing.
00:19:34And what worries me most of all is that we've always thought, well,
00:19:38by the time petrol becomes so expensive we can't afford it anymore,
00:19:41science will have come up with a solution.
00:19:43And I don't think science has.
00:19:45No.
00:19:45And I think at the moment we're all imagining that we're just about to see a whole new
00:19:49generation of electric cars that will solve it.
00:19:51But the fact is, from everything we've seen, from our experience thus far,
00:19:54the electric car isn't ready.
00:19:55They don't kind of work in the real world yet.
00:19:57No, I mean, how long would it take you, for example, to get from here to your house,
00:20:01in an electric car?
00:20:02Because of the range, I'd have to stop halfway and recharge it.
00:20:04It's two days to get home.
00:20:06I'll just pop home and get something.
00:20:07That's our four days to come back.
00:20:10We can't use public transport because aeroplanes are grounded by a volcanic
00:20:13burt near the Arctic Circle, trains don't work in the autumn or on a Tuesday,
00:20:18buses are full of murderers.
00:20:20Really, the car is the only solution.
00:20:23For now, yeah.
00:20:24And now it's getting to the point where nobody can really afford to fill them up with fuel.
00:20:27To be brutally honest, the only real solution to keeping fuel prices down
00:20:31is population control.
00:20:33What, we need by China?
00:20:35No, not.
00:20:35James May's fuel price solution.
00:20:37Not kill people.
00:20:39Well, fair enough to think about it.
00:20:40How many people are there in France?
00:20:42In France?
00:20:43It's about the same as here, about 60 million.
00:20:44We don't need all of them, surely.
00:20:47I'm not talking about a pogrom.
00:20:48I'm talking about limiting the rate at which the population expands.
00:20:51Oh, no, so you're saying that because I've got three children,
00:20:54I'm causing fuel prices to go up.
00:20:57And because you spill your seed alone,
00:21:03rather than killing everybody in France and not having any babies,
00:21:07how about this for a much better idea to keep fuel prices down?
00:21:10No, individually.
00:21:11What about never brake?
00:21:13Oh, I think I know what he means.
00:21:16You burn fuel to get your car up to speed,
00:21:18and then the moment you hit the brakes,
00:21:19you're scrubbing that speed off and throwing it away.
00:21:20Well, I mean, actually, you do have a point there.
00:21:23You really should bear it in mind when you're driving,
00:21:25particularly petrol, whatever it is, five pounds,
00:21:2868 a gallon, okay, is every time you press the brake pedal,
00:21:31you are turning your money into heat, pointless heat.
00:21:35You're heating your wheel arches, which is absolute waste of time.
00:21:39So if you just think, okay, what I'm going to do is I'm going to lift my foot off the accelerator,
00:21:43keep the car in gear, and if it's a modern car, okay,
00:21:45as you slow down for the roundabout, the traffic lights, whatever it might be,
00:21:48you're not using any fuel at all.
00:21:51Top gear, top tip.
00:21:52Braking is actually the worst thing you can do.
00:21:55Actually, I'd like to modify that.
00:21:56Sometimes it's the best thing you can do.
00:21:58Yeah, yeah, it's probably the best.
00:21:59For example, if a pram rolls out in front of the car,
00:22:01don't think, well, this is going to cost me.
00:22:05It's not the car.
00:22:06If a pram rolls out, stop, but then send the mother the invoice.
00:22:12Right, that's the end of the news, and now, moving on.
00:22:14Yes, now, whilst we were off air, unfortunately, we had a bit of an argument,
00:22:18because, you see, Jeremy decided that the best car in the world was the Skoda Yeti.
00:22:24Well, it is.
00:22:25But it isn't.
00:22:26It is.
00:22:27I'm sorry, it isn't.
00:22:29Well, no, it maybe is if perhaps you're old enough to qualify for membership of Saga,
00:22:35which you are.
00:22:36It is.
00:22:37With age comes, well, actually, on Countryfile comes the sack, but with age on this programme comes wisdom,
00:22:45and the wisdom that I now have has taught me that the Yeti does every single thing
00:22:51better than every other car on the market.
00:22:53Coming up now is a film which shall prove my point.
00:22:57This is the car I'm talking about.
00:23:07The Yeti, 14 feet of Czech magnificence.
00:23:12It's available with two all four-wheel drive, petrol or diesel engines, and lots of exciting buttons,
00:23:19which do many things.
00:23:22This model is a four-wheel drive 1.8 litre Elegance, which at £22,000 is less expensive
00:23:29than a 1.7 litre two-wheel drive Vauxhall Astra Estate, and not much more than a Focus.
00:23:35And there's more room in it than there is in a Focus as well.
00:23:39I mean, look at the headroom.
00:23:40You could have a massive afro.
00:23:43What damage it at all?
00:23:45But is it roomier than a £300,000 Maybach?
00:23:52Well, this is a Maybach.
00:23:56And as you can see, it will take four people in sumptuous comfort.
00:24:00The Yeti can also take four, but if you fold the rear drinks tray away, there's room for five,
00:24:10on seats which slide forwards and backwards, or fold down, or roll over,
00:24:16or can be removed altogether to create a van.
00:24:22The Yeti van is more practical than a Maybach, but is it faster than an Italian supercar?
00:24:31Well, to find out, we've come to the Donington Motor Racing track,
00:24:35where the Yeti will have a one-lap race against a Ferrari 308 GTS.
00:24:46To ensure there's no bias, I shall be driving the, uh, the Yeti with my fists of ham and my fingers of butter,
00:24:53while the Ferrari will be driven by his stigness.
00:25:03Want a tip?
00:25:04Bet on me.
00:25:14Ferrari a little quicker off the line, does not 60 in 6.7 seconds, this is 8.7.
00:25:21But that's not bad for a tall riding van.
00:25:29Getting its knee down a bit there in the, uh, corners, but nowhere near as much as you might expect.
00:25:36A four-wheel drive system working now, sending the power to the cabal wheel has the most grip.
00:25:50Eventually, the Ferrari pulled out a bit of a lead.
00:25:53But I've got a sneaking suspicion, its lead is short-lived.
00:26:06I was right.
00:26:06In various places, Donington was being rebuilt.
00:26:16So, to protect its low nose and fragile fatlocks, the Ferrari had to slow right down.
00:26:22Whereas I did not.
00:26:25Relax! Come on!
00:26:28Go on!
00:26:29He's having to go round the outside!
00:26:34The Skoda is in the lead!
00:26:36And there we are!
00:26:49Proof!
00:26:50The Yeti is faster round Donington than a Ferrari 308.
00:26:57But what about toughness? How well is the interior screwed together?
00:27:01To find out, I am going to throw this super bouncy ball into the Yeti and as it pins around,
00:27:09I'm going to invite this enormous excitable dog to run in there and retrieve it.
00:27:15No, no, no, no, no, not the flies. Getting the flies won't damage the current anywhere.
00:27:19No, stop chasing flies. Here, look, look, look, look. Bouncy ball.
00:27:22Ready?
00:27:23Ready? And retrieve. Retrieve. It's okay. Luckily, I have a backup dog.
00:27:37It's kind of like a mouse in there, really. I'm...
00:27:52Yeah, it's like a mouse.
00:27:56If I'm honest, this test hadn't been terribly informative, so I decided to line up another one.
00:28:02As we can see, an enormous fire is raging out of control and the fire brigade has arrived, but
00:28:12their route to the inferno is blocked by the Skoda, so they're going to have to go through the car itself
00:28:17with their boots and their hoses and their breathing apparatus.
00:28:21I think if a Yeti can stand up to this, it can certainly stand up to your children's jally dodgers.
00:28:29Go, go, go, men, quickly, go through there.
00:28:35That fire could set fire to literally anything. The whole of Derbysh is at risk here, or Leicestershire,
00:28:40or wherever we are, it's at risk.
00:28:41He's coming out of the window, his enormous boots.
00:28:57After the terrifying fire had been brought under control,
00:29:01we examined the car and found that not a single thing had broken or come off.
00:29:06Onward then, to the countryside, where we find the Yeti has reinforced underside panels
00:29:15to protect vital components, such as the brake lines.
00:29:19It also has ABS, EDC, EDB, ASR, EDL, DSR, and crucially, ESBS.
00:29:31In short, a lot of acronyms to make sure that it doesn't run away with you,
00:29:36when you're going down a slope, or that it doesn't roll backwards when you're attempting to do a hill start.
00:29:46I meant to do that because now I can demonstrate the HBA. Ready? Here we go.
00:29:53See, I've got my foot on the clutch, not on the brake, handbrake off, and it won't roll back.
00:30:00That's, oh, that's impressive. Ooh, yes.
00:30:06And look at this. The sat-nav is tracing my route,
00:30:11so when I've had enough of driving around in a countryside,
00:30:14I can simply follow the route back to where I started from.
00:30:17That's clever.
00:30:19But what about comfort?
00:30:21Well, to find out how well the Yeti absorbs the bumps and the bashes,
00:30:24I've stolen an idea from another television programme.
00:30:28What I'm going to do is drive around some countryside,
00:30:33while the chap on the left over there sits in the back and gives a tattoo to the chap on the right.
00:30:39And I'm not talking about some holiday henna drawing that he can rub off when he gets home.
00:30:46I'm talking about a real tattoo.
00:30:59Right.
00:30:59Right. You may begin.
00:31:06Whoa!
00:31:06Now, Rob.
00:31:08Right.
00:31:09Go ahead.
00:31:09In terms of pain, where are we?
00:31:11Um, I'm on about a six out of ten now.
00:31:16Oh, what?
00:31:17It's a yarder than I tore it.
00:31:19Whoa!
00:31:21I do apologise.
00:31:22Sorry.
00:31:23Let me remind you, Rob is getting a real tattoo here.
00:31:27This is not faked.
00:31:29You may have gone a bit wrong there.
00:31:32Up front, I thought that Yeti was doing rather well.
00:31:36Slightly boggy bit here.
00:31:39Sorry.
00:31:40I reckon we could do brain surgery in the back of this car.
00:31:43It's so smooth.
00:31:45I'd possibly agree with you.
00:31:47Eventually, the tattoo was finished,
00:31:49so we pulled over to see what it looked like.
00:31:53Is that blood?
00:31:53Is it bleeding?
00:31:54Yeah.
00:31:54Is it bleeding?
00:31:55You're joking.
00:31:55That's blood.
00:31:57Now, look at that.
00:31:58I think that's quite good.
00:31:59I think that's amazing.
00:32:01It does look, not brilliant, but it's really not bad at all.
00:32:06Well done, mate.
00:32:07I've done worse.
00:32:08No, no.
00:32:08Listen, Rob, I'm afraid we've got some bad news for you,
00:32:11because you see, there is a second part to this experiment.
00:32:15Second part?
00:32:16Yeah, second part.
00:32:17See, what we're going to do now to demonstrate just how comfortable this is,
00:32:20is put you in the back of another car,
00:32:22and then do another cloverleaf on the other shoulder,
00:32:26and then we'll see what that looks like.
00:32:27Really?
00:32:28You probably think this isn't too bad, yeah, at the moment.
00:32:42It's all right at the moment.
00:32:44What I'm going to do is raise it up now into its off-road setting,
00:32:48and that does have quite a profound effect on the, shall we say, ride quality.
00:32:56Oh, jiggling really quite badly.
00:32:59Oh, I'm sorry, I do apologise.
00:33:02Whoa!
00:33:04There's a lot more pain involved in a rough ride like this, Rob.
00:33:08Would you say that?
00:33:09I would say definitely, yes.
00:33:12Ah, stab myself!
00:33:14It actually sounds like we're filming an episode of 24 in here.
00:33:19Does that really hurt?
00:33:19Yeah.
00:33:22Soon it was time to stop and analyse the results.
00:33:25How does it look?
00:33:32Honestly?
00:33:33Honestly?
00:33:33Not brilliant.
00:33:41So, what we've learned so far is that the Yeti's more comfortable than a Range Rover,
00:33:46more practical than a Maybach, faster than a Ferrari, cheaper than a Vauxhall Astra,
00:33:52and tougher on the inside, at least, than the fire brigade.
00:33:58But, and this is crucial, a lot of people ask me this.
00:34:02Can you get Sienna Miller in the glove box?
00:34:06Well, let's find out.
00:34:07Sienna, are you in there?
00:34:09Yeah.
00:34:09You are, and are you comfortable?
00:34:10Very.
00:34:11Marvellous, goodbye.
00:34:13Good mark for the Yeti there.
00:34:15But what about the air conditioning?
00:34:18Rolls-Royce always used to say that the aircon they used
00:34:21had the cooling power of 30 domestic fridges.
00:34:25So, can the Yeti beat that?
00:34:33To find out, I'm going to drive this car through that burning building.
00:34:40While holding this ice cream.
00:34:43Now, if it melts and I end up with sticky fingers, the aircon's no good.
00:34:47It's 900 degrees in here. Scientists would call that toasty.
00:35:07And it is, I suppose. You can roast a chicken at 180.
00:35:11I've asked on the dial here for 18 degrees.
00:35:15And if we look on this rubbish temperature gauge here,
00:35:17I don't know if you can see that.
00:35:19It's 18.7.
00:35:21This is amazing.
00:35:25Not a dribble.
00:35:26I am actually quite surprised.
00:35:30I thought this would be more uncomfortable than it is.
00:35:33What this car is, is the opposite of a Pop-Tart.
00:35:40Satisfied that I proved my point about the Yeti, I was going to call it a day at this stage
00:35:45and head back to the studio.
00:35:47But then, I had a thought.
00:35:52You see, Roman Abranovic has probably been watching this and thinking,
00:35:55yes, that is a remarkable car, but could I land my helicopter on it?
00:36:02Well, let's find out.
00:36:09Now, I should stress that we have not modified the structure,
00:36:13or the suspension, or the roof of the car in any way.
00:36:16We've simply added a 100 kilogram roof rack.
00:36:20And in a minute or so, we're going to be trying to land a 600 kilogram helicopter on top of it.
00:36:27700 kilograms on the roof.
00:36:34Don't look at the helicopter.
00:36:36Just look at the speed.
00:36:38It was crucial that I kept the throttle pedal as steady as a rock.
00:36:45Here he comes.
00:36:45The problem is, a car is very quick to respond.
00:36:50One twitch of your foot, that's disastrous from the helicopter,
00:36:54because that's very slow to respond.
00:36:57I can feel the car being pushed down now by the blade.
00:37:08Is he aborted?
00:37:11A million things can go wrong with this,
00:37:14and all of them end up with a fireball and me with no head on.
00:37:21Okay, we'll have another go.
00:37:27Here he comes.
00:37:33I can hear it.
00:37:36I don't know where it is.
00:37:38It was a lot worse for the pilot, though.
00:37:40He cannot see the car when he lands.
00:37:50He has no reference points.
00:38:02Is he down?
00:38:08He's down.
00:38:10I do not want a 150,000-pound helicopter jerking off and landing on the bonnet.
00:38:26He's down.
00:38:35Do not know where it is.
00:38:36Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...
00:38:38the Skoda Yeti.
00:38:42Put the helicopter on the roof.
00:38:44Now, hand on heart, tell me that you have seen a more complete car than this, because
00:39:02I haven't.
00:39:03Alright.
00:39:04Sell your AMG Mercedes and buy one.
00:39:08You're not going to, are you?
00:39:11You can't, you can't, because there's a waiting list, six month waiting list for a Yeti.
00:39:17And anyway, I don't want to talk to you two anymore, because it is now time to put a star
00:39:22in our reasonably priced car.
00:39:24Now, my guest tonight is a comedian, who comes from the same place that Cilla Black, Jimmy
00:39:30Tarback and Paul McCartney call home.
00:39:33What?
00:39:34Buckinghamshire.
00:39:35Liverpool.
00:39:36Liverpool.
00:39:37Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, John Bishop.
00:39:41How are you?
00:39:44Great to meet you.
00:39:46Have a seat.
00:39:49Popular man.
00:39:50It must be a long time since you've played in front of a crowd as small as this one.
00:39:57Well, to be fair, it's not, because the last 12 months, things have gone a little bit massive
00:40:04and a bit crazy.
00:40:06But I mean, literally 18 months ago, I was doing the Leicester Comedy Festival, and 14 people
00:40:13turned up.
00:40:14Fourteen people.
00:40:16I actually brought a round of drinks for the audience.
00:40:19And I had, I said to him, you're not going to believe this, but I'm on telly next week,
00:40:23and he went, no, you're not, mate.
00:40:25And I did the Michael McIntyre Roadshow, and then Live at the Apollo, and then things have
00:40:29spiralled from there, really, but it's literally in a hair's breadth.
00:40:33And are you now doing the big stadium, the O2 comedy games?
00:40:36I did, I did Wembley.
00:40:38On this current tour, I did Wembley, and we've just booked, which is brilliant, we've just
00:40:42booked the Albert Hall.
00:40:43How, because I've never been to one of these stadium comedies, like the equivalent of Queen,
00:40:48we will rock you and all that.
00:40:49How do you hear a heckler, for example, if he's three and a half miles away at the back
00:40:53of the, what was the dome?
00:40:54Well, they have to send an email, and then, but I'm like you, I walk on thinking, I can't
00:41:00believe this is working, but it's lovely.
00:41:02But you've been invited on celebrity, what was it, Mastermind, wasn't it?
00:41:06What did you choose as your subject?
00:41:08Well, when they phoned me off, I didn't want to do it, because I'm a little bit cautious
00:41:12of that thing, you know, whatever celebrity is, so I didn't want to do it.
00:41:15So they said, they said, you know, it's all for charity, and it's a good thing to do,
00:41:22and I said, oh, okay.
00:41:23Then they said, what's your specialist subject?
00:41:25So I said, can I have holidays I've been on?
00:41:28And Nathan said, sorry, John, you can't have holidays you've been on.
00:41:33I said, why is someone else doing it?
00:41:35So they said, pick something else, and it was just one of those awful moments, you know,
00:41:41when you hear yourself speak, and you hear a voice and think, that's me.
00:41:45I just said that.
00:41:46And I heard my own voice say, the Irish potato famine.
00:41:51Did you, I mean, honestly, did you know anything about it?
00:42:00I knew nothing about the Irish potato famine.
00:42:02Nothing.
00:42:03I came last.
00:42:04But what annoyed me, is I was on with the Irish comedian, Ed Byrd, whose specialist subject
00:42:10was Star Trek.
00:42:11And I'm doing why his grandad had no tea.
00:42:14I thought I know about Star Trek, why'd they do that?
00:42:20Now, my kids first alerted me to the presence of John Bishop.
00:42:24They told me, you've got to come and see this guy.
00:42:25He's in our living room.
00:42:27He's in bed with your mum.
00:42:30What's he doing here?
00:42:32So he's like, you've got to come and have a look at this guy.
00:42:34He said, you're a drag dealer.
00:42:35You go, what?
00:42:36It on YouTube.
00:42:37And I thought, well, there's no way that guy's going to be funny, because his teeth are too
00:42:40white.
00:42:41Forgive me for saying this, but a good looking chap, such as yourself, tends not to be funny.
00:42:52You are funny.
00:42:53Yeah.
00:42:54Well, yeah.
00:42:55That says a lot.
00:43:00I think, thank you so much.
00:43:06But no, I think, because I know girls always say, oh, the thing we look for, most of all,
00:43:10the thing a man is, a big what?
00:43:15Yeah, no, I've got that as well, to be honest with you.
00:43:18No, what is the sense of humour, yeah?
00:43:20It's not true, because whenever you go, there's somebody like you, big teeth, look at my arms,
00:43:24look at my pecs.
00:43:25Basically, girls go for that, and then there's some poor bloke like Bill Bailey going, I'm really
00:43:29funny, and it doesn't work, because his hair's trying to escape.
00:43:32So, do you see, what made you think, I need to be funny?
00:43:38I don't know.
00:43:39I've got to be honest, this is quite, this is one of those, I don't know how any other
00:43:44bloke in here, I don't know the bloke, particularly a famous bloke going, you're a good looking lad.
00:43:48Particularly in a man in a velvet jacket, it kind of, it's a kind of undertone, you know what I mean?
00:43:55Now, let's switch it to Cars, reading up on your notes, I understand that your dad, or you say, your dad invented the people carrier.
00:44:02Yeah, he did.
00:44:03He did, doesn't get the credit he deserves.
00:44:05Normally, I had a Ford Escort van, but obviously four kids, so it's difficult transporting kids in a Ford Escort van.
00:44:13So what he did, he cut the side panels out the side, and put glass in the van, and then took the rear seat of a car like this, and put that in the back.
00:44:23So my mum and dad would sit in the front, and then us, three of us were able to sit on the seat in the back of the van, with glass, no windows, just sheets of glass on the side.
00:44:33I mean, this was the 70s, where, you know, there was no seat belts, if you fell out of your own fault.
00:44:39No, I can, I can remember being transported to school, and I was a kid, and it was just this, just, there's room for another one in here, and it was a Moscovich, I remember that, there was a local newsagent, took me to school every morning, in a Russian car.
00:44:51No, no, my dad had a Moscovich.
00:44:54Derek Atkins, he was called, he had a newsagent in Skello.
00:44:56My dad's Derek Atkins, no.
00:44:58No, my dad had a Russian Moscovich.
00:45:03I got, I was banned from it, because I broke what I thought was the biggest technical advancement ever, which was the lighter.
00:45:11It must have been about eight, thinking, that's not really hot, because I've seen him lighting a cigarette, and I was thinking...
00:45:21I bit at the end of my tongue, and I remember my dad coming, I was crying, and his lighter was broke, and I went...
00:45:29So you broke his lighter, and that's...
00:45:31I broke his lighter, yeah.
00:45:33Oh, bless, so there we are, that Moscovich, it sounds like a trip down Northern Memory Lane, this does.
00:45:38Um, so anyway, look, you came here, obviously, to see how fast he could get round our track.
00:45:44Mm-hmm.
00:45:45You're the first guest we've had to be trained by the new stick, is he good, is he nice, is he pleasant?
00:45:49Well, I don't know what to compare him to, but he was, yeah, he was like, yeah, yeah.
00:45:52He was only a month old.
00:45:53Has he got like this?
00:45:54Yeah, yeah.
00:45:55He was, he, he, what's odd about it, is I was expecting to get him, and he was to say, yeah, I'm Kev, or something like that, you know, stick.
00:46:04It's a proper secret, you put him in a box.
00:46:06Yeah, no, that was actually good.
00:46:07After what happened last time, is you get into a gimp boss, and go, no, you can't do it.
00:46:12You're not coming out, it's the job you signed off for, you live your dream, son.
00:46:16Yeah, there was, we're not teaching this one how to read and write.
00:46:20Well, who'd like to see John's lap?
00:46:22Anybody?
00:46:23Yeah!
00:46:24Come on, then, let's have a look.
00:46:25Look at it, gleaming in the sunshine.
00:46:28Hey, come on, come on.
00:46:32Come on, then.
00:46:35Right, nice ensemble of sunglasses and visor there.
00:46:39Now, let's have a look at that line through there.
00:46:43Yep, that's not looking too shabby.
00:46:46Whoa, son!
00:46:48Yeah, now, top two, what, no, that's nicely done.
00:46:54Get along with that, stingy boy!
00:46:58You can take the man out of Liverpool.
00:47:01Right, do you keep it between the lines here?
00:47:03It's a look, you're absolutely bang on.
00:47:05What is it, it looks very nice going around there today.
00:47:10Come on, I go for it.
00:47:14It's out through here.
00:47:15Yeah.
00:47:16Good man.
00:47:17Flat out through the tyres as well.
00:47:19Yeah.
00:47:21Yep.
00:47:22It's looking nice, ooh, I say, that's fantastic.
00:47:25Right, second to last corner, this is where most guests get it wrong.
00:47:29But no.
00:47:31And there we in to Gambon.
00:47:33Gambon.
00:47:34Round there.
00:47:35And there we are, everyone, across the line!
00:47:44I'm happy with that.
00:47:45You're happy with that?
00:47:46Yeah, yeah, well, I mean, they obviously didn't see the fives that I rose off before.
00:47:51So where do you think you came on our board?
00:47:55Perfect day today, I have to say.
00:47:57It is up there.
00:47:58Well, Tom Cruise, Cameron.
00:47:59Well, Tom Cruise is the fastest, and then Cameron Diaz.
00:48:03Well, I've always wanted to be on top of it, so.
00:48:07If that could happen, that would be a dream come true, but eh.
00:48:11So, Cameron Diaz, so get on top of her, you go faster, 1.45, 2.
00:48:15I can't see that.
00:48:17You did it.
00:48:21John Bishop.
00:48:221 minute.
00:48:2340.
00:48:242.
00:48:251 minute.
00:48:2640.
00:48:272.
00:48:281.
00:48:291, 1.
00:48:302.
00:48:313.
00:48:321, 2.
00:48:331, 2.
00:48:39That is it.
00:48:41That's put an Englishman back on top.
00:48:43Right here!
00:48:49That's bizarrely fast.
00:48:51That is bizarrely fast now.
00:48:53There's much to talk about there.
00:48:55I'm loving that.
00:48:57Well, I mean, honestly, because that's so much faster than anybody else has ever driven that car.
00:49:02Tom Cruise, my ass.
00:49:05Days of thunder, right here.
00:49:07This is really, I mean, are you sporty?
00:49:09I mean, how's, where's it come from?
00:49:11No, honestly, I've not, I've not done anything.
00:49:13And I'm not a mad car person, but I'm looking.
00:49:16Well, you are.
00:49:17Well, I am from now on, to be honest with you.
00:49:20I mean, realistically, where does a man from Liverpool learn to drive that far in somebody else's car?
00:49:30No idea.
00:49:32That's just genetics, that, isn't it?
00:49:34It is.
00:49:35Genetically, you're just programmed.
00:49:37I mean, it really is an absolutely blitzing time.
00:49:40Well, that's it.
00:49:41Give it all down to the new stick.
00:49:43And that is two lap records in one day, which is unbelievable.
00:49:47But, ladies and gentlemen, the fastest man we've ever had round our track.
00:49:51John Bishop.
00:49:59Now, I was accused recently of talking too often and too enthusiastically about the Porsche 911.
00:50:15In fact, whenever I mention it now, Jeremy sticks his fingers in his ears and hums songs about Hitler.
00:50:21And to make matters worse, the producers agree.
00:50:24They say that the 911's just a VW Beetle with a spoiler.
00:50:27Well, I'd had enough, and I decided to prove them all wrong.
00:50:31I think the sports car that's changed and evolved the most over time is this.
00:50:45Now, if you know cars, I think I know what you'll be thinking.
00:50:49You'll be thinking, nonsense.
00:50:52It's not changed one bit.
00:50:55The only thing to change in a thousand years is the price.
00:50:58But you're all wrong.
00:51:00Because the 911 is a long, long, long way from its earliest ancestor.
00:51:05Of course, I admit that if you spool back through the 911's 70-year family tree, you do end up at the Beetle.
00:51:19Which was, of course, designed by Ferdinand Porsche.
00:51:22I also admit that when it comes to looks, there hasn't been much of a revolution.
00:51:29Very little has happened to the shape.
00:51:32And, of course, the engine has remained stubbornly at the back.
00:51:37But to say the current 911 is therefore just a glorified Beetle is nonsense.
00:51:43One is a wretched, awful, miserable, spluttering, puttering, slow, noisy, ugly piece of hateful misery
00:51:53and the worst attempt at a people's car the world has ever suffered.
00:51:56But from it evolved this.
00:51:58The acknowledged finest driver's car.
00:52:00An ultimate automotive precision tool that mankind has ever created.
00:52:04And this is my point.
00:52:06The difference between these two is like the difference between an ape and a brain surgeon.
00:52:10Or Jeremy and a brain surgeon.
00:52:13Take the one we have here.
00:52:19The 911 Turbo S Cabriolet.
00:52:25Perfect day for a drop-top 911.
00:52:28This was a good call.
00:52:29I just happened to be wearing the hat and coat anyway, so I left them on.
00:52:32This 911 costs £131,000, which is a lot.
00:52:39But for that, you get just about every conceivable gizmo.
00:52:43It's possible for Porsche to cram into a 911 right now.
00:52:47So, it's got four-wheel drive.
00:52:51It's got a seven-speed double-clutch flappy paddle gearbox.
00:52:55It's got active engine mans that are supposed to improve the handling.
00:52:59It's got ceramic brakes.
00:53:00The engine 3.8-litre flat six has got twin variable geometry turbos and a top speed of 196 miles an hour.
00:53:08It isn't my favourite 911.
00:53:12It's too complicated for my taste.
00:53:14And a bit cold.
00:53:16And that's why I volunteered to get out of it and into the Beetle for a drag race.
00:53:25523 brake horsepower against 50.
00:53:31That was when it was new.
00:53:35Two turbos versus four decades of decay.
00:53:38Now, okay, it is pretty certain that the Beetle will lose.
00:53:45But by how much that is the cheap laugh.
00:53:49The important anthropological point we're after.
00:53:523, 2, 1, go!
00:53:56We're off.
00:53:57It's just...
00:54:02Yeah.
00:54:0540.
00:54:1041.
00:54:1815.
00:54:2750
00:54:33i thought at this point that my case was made but the producers insisted that with one tiny tweak
00:54:41the beetle could be made to go just as fast as its turbocharged disseminate
00:54:49so i was shipped out to a vast salt flat in south africa
00:54:52where another porsche turbo convertible and another awful beetle had been lined up
00:55:01along with a man with a flag so here we are and i think i know where you think i think i know this
00:55:09is going you're thinking the beetle now has a twin turbo v8 engine in the back but no same miserable
00:55:17configuration as always no the producers reckoned that all the beetle would need to win a drag race
00:55:26with the porsche was a bit more gravity
00:55:32let me explain the helicopter is going to suspend our beetle exactly a mile above the finish line here
00:55:42at the start of the race the helicopter will release the beetle and it will begin its race
00:55:48towards the chequered flag at the same time i will unleash the portion from a mile away in this
00:55:53direction and the race will be on best predictions at the moment the portion will complete the mile
00:55:59in 37 seconds the beetle somewhere between 36 and 40 seconds the math which was done entirely by me
00:56:08and not at all by the doctor of aerodynamic and automotive sciences at loughborough university state
00:56:12that this really should be very close indeed the porsche can hit 62 miles an hour in 3.7 seconds
00:56:20the one problem we do have is wind
00:56:24anyway take my word for it it's going to be close
00:56:29it was time to take our positions
00:56:38i don't think i've ever been so worried about wind speeds before just a five knot breeze could alter
00:56:44where the beetle will land by half a kilometer and that's slightly scary hello what's the latest wind speed
00:56:59wind speed six knots
00:57:00we just want to do four thousand four feet
00:57:09i'm not exactly sure what use the crash helmet's going to be if you know if but it's a nice change
00:57:17soon the beetle was hovering one mile above the finish line
00:57:21lining up protocol
00:57:22one
00:57:23stabilised boat
00:57:27i'm ready
00:57:41we're off
00:57:46three seconds i should be doing 60 by now i'm at 45
00:57:50this surface does not react the same as tarmac
00:57:56seven seconds here he's doing 100 by now i'm doing 75
00:58:01with the porsche struggling to accelerate on the slippery salt flats
00:58:05the beetle was romping into the league
00:58:09look at him tumble
00:58:13i'm doing 100 miles an hour it's moving about on the salt it's a terrible surface
00:58:20but the porsche wasn't beaten yet because at 125 miles an hour the beetle reached terminal velocity
00:58:26and couldn't fall any faster whereas my speedo could keep climbing
00:58:33i've got to keep pushing through 125 for me we're matching speed
00:58:37it's rolling about all over the place
00:58:45140

00:59:0446
00:59:0446
00:59:0445
00:59:05fear
00:59:1455
00:59:14Beetle well, that's my life is over
00:59:21On the plus side I think the beetle looks in worse shape than the Porsche
00:59:44I wanted to make it best of three
00:59:51Never mind that, what we've learned from that film is that Porsche over the years has spent millions and millions of Reichsmarks
00:59:58Developing active ceramic geometry turbos, okay?
01:00:03And the finished product can be beaten by a Volkswagen Beetle that is propelled only by gravity
01:00:09Yeah, well, there's an all new 911 now later this year
01:00:11It won't be new
01:00:12Well, it will
01:00:13Listen, I told you not to bring somebody from Liverpool on this show
01:00:17Why?
01:00:20Oh my god
01:00:21And on that bombshell, it is time to end
01:00:29Thank you so much for watching, see you next week, goodnight
01:00:32The return of Being Human next tonight on BBC HD, stay with us
01:00:42And later on tonight, Bruce Parry's getting his hands very dirty in the fishing fleet in the Arctic
01:00:46That's at 10
01:00:48That's at 10
