0:00:21 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE

0:00:24 > 0:00:28Hello! Hello, and welcome to Top Gear.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30It's the last episode of the series.

0:00:30 > 0:00:31But don't worry,

0:00:31 > 0:00:34because we are really pushing the boat out for this one.

0:00:34 > 0:00:37Literally. We made a boat and we pushed it out.

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Into the sea. Really!

0:00:39 > 0:00:41But that's a little later in the show.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42First, a question -

0:00:42 > 0:00:47£50,000, a two-seat sports car - what do you go for?

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Tell 'em, Chris.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Well, unless you were completely mad, traditionally, you'd always

0:00:51 > 0:00:53have gone for this -

0:00:53 > 0:00:55the Porsche Cayman, the model sports car.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Pretty much un-improvable.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00But now there's a new Cayman,

0:01:00 > 0:01:03and Porsche says it's even better than before.

0:01:11 > 0:01:12Here it is.

0:01:14 > 0:01:15It still looks like a Cayman,

0:01:15 > 0:01:18but one that's been drawn with sharper pencils.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22It still has the engine in the middle...

0:01:23 > 0:01:25..power at the rear...

0:01:25 > 0:01:27and it still costs about £50,000.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35It's the same story inside, where, thankfully,

0:01:35 > 0:01:39Porsche hasn't messed with all the things we liked about the old car.

0:01:40 > 0:01:44I've still got three pedals, and this lovely,

0:01:44 > 0:01:47wiggly, wand-like thing to change gear.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49But if you delve deeper...

0:01:49 > 0:01:52you'll find a million teeny-tiny upgrades.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59For starters, the Cayman's big brother - the 911 -

0:01:59 > 0:02:01has given up its steering and brakes.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08The lower rear suspension arms are from the last generation Cayman GT4.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12The anti-roll bars are larger diameter all around.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14The front springs are now variable rate.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18The rear tyres, well, they are 12mm wider.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Much of which is not interesting.

0:02:23 > 0:02:26What is interesting is more horsepower.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29The Cayman S now has 345 of them.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35This car will do 0-60mph in a sneeze over four seconds.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41And it won't stop accelerating until you hit 177mph.

0:02:43 > 0:02:44Braking!

0:02:53 > 0:02:56And that extra horsepower also means something else.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58If there was a fault with the old Cayman,

0:02:58 > 0:03:02it's that it didn't have quite enough power to explore the limits

0:03:02 > 0:03:04of that lovely, mid-engine chassis.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07This new one, however...

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Oh, yes!

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Yes, yes, yes!

0:03:30 > 0:03:32I could do that all day long.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38The trouble is, I'm not enjoying this as much as I should do.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Allow me to explain.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48That there is the old Cayman S.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52Six cylinder, normally aspirated engine, and it sounds like...

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Well, judge for yourself.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56ENGINE ROARS

0:04:02 > 0:04:05That is engine sound perfection.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09If you asked Daft Punk to create intake noise, it'd sound like that.

0:04:11 > 0:04:15But for this new Cayman, Porsche ditched the lovely old

0:04:15 > 0:04:18six-cylinder engine for a new, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20And it sounds like...

0:04:20 > 0:04:23SUBDUED ROAR

0:04:23 > 0:04:24..an old Beetle.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28This is a big deal.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Because, I'm sorry,

0:04:30 > 0:04:34but the way a sports car sounds is a huge part of its personality.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36It's the same as humans. Voices matter.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40I mean, take, say, Rod Stewart and put him on mute,

0:04:40 > 0:04:43and he's just a Scottish bloke with ladies' hair.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48And the reason for this vocal transplant?

0:04:48 > 0:04:50The Cayman needed a smaller turbo engine

0:04:50 > 0:04:52to pass the latest emissions exams.

0:04:53 > 0:04:54Yep.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58Forget sound and soul. These days, apparently what's important

0:04:58 > 0:05:05is that this car will officially emit 184g of CO2 per kilometre.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09But let me show you how you must drive to achieve those 184 CO2s

0:05:09 > 0:05:13using this rather elegant piece of equipment behind me

0:05:13 > 0:05:15and some very clever men over there.

0:05:15 > 0:05:16Here we go.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21- OVER RADIO:- 'Right, so, Chris, to get the best mpg, lowest CO2,

0:05:21 > 0:05:22'build up the speed gently.'

0:05:24 > 0:05:26'Lovely, lovely and sedate.'

0:05:27 > 0:05:29No, no, no.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32'Don't overdo it, that's probably a little too fast.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34'You can back it off slightly more, I'd say.'

0:05:36 > 0:05:39BIKE BELL RINGS

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Boring.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42Boring, boring.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44CO2, boring.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48After a few more tedious minutes,

0:05:48 > 0:05:51I pulled over to find out my exam results.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52OK, boss, how was that?

0:05:52 > 0:05:56That was 184g per kilometre of CO2.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59About 35 miles per gallon.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06OK. The reality is that, in the real world,

0:06:06 > 0:06:09if you drive like a normal person with feet,

0:06:09 > 0:06:14no car comes close to matching its official emissions figures.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16And turbo engines are the worst offenders.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20In fact, in the hands of any of us lot,

0:06:20 > 0:06:24I doubt this engine's any more efficient than the one it replaced.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28It is a real shame.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30The old Cayman wasn't broken,

0:06:30 > 0:06:33but Porsche has been forced to fix it anyway.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35Now we've got this different personality.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38And I have to say, I just don't like it as much as it was before.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43So the big question now is, if you're after

0:06:43 > 0:06:47a two-seat sports car for about 50 grand, what's the alternative?

0:06:49 > 0:06:51The Alpha 4C.

0:06:51 > 0:06:52Look at that.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Carbon fibre tub, Italian styling.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Build quality of a Glastonbury tent.

0:06:56 > 0:06:57Go away.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Ah, the Jaguar F-Type.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02But, of course, you want the supercharged V8 one,

0:07:02 > 0:07:05and that's 90 grand, so, I'm afraid, disqualified.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07The Lotus Exige.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Perfect, should you happen to live at a racing circuit.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Which, of course, you don't.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14Ooh, the Audi TT RS.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18400 horsepower, five-cylinder turbo-charged engine.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21And lashings of understeer.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22And that really is your lot.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Which leaves us, well, pretty much back where we started.

0:07:31 > 0:07:36If you've got 50 grand to spend on a new sports car, you should buy...

0:07:36 > 0:07:38a new Cayman.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Even a mildly ruined Cayman is still better than the rest.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43You might want a pair of these though.

0:07:45 > 0:07:46HE MOUTHS

0:07:56 > 0:07:58APPLAUSE

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Great, nice job.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Nice job. OK, so...

0:08:04 > 0:08:09So, they made it more powerful, they made faster,

0:08:09 > 0:08:13they made it cheaper to tax, all for the same price, and you

0:08:13 > 0:08:16don't like it because it doesn't sound quite as good as the old car?

0:08:16 > 0:08:21Do think that maybe, just maybe, you're being...

0:08:21 > 0:08:23slightly oversensitive?

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- I'm really not. Sound is so important.- Mm-hm.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29This car, six-cylinder engine, it's just musical,

0:08:29 > 0:08:33it's the heart of the car. And the intake noise - fantastic.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37This new version, turbocharger, no intake noise, four cylinders -

0:08:37 > 0:08:38it sounds...

0:08:38 > 0:08:41- parpy. - LAUGHTER

0:08:41 > 0:08:42Oh.

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Nice.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47You don't get a lot of parpy these days.

0:08:47 > 0:08:48OK, one more thing.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52I noticed in the film that you called this the Porsche Cayman.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53Yeah.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55But it isn't, is it?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58This is the Porsche 718 Cayman.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00I refuse to acknowledge that badge.

0:09:00 > 0:09:01What?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03You can't refuse to acknowledge it.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05It's right there on the back of the car.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09And it's pedigree - the 718 was a Porsche racer from the '50s, right?

0:09:09 > 0:09:13This is Porsche exploiting its wonderful motorsport history

0:09:13 > 0:09:16for the sake of a badge on a modern car. It's terrible!

0:09:16 > 0:09:17Are you done?

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- No, we can... - Can you try to be done?

0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Look... - Let's pretend you're done. OK.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26It's time to find out how quick the new 718 goes around our test track.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28And you know what that means. It's time for...

0:09:28 > 0:09:30The Stig.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33Off the line.

0:09:33 > 0:09:34Looks like a Porsche, sounds like a,

0:09:34 > 0:09:36well, it sounds like a Subaru, doesn't it?

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Down there to the first corner. Let's have a look at this,

0:09:39 > 0:09:41cos the chassis is great, the Cayman's so well-balanced.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43He carries great speed in, very little understeer,

0:09:43 > 0:09:45using all the track as usual.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49And the braking stability into Chicago, just fantastic.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50And he'll hold a tight line, will he?

0:09:50 > 0:09:52He let it run out a bit, but again

0:09:52 > 0:09:54you can tell he's got power to play with.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55345 horsepower.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58The amazing thing is, it's a smaller-capacity engine -

0:09:58 > 0:10:02the turbocharger has 37 foot-pounds of torque more than the old Cayman.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04So it's now a monster.

0:10:04 > 0:10:09Braking well again. Doesn't it look stable? It's flat, crisp.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11A tight line. Let it run out now.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Look at that - just controlled, relaxed.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17Heading now down towards the follow-through.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19It's really fast. Again, competent.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22And doesn't it sound absolutely terrible?

0:10:22 > 0:10:23Can you hear it?

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Braking into second to last.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Now, heading - ooh, using all the track there, aggressive -

0:10:33 > 0:10:36over Gambon, and a very impressive, terrible-sounding lap.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40APPLAUSE

0:10:43 > 0:10:45OK.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49And the Porsche 718 Cayman S went around

0:10:49 > 0:10:52in 1:21.6.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55That is seriously respectable.

0:10:55 > 0:11:00That's the exact same time as the Jaguar V8 F-Type.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03APPLAUSE

0:11:03 > 0:11:06And the Jaguar V8 F-Type costs nearly twice as much.

0:11:06 > 0:11:10- Yeah, and it sounds twice as good too...- Look, you're done.

0:11:10 > 0:11:11Rory!

0:11:11 > 0:11:12I'm just going to say it -

0:11:12 > 0:11:15you know what other sports car you can have for £50,000?

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Ford Mustang, the one with the V8.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Can't argue with the way that sounds.- No, you can't, no.

0:11:20 > 0:11:23All right, now it's time to welcome this week's guest.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25He's got a lot of platinum discs,

0:11:25 > 0:11:29he's got a lot of cars and he's got a lot of...hats.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Please welcome Jay Kay.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33APPLAUSE

0:11:43 > 0:11:44I'm so pleased!

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Thank you.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49All right, awesome.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50Awesome.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53So what did you drive down in today?

0:11:53 > 0:11:54I flew in, actually.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59I flew in. I avoided the traffic, so I flew in a R66.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Helicopter? - Yep. Get over the M25, easy.

0:12:02 > 0:12:0420 minutes. Job done.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07You're like a rock star. I love it!

0:12:07 > 0:12:08That's what they say.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10LAUGHTER

0:12:10 > 0:12:13- How many cars in your collection nowadays?- Erm, well,

0:12:13 > 0:12:15I'm sort of trying to slim it down.

0:12:15 > 0:12:16I mean, it's too many, really.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19- But it's over 50. - AUDIENCE GASPS

0:12:19 > 0:12:20But the amazing thing is,

0:12:20 > 0:12:24people know that Jay's got some top-end stuff. Enzo and other stuff.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27But what I love is that you have the same affliction as me.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31You can't help but love German tat.

0:12:31 > 0:12:35Yeah, there's just some old M3s, E30s. There's an old Rover P6.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36- MAN IN AUDIENCE:- Wahey!

0:12:36 > 0:12:39It's got... I heard a wahey there. Look at that.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42See, Rover P6, 13,000 miles.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45I just love old things that, you know, when you were a kid,

0:12:45 > 0:12:49you used to see on the road, you know... How can you go wrong?

0:12:49 > 0:12:51- We know you love your exotic, Italian stuff.- Yeah.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52You're a fan of those.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55And your current car that you drive the most is Italian.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58But it's not exactly exotic, is it?

0:12:58 > 0:12:59Yeah, I have a Fiat Doblo as well.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02- A Doblo.- Yeah. - We've got a picture of it.

0:13:02 > 0:13:03LAUGHTER

0:13:03 > 0:13:05That is it. That's my Doblo.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Just a quick question, you could have bought a Bentley Bentayga,

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- a Range Rover...- Well... - ..and you've gone for a Doblo.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14You wouldn't catch me dead in a Bentley Bentayga.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18Yeah, but the Doblo is reliable, it always starts.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20It's light clutch, light gearbox.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23It's light steering, you can get stuff in it.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25You can get wood in it, you can get the dog in it.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26It's great and it works.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28And you know what the funny thing is?

0:13:28 > 0:13:31You go to Italy and you go up the mountains in Italy, you know,

0:13:31 > 0:13:35up the northern mountains, you'll still see Panda 4x4s.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38I could never work out what was the point of a Panda 4x4,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40and then you suddenly realise, you're up there in the winter,

0:13:40 > 0:13:43and that is the only thing that will go up those Alpine passes.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45- True, true. - With goats in the back, you know?

0:13:45 > 0:13:48I want to veer off of cars for just a second.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50- Because you have a new album out, Automaton.- Yeah.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- How it's it doing? - Well, I hear, down the grapevine,

0:13:53 > 0:13:57that it's at number one worldwide, actually.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Aha, that's what I hear!

0:13:59 > 0:14:00APPLAUSE

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Which isn't bad for an old mucker like me, you know?

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Now, normally we wouldn't play a music video,

0:14:08 > 0:14:11but we wanted everyone to see the new single, Cloud 9.

0:14:11 > 0:14:12Let's take a look.

0:14:15 > 0:14:21# Only a fool could walk away from me this time

0:14:23 > 0:14:29# I look up to heaven and the starry sea is mine

0:14:31 > 0:14:37# Only a fool could walk away from me this time

0:14:40 > 0:14:45# I'm walking on air and every cloud is cloud nine... #

0:14:50 > 0:14:52APPLAUSE

0:14:52 > 0:14:54Right, right, right - wait there.

0:14:55 > 0:14:56Oh, dear.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59There is a template here, isn't there?

0:14:59 > 0:15:01There's a template for the Jamiroquai video...

0:15:01 > 0:15:03People of my generation. So, basically, there's two,

0:15:03 > 0:15:06at least two, super-sexy cars.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09There's an attractive lady

0:15:09 > 0:15:12and then there's bit of jigging goes on. Is that...?

0:15:12 > 0:15:15Yeah, I tell you what, because we thought about this,

0:15:15 > 0:15:18and we thought, you know, everybody said, "Oh, cars, video..."

0:15:18 > 0:15:22I mean, and then we thought, well, Cosmic Girl was 1997,

0:15:22 > 0:15:25so it's 20 years ago, you know?

0:15:25 > 0:15:27But it was quite nice, because we went back to Cabo de Gata,

0:15:27 > 0:15:30where we'd filmed the original. So that was the kind of thing.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33So people who'd seen the first one, to go back there...

0:15:33 > 0:15:35You talked about Cosmic Girl,

0:15:35 > 0:15:39and that was a benchmark video, I think, for a generation.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42Because it showed super-sexy cars, dynamic driving...

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Look at this.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45There is a story behind that.

0:15:45 > 0:15:47It wasn't quite as straightforward...

0:15:47 > 0:15:49No, it wasn't.

0:15:49 > 0:15:55They made three of those special edition 30th-anniversary Diablos.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57And one was a Jota, so it was a 600-brake car

0:15:57 > 0:16:00that was not really road legal, so there were only two.

0:16:00 > 0:16:02So I had mine in storage,

0:16:02 > 0:16:06and the guy went to stick it on the car transporter.

0:16:06 > 0:16:10And then I got word that he'd just totalled this car.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11- AUDIENCE GROANS - There it is.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15And we kind of had to have a purple one, because it was the purple,

0:16:15 > 0:16:18- the cosmic, you know, it's just one of those things.- Sure, yeah.

0:16:18 > 0:16:19So we got the other one.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22And I said, "Look, wait till I get there, I'm flying in,

0:16:22 > 0:16:24"just nobody drive it till I get there, please?

0:16:24 > 0:16:26"We can't afford to smash it."

0:16:26 > 0:16:30So I came off the plane, and everybody looked really downtrodden,

0:16:30 > 0:16:32was looking at the floor...

0:16:32 > 0:16:37And I went, "Why are you looking so sad?"

0:16:37 > 0:16:39And they said, "Unfortunately,

0:16:39 > 0:16:44"one of the precision drivers has knocked the camera off the cliff

0:16:44 > 0:16:48"and taken out the front windscreen. So there's no windscreen.

0:16:48 > 0:16:52"Lamborghini can't send one for another day or so."

0:16:52 > 0:16:56So, for most of the video, it had to be done with no windscreen.

0:16:56 > 0:16:58So that's why you see me squinting.

0:16:58 > 0:17:00And actually trying to sing the song as well

0:17:00 > 0:17:02while driving the mountain road. Yeah.

0:17:02 > 0:17:06- We've got a clip now of Cosmic Girl. Bring back some memories.- Yeah.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10# She's just a cosmic girl... #

0:17:10 > 0:17:15So now I understand why your hair is flopping about!

0:17:15 > 0:17:17You've quite clearly got no windscreen!

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Yep, there is no windscreen there. Yeah.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23I loved that car as well. I really loved that car.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26It was a real meaty, you know, proper, old Lamborghini.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28They're quite different to what they are now.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30Now that Audi have taken them over, it's a different ballgame.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32That was quite a handful, but it made a great noise.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35That's why we stuck it on the front of Travelling Without Moving.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37- OK, let's get down to business. - Yeah.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Now, you're a veteran down here. You've been around...

0:17:40 > 0:17:44I've been coming down here since William Woollard was running it.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47You've been around in the Liana, you've been around in the Lacetti...

0:17:47 > 0:17:49That was a beautiful car, the Liana.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51You were fastest in the Lacetti, I think, right?

0:17:51 > 0:17:52Yeah, that's right, yeah.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55OK, so now you're going to go around in the GT86.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56How'd the training go with Chris?

0:17:56 > 0:18:00Yeah, I mean, you know, Chris's masterclass...

0:18:00 > 0:18:01So, it was...

0:18:01 > 0:18:06The car's obviously a lot better than before.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08It pleases me to actually come on with something

0:18:08 > 0:18:11that's at least two litre, that you can get something out of.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13And quite a nippy little thing, you know.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15- All right, let's take a look. - Yeah, OK.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19- Jay?- Yes.- Last show of the series. - Got it.- You've got form here.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21Yes, I have got form.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23We've got a target.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Sir Chris Hoy, 1:35.4.

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Sir Chris Hoy. Pedal to the metal. - Yeah.

0:18:28 > 0:18:29- Let's go.- Are we ready?- Yeah.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37I like it, I like it. Power now, power, power, power.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Good work - we're not that far off Mr Hoy at the moment now.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44Sorry, Sir Hoy.

0:18:44 > 0:18:45Sir Chris!

0:18:45 > 0:18:46Right, third gear.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Come on, I need you to push a bit harder, Jay,

0:18:50 > 0:18:51we're bit behind Chris here.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54- LUVVIE VOICE:- Okey dokey, pushing hard, darling, pushing hard.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Push it hard. Third gear.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59Oh-ho-ho!

0:18:59 > 0:19:01Right on the edge. Fourth gear.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05I'm not going to look at this bit,

0:19:05 > 0:19:08because you're going so quick through here it scares me.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09- BLEEP- hell, Jay!

0:19:11 > 0:19:13From the 100, brake and turn.

0:19:13 > 0:19:14- Brake, turn, now.- Turn, turn.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Oh, we could be off here, we could be off here.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26And back on! Oh, nearly back on.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32I nearly got it back on.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34LAUGHTER

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Nice day for it.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38APPLAUSE

0:19:40 > 0:19:41Hey-hey!

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Whoo!

0:19:43 > 0:19:45Nice, nice.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Nice one, nice one. - I mean, I wasn't trying.

0:19:48 > 0:19:50- LAUGHTER - I wasn't trying.

0:19:50 > 0:19:51Definitely, definitely.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54We thought we'd actually come out the right way, just carry on.

0:19:54 > 0:19:56Nothing happened, you didn't see that.

0:19:56 > 0:19:58A definite change of underwear, definitely.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Around once, around twice... - Yeah, lovely, yeah.

0:20:00 > 0:20:03What do you think, Chris? Do you think he's got a shot at the title?

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Yeah, committed. You only have offs like that

0:20:05 > 0:20:07if you're really, really trying round here.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09People don't know how unforgiving the circuit is.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12If you get it half a foot wrong there, you're straight off.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14So he's going to be quick.

0:20:14 > 0:20:16- We'll see how you did just a little bit later in the show.- OK, cool.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19Right now, I want to talk about 4x4s.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21See, if you want an upmarket, family SUV,

0:20:21 > 0:20:23right now, you've got a lot of options.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27You could have a Range Rover, you could have an Audi Q7,

0:20:27 > 0:20:28you could have a Merc GLS.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31But they're all so...mainstream.

0:20:31 > 0:20:33Thankfully, there is another option,

0:20:33 > 0:20:35and it comes...from Russia.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40This is the Avtoros Shaman,

0:20:40 > 0:20:42and it is big.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Really big.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48HE WHISTLES

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Straight away, you can see it has eight wheels,

0:20:50 > 0:20:53which is the same as two Range Rovers.

0:20:53 > 0:20:58But it costs £88,000, about the same as just one Range Rover.

0:20:58 > 0:21:02So, on a pound-per-axle basis, the Shaman is a steal.

0:21:07 > 0:21:11And back here, you get seating for...

0:21:11 > 0:21:13everyone you've ever met.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16And there's an escape hatch, in case of an emergency.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Like if Uncle Phil had the egg salad for lunch.

0:21:21 > 0:21:23HE BREATHES IN Oh!

0:21:26 > 0:21:28And there's a central driving position.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Just like the McLaren F1.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33And the similarities to the F1 don't end there.

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Like the F1, the Shaman also has...

0:21:35 > 0:21:37a...

0:21:37 > 0:21:38erm...

0:21:38 > 0:21:40steering wheel!

0:21:40 > 0:21:42OK. Here we go.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Now, like all the best modern SUVs,

0:21:47 > 0:21:50the Shaman is right at home in the centre of town.

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Whether it's the school run or popping out for groceries

0:21:53 > 0:21:55or nipping to the pub for a quick game of darts,

0:21:55 > 0:21:57the Shaman will do it all.

0:21:58 > 0:21:59Oh boy, this is tight.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03But like all the best modern SUVs

0:22:03 > 0:22:06it's even better suited to the open road.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16OK, it's not exactly supersonic.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18The Shaman will do 0-60 in...

0:22:20 > 0:22:22..never.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24With its sensible three-litre diesel,

0:22:24 > 0:22:28it has a whopping top speed of 44mph.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30And that's a good thing.

0:22:30 > 0:22:33It encourages you to relax.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35To...

0:22:35 > 0:22:37watch the world go by.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41And it's just as sensible on the inside.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44You've got a sat nav from the '90s.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46Some temperature controls from the '80s.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48You've got a speedometer and a rev counter

0:22:48 > 0:22:51which are basically irrelevant.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53And that's pretty much it.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Elegant simplicity.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Oh, what's that guy doing?

0:22:58 > 0:22:59That doesn't look good.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03Oh, looks like you're in a jam.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05HE CACKLES

0:23:05 > 0:23:08Should be able to get you out of there. Let me pull up a little.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09He smells like whisky.

0:23:11 > 0:23:14OK, not what I had in mind, but let's talk towing.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Now, according to the Caravan Club,

0:23:16 > 0:23:19the choice SUV is the BMW X5.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22But that only pulls 3.5 tonnes.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25The Shaman will tow 12.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28So if you've got a local moon that's out of alignment,

0:23:28 > 0:23:30the Shaman will set it straight.

0:23:30 > 0:23:31Sweet!

0:23:31 > 0:23:32Thank you!

0:23:33 > 0:23:35Right, back to business.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Next up, fuel economy.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40I know what you're thinking - that thing looks thirsty.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42Well, it is.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45It gets about 11 miles to the gallon. And it makes you wonder,

0:23:45 > 0:23:48am I going to have to refuel it every single day?

0:23:48 > 0:23:53Well, no, you're not, because the Shaman holds 260 litres of diesel.

0:23:53 > 0:23:55It's a supertanker.

0:23:55 > 0:23:56So realistically,

0:23:56 > 0:23:59you're only going to have to refuel it about every other day.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05Oh, wait - is that a flare?

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Anyone else around to help them?

0:24:17 > 0:24:18Just me then, huh?

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Ah, OK.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Right, well, this is a waste of time.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27Modern SUV drivers don't even go off-road.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31But since I'm apparently the only one who can help,

0:24:31 > 0:24:34we might as well cover all-terrain ability.

0:24:34 > 0:24:37Ground clearance, half a metre.

0:24:37 > 0:24:38Half a metre!

0:24:40 > 0:24:42And these giant tyres may look destructive,

0:24:42 > 0:24:46but their huge surface area means they tread lightly over the terrain.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49Snowshoes, not stilettos.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53And if you factor in its eight-wheel drive with independent steering,

0:24:53 > 0:24:56you can approach any off-road excursion with confidence.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I can't wait to see the looks on their faces

0:24:59 > 0:25:01when they see this thing coming.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Hi.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15You're, erm...

0:25:17 > 0:25:18You're naked.

0:25:18 > 0:25:19We're naked ramblers.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22We're lost!

0:25:22 > 0:25:26- Well, do you need a ride?- Oh, yes.

0:25:26 > 0:25:27OK, come on. Let's...

0:25:29 > 0:25:31Let's go.

0:25:36 > 0:25:37Up you go.

0:25:40 > 0:25:41Ooh.

0:25:41 > 0:25:42OK.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46All... OK.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50All righty. Wow. That's a lot for the eyes.

0:26:01 > 0:26:05Sure hope we don't crash. This would be a tricky one to explain.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07No need for hugs or anything. We're OK.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Well, there's an image that'll be stuck in my mind forever.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17OK, where were we?

0:26:17 > 0:26:19Ah, yes, let's talk refinement.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23Some might complain that, on the move,

0:26:23 > 0:26:27the Shaman isn't the quietest of SUVs on the market.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28ENGINE ROARS

0:26:28 > 0:26:30True.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33When you're up and running there is some engine noise

0:26:33 > 0:26:35and some road noise.

0:26:35 > 0:26:37But that's a good thing.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41Because, too often, the driving experience is interrupted by...

0:26:41 > 0:26:44Whoa, whoa, whoa!

0:26:44 > 0:26:45Looks like Lassie.

0:26:45 > 0:26:46BARKS

0:26:46 > 0:26:47Seriously?

0:26:47 > 0:26:48Lassie now?

0:26:51 > 0:26:52What's wrong?

0:26:53 > 0:26:55What's wrong?

0:26:55 > 0:26:57DOG WHINES

0:26:57 > 0:26:59What, little Timmy's stuck down a well?

0:26:59 > 0:27:01Again? WHINES

0:27:01 > 0:27:02OK.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05All right, show me the way, I'll follow you. Geez.

0:27:07 > 0:27:09OK, so, apparently,

0:27:09 > 0:27:12owning a Shaman does come with a few unwanted responsibilities.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Where the hell is this dog taking me?

0:27:16 > 0:27:19And what kind of shampoo does she use?

0:27:19 > 0:27:20She's so shiny.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Good girl, good girl.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31OK, we're going to get you outta here.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Put that rope around you.

0:27:33 > 0:27:34No, not around your neck, no.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36Yeah, around your waist, good.

0:27:36 > 0:27:37OK.

0:27:38 > 0:27:43This winch is capable of lifting 5.6 metric tonnes.

0:27:43 > 0:27:46That's the equivalent of about 200 little Timmys.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50Kids today.

0:27:50 > 0:27:52Doesn't he have an iPad?

0:27:52 > 0:27:53DOG BARKS

0:27:53 > 0:27:55Whoa, whoa!

0:27:55 > 0:27:56Lassie, language!

0:27:56 > 0:27:58WHINES

0:27:58 > 0:28:00We're all tired.

0:28:03 > 0:28:05All in all, though,

0:28:05 > 0:28:07having to take on the odd rescue mission is

0:28:07 > 0:28:12a small price to pay for a car that is just so rewarding.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15It's an SUV for the driver who cares about driving.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21The noise, the lack of unnecessary technology.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25It all connects you with what's really important.

0:28:25 > 0:28:26The mechanical experience.

0:28:28 > 0:28:30Really, I'm struggling to see a downside

0:28:30 > 0:28:32to this magnificent machine.

0:28:32 > 0:28:37So there you have it - Russia's answer to the modern SUV.

0:28:37 > 0:28:39And, honestly, I would definitely recommend it.

0:28:39 > 0:28:43Sure, a Mercedes GLS is a little quicker,

0:28:43 > 0:28:46and an Audi Q7 is slightly more refined,

0:28:46 > 0:28:48but the Shaman is practical,

0:28:48 > 0:28:50it's spacious...

0:28:50 > 0:28:52and...

0:28:52 > 0:28:53Oh, did I not mention?

0:28:56 > 0:28:57It swims.

0:29:01 > 0:29:04With all this saving people, maybe I could join the Avengers.

0:29:06 > 0:29:07I could be...

0:29:07 > 0:29:09The Shamanator.

0:29:11 > 0:29:13Yeah, I like it.

0:29:15 > 0:29:16Be there in a couple minutes.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Maybe 15.

0:29:20 > 0:29:21Maybe 20.

0:29:25 > 0:29:27APPLAUSE

0:29:28 > 0:29:31Now you're talking! This thing's massive!

0:29:31 > 0:29:32This...

0:29:32 > 0:29:34This is my kind of family SUV.

0:29:34 > 0:29:35Exactly. Why would you want a Range Rover

0:29:35 > 0:29:37when you could have one of these?

0:29:37 > 0:29:41I'm telling you, I can see literally no downsides to this car.

0:29:41 > 0:29:45No. Also, 88 grand. I mean, that is a lot of wheels for the money.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47Yeah, and way cheaper than a helicopter.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49I'm sorry, what, a helicopter?

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Yeah, that's how the Shaman is marketed -

0:29:51 > 0:29:54as a helicopter alternative.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55Think about it, OK?

0:29:55 > 0:29:58If you needed to get somewhere in the middle of nowhere,

0:29:58 > 0:30:03hundreds of miles from the nearest road - deepest, darkest Russia -

0:30:03 > 0:30:06it's basically this or a helicopter.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09You know how many naked ramblers you can fit in a helicopter?

0:30:09 > 0:30:13- No.- Yeah, neither do I. And I do not want to find out.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15Imagine the turbulence and the downdraught.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18All that naked skin flopping around. I don't... No, no.

0:30:18 > 0:30:19Chris!

0:30:19 > 0:30:22So what do you think? Trade in the helicopter, get one of those?

0:30:22 > 0:30:26I doubt it. I could do without the naked people in there.

0:30:26 > 0:30:29You know, it's funny, because the best Russian vehicle is the

0:30:29 > 0:30:31really old Kamaz with the really thin wheels?

0:30:31 > 0:30:33Almost looks like a loaf of bread?

0:30:33 > 0:30:36And everyone in Russia uses those. They go anywhere.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39And then they use the old eight-wheelers as well.

0:30:39 > 0:30:40Eight-wheel steering things.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42- It was fun to drive.- Yeah, yeah.

0:30:42 > 0:30:46OK, I'd like to show you a new family car from America. OK?

0:30:46 > 0:30:50It's made by Dodge and it's called the Demon. Let's take a look.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Nice.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54Look at that, that's a nice-looking car, right?

0:30:54 > 0:30:57Four seats, nice big trunk, or boot.

0:30:57 > 0:31:01Would you like to know how fast that car goes from 0-60mph?

0:31:01 > 0:31:05- You tell me, Matt.- 2.3 seconds.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08That is the fastest-accelerating car ever made.

0:31:08 > 0:31:13Faster than a 918 Spyder, faster than a LaFerrari...

0:31:13 > 0:31:14Faster than...everything.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16Until it gets to the first corner!

0:31:16 > 0:31:19LAUGHTER

0:31:19 > 0:31:21Exactly. OK, look, here's another picture.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24That is an official Dodge photograph.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26"I'm having trouble laying my power down."

0:31:26 > 0:31:29- Yeah, that is how you sell a car. Huh?- Look at that!

0:31:29 > 0:31:31OK, how much power does that thing have?

0:31:31 > 0:31:35OK, you're going to love this - it has 840 horsepower.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39- That's ridiculous. And that's a tuner car, surely?- No, no.

0:31:39 > 0:31:40No, no, no.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42In America, you can go into your local Dodge dealer

0:31:42 > 0:31:44and buy one of those bad boys.

0:31:44 > 0:31:46And you know the best part about the whole thing?

0:31:46 > 0:31:49If you put your foot all the way down and really stand on it,

0:31:49 > 0:31:52the front wheels will come off the ground.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54- The car does wheelies. - It's a funny car!

0:31:54 > 0:31:56How cool is that? Yeah, no, take a look. We have a clip.

0:31:56 > 0:32:00- GRUFF VOICEOVER: - 'You don't want the truth.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02'You can't handle the truth!'

0:32:02 > 0:32:04Come on!

0:32:04 > 0:32:05That's nuts!

0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Huh?- See the way the sidewall just creased on the tyre?

0:32:08 > 0:32:09That's unbelievable.

0:32:09 > 0:32:13OK, so just to recap, you've got McLaren pushing the boundaries of

0:32:13 > 0:32:18technology, using carbon fibre, aerodynamics - new language.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22And you've got Dodge saying, screw that, screw technology, we're

0:32:22 > 0:32:25just going to insert a big V8 engine and make it as sophisticated as...

0:32:25 > 0:32:27an anvil.

0:32:27 > 0:32:28That's right. What's your point?

0:32:28 > 0:32:31It's absolutely brilliant. All of it's brilliant! I love it.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34I know. We are totally driving that next series.

0:32:34 > 0:32:38OK, now, the Formula 1 season is back under way.

0:32:38 > 0:32:40But for the first time in over 30 years,

0:32:40 > 0:32:44F1 doesn't have a certain man running it - Bernie Ecclestone.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46See, at the start of this year,

0:32:46 > 0:32:49a company called Liberty Media took control of Formula 1.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53Since then, Bernie has stayed very quiet about the whole affair

0:32:53 > 0:32:55and the honorary title Liberty gave him.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58But a couple of weeks ago, Bernie got in touch,

0:32:58 > 0:33:00asking if we'd like to have a little chat.

0:33:00 > 0:33:02And you don't say no to Bernie, so we didn't.

0:33:02 > 0:33:05And he also said that he'd only talk to one guy -

0:33:05 > 0:33:07Eddie Jordan.

0:33:07 > 0:33:08You all right, Bernie?

0:33:08 > 0:33:10- Yeah, I'm fine.- Let's have fun, man.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14Now, Liberty.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17They've given you this great title, I'm kind of confused -

0:33:17 > 0:33:20what does that title mean? Is it a gagging order?

0:33:20 > 0:33:21I don't know, really.

0:33:21 > 0:33:27It's a little bit like giving a hitman a gun and no bullets.

0:33:27 > 0:33:28That's not very clever.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32Oh, but I've got enough money to buy the bullets.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Bernie, they said, or you said about them,

0:33:34 > 0:33:36that they should have killed you, not wound you.

0:33:36 > 0:33:37What did you mean by that?

0:33:37 > 0:33:40No, I didn't actually say me at all.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42- That isn't what I said.- OK, well, tell us what you said, then.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45I said the trouble with all sort of animals,

0:33:45 > 0:33:49if you want to kill them, you have to kill them, don't wound them.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51Ah, but it's the same meaning, isn't it, Bernie?

0:33:51 > 0:33:53You were giving a little message to them.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55- It depends how people...- Be careful.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57- ..want to take meanings, doesn't it?- OK.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59Formula 1 is in good hands, Bernie?

0:33:59 > 0:34:01Now? I hope so.

0:34:01 > 0:34:02Can it improve without you?

0:34:02 > 0:34:04I'm sure it will.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07The problem over the last two or three years has simply been

0:34:07 > 0:34:11no competition. And now it looks like we've got some.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14Ferrari, can they win the championship this year?

0:34:14 > 0:34:17Honestly, I shouldn't say this, but I hope they do.

0:34:17 > 0:34:18But I don't think they will.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20It's good for business?

0:34:20 > 0:34:24If we lost Ferrari, over the years, we'd had have been in trouble.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27Formula 1 is Ferrari and Ferrari is Formula 1.

0:34:28 > 0:34:32For many years, I've been intrigued about the way you were able

0:34:32 > 0:34:35to bring the championship right to the last race.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38I mean, you're fixing that, aren't you?

0:34:38 > 0:34:40Not at all.

0:34:40 > 0:34:42The teams may have, but I don't.

0:34:42 > 0:34:46Maybe the teams get together and decide to split the money secretly

0:34:46 > 0:34:49or something to make sure this happens, I don't know.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51You are joking, we know that.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54But it is remarkable, isn't it?

0:34:54 > 0:34:55I'm just lucky.

0:34:55 > 0:35:00Where would you see the possible improvements?

0:35:00 > 0:35:03Well, I think we ought to get rid of a lot of the silly regulations

0:35:03 > 0:35:05that restrict so many things

0:35:05 > 0:35:09for the drivers and the people building cars.

0:35:09 > 0:35:11It's become an engineers' championship,

0:35:11 > 0:35:12not a drivers' championship.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15It's the drivers that should be driving the cars.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18They are the ones that should win the races and get all the credit

0:35:18 > 0:35:20for doing what they've done.

0:35:20 > 0:35:23Who was the best one, in your view?

0:35:23 > 0:35:25Best driver...

0:35:25 > 0:35:28Nobody ever agrees with me. I think it was Alain Prost.

0:35:28 > 0:35:33Because he always had competition in the team,

0:35:33 > 0:35:35he lost two World Championships

0:35:35 > 0:35:39by a small margin, through bad luck on his part.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42So, he should be credited as being the best.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44I want to talk about your cars.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47I've got to ask you, you don't suppose that you might have

0:35:47 > 0:35:50the getaway car from the Great Train Robbery there, by any chance?

0:35:50 > 0:35:53No, I wish I could find it. I don't know which one I used at the time.

0:35:53 > 0:35:55- Ah, OK! - HE CHUCKLES

0:35:55 > 0:35:58Bernie, because, you know, we laugh and joke about it,

0:35:58 > 0:36:01but there are still a body of people who associate you with

0:36:01 > 0:36:05- the Great Train Robbery. Why do you think that is?- No idea, no idea.

0:36:05 > 0:36:07Wasn't enough money on that train, actually.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09Bernie, before we wrap up,

0:36:09 > 0:36:13I've just got a couple of little names that I'd perhaps like

0:36:13 > 0:36:19maybe for you to tell us, in your own words, what they mean.

0:36:19 > 0:36:21Ferrari.

0:36:21 > 0:36:22Special.

0:36:22 > 0:36:24McLaren.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Trying hard. Trying hard.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29Max Verstappen.

0:36:29 > 0:36:31He's really, really super.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33He's going to be a world champion, for sure.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36Finally, Bernie - Lewis Hamilton.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40Best thing that happened for Formula One for a long, long time.

0:36:40 > 0:36:43Good ambassador. Super...

0:36:43 > 0:36:45Certainly the best driver of this...

0:36:45 > 0:36:48- You know, the last ten years. - Of his era.

0:36:48 > 0:36:49Bernie Ecclestone.

0:36:51 > 0:36:54CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:37:02 > 0:37:05Nobody's heard from Eddie since that interview...

0:37:05 > 0:37:06LAUGHTER

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Where is he? Don't mess with Bernie!

0:37:08 > 0:37:10OK.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12The time has come.

0:37:12 > 0:37:14The time has come, as it always does.

0:37:14 > 0:37:18- The time has come to see your lap. How do you think you did?- Um...

0:37:18 > 0:37:23Well, you know, you can never tell, can you? I mean, um...

0:37:23 > 0:37:25- I hate this bit! - LAUGHTER

0:37:25 > 0:37:29I got up this morning thinking, "Why do I put myself through it?"

0:37:29 > 0:37:32You know he takes it seriously, though. Look at his shoes -

0:37:32 > 0:37:33racing driver's shoes.

0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Yeah, yeah.- It matters. - Put him out of his misery, Matt.

0:37:36 > 0:37:39- All right, let's take a look, come on.- OK. Thank you.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42Off the line, that's a good, clean start.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Come on, then, young lady - the Toyota GT86,

0:37:47 > 0:37:50from the Land of the Rising Sun!

0:37:50 > 0:37:53OK, the line was good coming into first...

0:37:53 > 0:37:55A little bit wide there.

0:37:55 > 0:37:58And you turned a bit wide, but you were on the power early.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01And using all the circuit. That's good, that's really good there.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Feels a bit smoother to me.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06Good, and you've stopped the car.

0:38:06 > 0:38:10Some people barrel in there too fast. I reckon your speed was right.

0:38:11 > 0:38:12Line good coming out.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14Don't miss the gear!

0:38:14 > 0:38:15You didn't miss the gear, you see?

0:38:15 > 0:38:17You blithering idiot!

0:38:17 > 0:38:20OK, down the back straight.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29Ah, now, you're a bit wide there. A little bit wide.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31Get it in. GET IT IN!

0:38:31 > 0:38:35And you're self-flagellating, which is a good sign.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Using all the circuit there. - Come on!

0:38:38 > 0:38:40I've never looked too good in a helmet, have I, really?

0:38:42 > 0:38:44No guts, no glory!

0:38:46 > 0:38:49It feels like the one. It feels like the one.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51This is aggressive. This is aggressive!

0:38:51 > 0:38:55The trial brake was good. That was your new line through there.

0:38:55 > 0:38:57And you failed to do a 720 there, which is good.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59And now, over the line...

0:38:59 > 0:39:01- OK, right. - APPLAUSE

0:39:02 > 0:39:04Well done.

0:39:11 > 0:39:13All right. Come on, what do you think? You feeling confident?

0:39:13 > 0:39:16Oh, I don't know. I don't know!

0:39:16 > 0:39:19You know, um, it's, um, it's tricky.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21You know, it's a tricky little... That Hammerhead is tricky.

0:39:21 > 0:39:25You just feel where you're losing bits and bobs and feel where

0:39:25 > 0:39:29you're losing time, and there's a lot of different lines to take,

0:39:29 > 0:39:33- so, um, who knows? But just... Just get on with it!- Now, we know...

0:39:33 > 0:39:37- We know you now.- Yeah. - You're fairly competitive.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39We know you're not looking down in this section here.

0:39:39 > 0:39:43You're looking up there, with the Hoy and the Noble and the Whitlock.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46- Right?- Yeah, I kind of am up there, yeah. I'm looking up there, yeah.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48That's where you want to be. OK.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50Jay Kay...

0:39:50 > 0:39:52You did it...

0:39:52 > 0:39:54JAY CHUCKLES

0:39:55 > 0:39:58This is my favourite part. I love it!

0:39:58 > 0:39:59Oh, yeah, milk it!

0:39:59 > 0:40:03- Milk it, milk it!- You did it in one minute...

0:40:04 > 0:40:06- ..30...- Yes?

0:40:07 > 0:40:096... GROANS

0:40:09 > 0:40:11..point 1.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16Seven tenths off a bloke who's done Le Mans!

0:40:16 > 0:40:18- Happy?- Yeah, yeah, good.

0:40:18 > 0:40:21- Come on, come on!- Second fastest.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24Ladies and gentlemen, Jay Kay!

0:40:26 > 0:40:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:40:34 > 0:40:39Now, I want to talk about the ugliest car ever made,

0:40:39 > 0:40:43because there is one that stands head and hideous shoulders

0:40:43 > 0:40:49- above all others. Feast your eyes on this.- This is the SsangYong Rodius,

0:40:49 > 0:40:53- and it is truly revolting! - Yeah, but, here's the thing.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55Sure, the Rodius might be horrible to look at,

0:40:55 > 0:40:58but it has a beautiful secret.

0:40:58 > 0:41:01And to reveal that secret, Rory took me and this

0:41:01 > 0:41:06Korean masterpiece on a little road trip to Southampton.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12Well, I've got to say, I'm impressed.

0:41:12 > 0:41:13- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16It's as gross on the inside as it is on the outside.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18This thing is disgusting!

0:41:18 > 0:41:23- Better be good, whatever we're doing in Southampton.- Just you wait.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27'Well, at least I didn't have to wait long.'

0:41:27 > 0:41:28Pull in here.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31It's a boat yard, Rory. Why are we going to a boat yard?

0:41:31 > 0:41:33Are we going to drive into the ocean? That's a good call.

0:41:33 > 0:41:34OK, this is perfect.

0:41:34 > 0:41:35'In fact...'

0:41:35 > 0:41:37Come here.

0:41:37 > 0:41:39'..Rory had something else in mind.'

0:41:39 > 0:41:41Look, here's what you need to know about the Rodius, OK?

0:41:41 > 0:41:45- It was designed by a guy called Ken Greenley...- Who was blind?

0:41:45 > 0:41:49Who was head of vehicle design at London's Royal College of Arts,

0:41:49 > 0:41:50and he knew what he was talking about.

0:41:50 > 0:41:55And the Rodius was inspired by the design of luxury yachts.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57No, it wasn't!

0:41:57 > 0:41:59Come here, check this out, look.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02How about now?

0:42:05 > 0:42:07No, I don't see it.

0:42:07 > 0:42:08Dude, look.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Look at the lines, OK, look at the S-shape, the way it flows.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13That's nautical.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16The Rodius might be a hideous car,

0:42:16 > 0:42:18but it was never supposed to be a car,

0:42:18 > 0:42:20it was supposed to be a yacht.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23We are going to turn the SsangYong into a yacht.

0:42:24 > 0:42:27Hey, does this mean we get to cut it up?

0:42:27 > 0:42:29- Yeah.- Excellent, I am in!

0:42:31 > 0:42:33We're going to do this for Ken Greenley.

0:42:33 > 0:42:34Who?

0:42:34 > 0:42:36- The blind guy.- Yeah.

0:42:36 > 0:42:38Yeah...

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Psshww!

0:42:40 > 0:42:42'To see if Rory's idea would float,

0:42:42 > 0:42:46'we enlisted the help of one of Southampton's leading boatbuilders.

0:42:46 > 0:42:48'A man called Digby.'

0:42:48 > 0:42:50What are the problems, do you think,

0:42:50 > 0:42:52by trying to turn this thing into a boat?

0:42:52 > 0:42:56- What's the biggest hurdle? - Capsizing. Very worst - death.

0:42:56 > 0:42:58- Death?- Death.

0:42:58 > 0:42:59Huh.

0:42:59 > 0:43:02It's a very big car to make into a boat.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05But it already looks like a yacht.

0:43:05 > 0:43:06Well, that's...

0:43:06 > 0:43:10open for interpretation. We don't need to get into that so much.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12Can we make it happen?

0:43:12 > 0:43:15Um, if you look at basics of stability,

0:43:15 > 0:43:18you're putting tonnes of weight up there.

0:43:18 > 0:43:21If you start moving through the water at any sort of speed,

0:43:21 > 0:43:24as soon as you hit a wave, you're going to end up down here,

0:43:24 > 0:43:28and risking happy people becoming very much dead people.

0:43:28 > 0:43:30It's going to be difficult.

0:43:30 > 0:43:33- Do you think this is a bad idea? - Oh, yes, it's a terrible idea.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35- But it's doable?- Vaguely doable.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37- But doable?- There's a chance.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39OK! That's all we need to hear.

0:43:39 > 0:43:40- Then we're doing it! - Welcome on board.

0:43:40 > 0:43:44- Hey, let's hope that we live through this.- Yeah, we'll be fine.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48'So, we set to work,

0:43:48 > 0:43:51'carefully extracting weight,

0:43:51 > 0:43:54'remodelling the stern and bow,

0:43:54 > 0:43:56'and delicately finessing the hull.'

0:43:56 > 0:43:58Oh, hot, hot, hot!

0:43:58 > 0:44:00Well, what do you think?

0:44:00 > 0:44:02Probably need another day.

0:44:02 > 0:44:05- Two days.- Max.- Yeah.

0:44:09 > 0:44:11SEAGULLS CRY

0:44:13 > 0:44:14At last...

0:44:16 > 0:44:18..she was ready for testing.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21And to do that,

0:44:21 > 0:44:23there was only one place to go.

0:44:23 > 0:44:25Monaco.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27What the hell am I doing here?

0:44:27 > 0:44:29This is genius, OK?

0:44:29 > 0:44:33We have unleashed the Rodius's inner beauty.

0:44:33 > 0:44:38It was inspired by yachts, and now it has become a yacht!

0:44:38 > 0:44:40You're going to love this, I'm telling you.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42Rory, bring her round!

0:44:42 > 0:44:45MUSIC: Power by Kanye West

0:44:48 > 0:44:49Woohoo!

0:44:49 > 0:44:51Come on! We did it!

0:44:51 > 0:44:54# No one man should have all that power

0:44:54 > 0:44:57# The clock's tickin' I just count the hours... #

0:44:57 > 0:45:00This is going to blow his mind!

0:45:00 > 0:45:03- Oh, my God.- Look at that!

0:45:04 > 0:45:06That's right! That's right!

0:45:06 > 0:45:08MATT LAUGHS

0:45:08 > 0:45:12Rear Admiral Reid...at your service!

0:45:12 > 0:45:13Nice!

0:45:13 > 0:45:15There's a car in there!

0:45:15 > 0:45:17There's a car... There's...

0:45:17 > 0:45:20- It's really weird, now I can't un-see it!- Yeah!

0:45:20 > 0:45:24- Because I can sort of see a boat. - It makes perfect sense!

0:45:24 > 0:45:27- It works, right? - This is what it was born for!

0:45:27 > 0:45:29It's actually disturbing.

0:45:29 > 0:45:31Rory's dressed as Captain Birdseye...

0:45:31 > 0:45:33- Admiral!- ..and he's...

0:45:33 > 0:45:35Admiral Birdseye.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38This is a luxury yacht, and when you're the admiral of

0:45:38 > 0:45:42a luxury yacht, you have to look the part. Hence the outfit.

0:45:42 > 0:45:44He does look good. You've got to admit, he looks good.

0:45:44 > 0:45:45No, the boat looks good.

0:45:45 > 0:45:48It's a super-yacht. Enough with the boat talk!

0:45:48 > 0:45:52How did you create it? Did you buy the hull of a speedboat

0:45:52 > 0:45:54and then just drive the Rodius

0:45:54 > 0:45:56as fast as you could into the back of it?

0:45:56 > 0:45:59Wait till you see the inside, it's killer. Back it in here.

0:45:59 > 0:46:01- I'll bring her round. - Yeah, swing it around.

0:46:01 > 0:46:04He's still getting the hang of driving it.

0:46:04 > 0:46:05Give me a minute!

0:46:05 > 0:46:07Right in there somewhere...

0:46:09 > 0:46:11THUD! Beautiful.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14- So...- Huh?- ..you're impressed, right?

0:46:14 > 0:46:16Did you do this on your own?

0:46:16 > 0:46:18We... We had a bit of help.

0:46:18 > 0:46:21Yeah, we had a little help from a guy called Digby,

0:46:21 > 0:46:23who uses the word "death" a lot,

0:46:23 > 0:46:25but that's not what's important.

0:46:25 > 0:46:29No, what's important is, climb aboard the SsangYacht,

0:46:29 > 0:46:33and all of your land-based worries will simply wash away.

0:46:33 > 0:46:34You can swim, right?

0:46:34 > 0:46:36- What? - MATT AND RORY LAUGH

0:46:36 > 0:46:38This is absurd.

0:46:38 > 0:46:40So, the seats have stayed,

0:46:40 > 0:46:42the dashboard has stayed.

0:46:42 > 0:46:46This material here, this sort of fake marble, faux marble -

0:46:46 > 0:46:48what is it?

0:46:48 > 0:46:51That's real, genuine...fake marble.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54- What's that whirring sound? - It's a bilge pump,

0:46:54 > 0:46:57comes on automatically if water gets in the hull.

0:46:57 > 0:46:59- I'm sorry?- What?

0:47:01 > 0:47:05'While Chris came to terms with the awesomeness of our creation,

0:47:05 > 0:47:07'we broke out the big guns.'

0:47:07 > 0:47:09Ready?

0:47:09 > 0:47:12- Whoa!- Flatscreen TV!

0:47:12 > 0:47:15As if out of nowhere, it magically appears!

0:47:15 > 0:47:18- And disappears.- If you want it to.

0:47:19 > 0:47:21- Boom!- You are a pair of court jesters, aren't you?

0:47:21 > 0:47:24What are you talking about? This thing is fantastic.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26So, you've been gone for weeks,

0:47:26 > 0:47:29and the sum total of your endeavours is a 12-inch TV screen

0:47:29 > 0:47:32that will only stay upright if you're holding a rope.

0:47:32 > 0:47:34It's 15-inch.

0:47:34 > 0:47:37- You like music, right?- Yeah.

0:47:37 > 0:47:39Sit right here, please.

0:47:39 > 0:47:40Right there.

0:47:40 > 0:47:42Now, snap your fingers.

0:47:44 > 0:47:46- Oh, look at that!- Boom!

0:47:46 > 0:47:48- Huh?- Grand piano!

0:47:48 > 0:47:49Check this out!

0:47:49 > 0:47:54HE PLAYS THE EASTENDERS THEME BADLY

0:47:56 > 0:47:59Do we have to go and make it move at some point?

0:47:59 > 0:48:02'Hell, yes, we did.

0:48:02 > 0:48:04'And to get Chris on board once and for all,

0:48:04 > 0:48:06'we gave him the first go.'

0:48:08 > 0:48:09Yeah, baby!

0:48:09 > 0:48:12- Whoa!- The SsangYacht lives!

0:48:17 > 0:48:18This thing rocks, man!

0:48:19 > 0:48:21This is insane!

0:48:24 > 0:48:26What I will say is, it's got good power.

0:48:26 > 0:48:29But I thought the Rodius had a ropey old Merc diesel.

0:48:29 > 0:48:32No, no, no, now it's got two Volvo V-6 engines.

0:48:32 > 0:48:35So that gives us a total of 400 horsepower.

0:48:35 > 0:48:36How fast will it go?

0:48:36 > 0:48:38- I don't know.- I have no idea.

0:48:38 > 0:48:41- There's only one way to find out, isn't there?- Nail it!

0:48:43 > 0:48:44Whoo!

0:48:47 > 0:48:49That's 25 knots, right there!

0:48:51 > 0:48:53In a minivan, on the sea!

0:48:53 > 0:48:55THEY LAUGH

0:48:58 > 0:49:00I have to say

0:49:00 > 0:49:04that it is much better than I expected,

0:49:04 > 0:49:08and it is better to drive than the road-going SsangYong Rodius.

0:49:08 > 0:49:13And I will begrudgingly concede that it's not utter crap.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15- Excellent!- Thank you.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18It's a winner! Well done, Rory! Yeah!

0:49:19 > 0:49:24So, I took the liberty of contacting leading luxury boat magazine

0:49:24 > 0:49:29Boat International, right, and asked them if they'd like to review it,

0:49:29 > 0:49:32and they said they're sending over their best reviewer.

0:49:32 > 0:49:35- Yeah!- OK!- OK.

0:49:35 > 0:49:37'So, we went to meet up with him.

0:49:37 > 0:49:39'And inevitably...'

0:49:39 > 0:49:41- No!- 'Yup.'

0:49:41 > 0:49:43- EDDIE:- Ahoy! Afternoon, boys.

0:49:43 > 0:49:45Are you reviewing our boat?

0:49:45 > 0:49:50Boat International correspondent at your service.

0:49:50 > 0:49:54Yeah, no, it says right here, Eddie Jordan.

0:49:54 > 0:49:56'Nevertheless, keen to make a big first impression,

0:49:56 > 0:50:00'we suggested the first test be performance.'

0:50:00 > 0:50:02Eddie, what do you say, let's run

0:50:02 > 0:50:04a quarter-of-a-nautical-mile drag race?

0:50:04 > 0:50:08- Down to that "booey" out there and back.- Oh, OK.

0:50:08 > 0:50:10- What's a booey?- Shut it!

0:50:12 > 0:50:15Three, two, one, go!

0:50:15 > 0:50:16Stand on it!

0:50:18 > 0:50:19Hold on!

0:50:21 > 0:50:24Oh, we've got the jump on him!

0:50:24 > 0:50:26Come on, baby, come on!

0:50:27 > 0:50:31Bloody hell, Rory, slow down! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

0:50:31 > 0:50:34I don't want to die!

0:50:34 > 0:50:36Come on!

0:50:36 > 0:50:38How many times have you driven a boat this fast?

0:50:38 > 0:50:39None!

0:50:40 > 0:50:43I ain't backing out. Just hold on!

0:50:43 > 0:50:45- Whoo!- Aah!

0:50:45 > 0:50:48God, this is slow. Look at that crappy boat there!

0:50:48 > 0:50:50Nice and easy round the booey.

0:50:50 > 0:50:51- Left!- Go, go, go!

0:50:53 > 0:50:57- Here we go, steady, baby! - He's catching us, he's catching us!

0:50:57 > 0:50:59Now we're smokin'!

0:50:59 > 0:51:01Quick!

0:51:01 > 0:51:04Oh, when we get up speed, we're going to...

0:51:04 > 0:51:05Ohh!

0:51:05 > 0:51:07THEY WHOOP AND CHEER

0:51:07 > 0:51:08Way to go, Rory, way to go!

0:51:08 > 0:51:13Now, stop the boat and never, ever drive that fast again with me in it!

0:51:13 > 0:51:15Ever!

0:51:15 > 0:51:17I hate that boat!

0:51:17 > 0:51:20'The review was off to a rocky start.

0:51:20 > 0:51:25'And once we'd slightly reduced the risk of being buried at sea...'

0:51:25 > 0:51:26There we go.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28'..our expert set us straight.'

0:51:28 > 0:51:31Guys, you're completely missing the point.

0:51:31 > 0:51:34'Apparently, luxury yachts aren't about speed,

0:51:34 > 0:51:37'they're about showing off your toys...'

0:51:37 > 0:51:38Where's he gone? Where'd he go?

0:51:38 > 0:51:40'..as he then demonstrated.'

0:51:43 > 0:51:46Ha-ha! This is what I'm talking about!

0:51:48 > 0:51:49Look at him go!

0:51:51 > 0:51:52Wow!

0:51:54 > 0:51:56He's quick for an old guy, isn't he?

0:52:02 > 0:52:05All right, so he's got toys on his boat.

0:52:05 > 0:52:08We've got toys. Do we have toys?

0:52:08 > 0:52:10'Hell, yes, we did.'

0:52:12 > 0:52:14Whoo! Nice work, Harris!

0:52:14 > 0:52:18- Nice work!- Yeah, Eddie, take that, baby!

0:52:19 > 0:52:23- # I'll be ready - I'll be ready... #

0:52:23 > 0:52:28- This guy is a master of all forms of transport!- He's great!

0:52:28 > 0:52:30# ..I'll be ready... #

0:52:30 > 0:52:31No!

0:52:32 > 0:52:35You know, I'm looking through Boat International,

0:52:35 > 0:52:37and I don't see any other super-yacht

0:52:37 > 0:52:39towing people off the back.

0:52:41 > 0:52:43We are blazing a trail!

0:52:43 > 0:52:44How is he looking?

0:52:47 > 0:52:48He's down!

0:52:48 > 0:52:50He's down, he's down.

0:52:53 > 0:52:55'Well, we'd proven our point,

0:52:55 > 0:52:57'and once we'd found Chris,

0:52:57 > 0:52:59'he was loving the SsangYacht as much as we were.'

0:52:59 > 0:53:03We have just proved you can ski behind a Korean MPV!

0:53:03 > 0:53:07Eddie Jordan, stuff you!

0:53:07 > 0:53:08THEY LAUGH

0:53:08 > 0:53:09Ooh!

0:53:09 > 0:53:12- Careful of the paint job, man! - Sorry, sorry, sorry.

0:53:12 > 0:53:14Do you think that will go down as a good review?

0:53:14 > 0:53:16- Well done, buddy, well done. - He's going to love it.

0:53:16 > 0:53:18'But he didn't.'

0:53:18 > 0:53:20For heaven's sake!

0:53:20 > 0:53:24Being able to water-ski behind it doesn't make it a luxury yacht.

0:53:24 > 0:53:27By the time we are finished with you, you will be convinced

0:53:27 > 0:53:32that this thing is the future of luxury yachting.

0:53:32 > 0:53:33'We decided to bring Eddie aboard

0:53:33 > 0:53:36'and show him the SsangYacht's hidden depths,

0:53:36 > 0:53:40'so we headed for Monaco's legendary marina where, frankly,

0:53:40 > 0:53:42'we blended right in.'

0:53:42 > 0:53:44Ooh, ooh, ooh!

0:53:44 > 0:53:48I think we could squeeze in right behind him, we won't have to pay.

0:53:48 > 0:53:49Mr Jordan!

0:53:49 > 0:53:54Admiral Reid. Welcome aboard the SsangYacht.

0:53:54 > 0:53:58Mr Jordan! Welcome aboard, sir.

0:53:58 > 0:54:00Can I offer you a drink?

0:54:00 > 0:54:02- Gin and tonic, I think. - Gin and tonic?

0:54:02 > 0:54:05- Gin and tonic it is. - I'm very sceptical about all this.

0:54:05 > 0:54:07You're sceptical? How sceptical?

0:54:07 > 0:54:09- Very sceptical.- Very sceptical? OK!

0:54:09 > 0:54:11There you go.

0:54:11 > 0:54:14Now, Eddie, you look like a guy that takes good care of himself.

0:54:14 > 0:54:18- You go to the spa sometimes? - Sometimes.- Check this out.

0:54:18 > 0:54:19Are you ready?

0:54:19 > 0:54:22What we have here is special goldfish that we are trying

0:54:22 > 0:54:25to train to eat the dead skin off your feet.

0:54:25 > 0:54:28So, drop your tootsies right in there and feel the love happening.

0:54:28 > 0:54:29You feel them?

0:54:29 > 0:54:31- Are you guys for real?- Yeah.

0:54:31 > 0:54:34'Sensing the onboard spa wasn't doing the trick,

0:54:34 > 0:54:37'Rory made a panic move.'

0:54:37 > 0:54:42HE PLAYS THE EASTENDERS THEME BADLY

0:54:42 > 0:54:43'And with that not working either...'

0:54:43 > 0:54:45Really?

0:54:45 > 0:54:47'..I quickly moved on to the as yet unexplored...'

0:54:47 > 0:54:49Keep crawling, keep crawling, keep crawling.

0:54:49 > 0:54:51'..master suite.'

0:54:51 > 0:54:52Look at this!

0:54:52 > 0:54:55Is this spacious, or what? Huh?

0:54:55 > 0:54:58I think it's going really well. I think he really likes it.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00- You really think he likes it? - He loves it.

0:55:00 > 0:55:05He just had his feet chewed by a recalcitrant goldfish!

0:55:07 > 0:55:09There's your toilet. Right there.

0:55:09 > 0:55:10Is that nice, or what?

0:55:12 > 0:55:13I am confused.

0:55:13 > 0:55:15And then, this red button, do you see this?

0:55:15 > 0:55:18- Yeah.- This red button...- Yeah?

0:55:18 > 0:55:23..ejects the waste, the sewage, away from the boat,

0:55:23 > 0:55:25so you're not snorkelling through it.

0:55:25 > 0:55:28There's no cigar fish in your life.

0:55:28 > 0:55:31- Give it a try.- What, hit that? - Yeah, hit the button.

0:55:31 > 0:55:34It's like a cannon - a torpoodo!

0:55:34 > 0:55:36HATCH WHIRS

0:55:42 > 0:55:43GURGLING

0:55:43 > 0:55:45Oh! Must have been one in the chamber.

0:55:45 > 0:55:46Rory, where are your manners?

0:55:46 > 0:55:47Sorry!

0:55:47 > 0:55:49I mean, lads, please...

0:55:49 > 0:55:51You are having a laugh.

0:55:51 > 0:55:53What do you mean?

0:55:53 > 0:55:56I mean, you can't possibly say that that's correct or proper.

0:55:57 > 0:55:59Are you proud of it?

0:55:59 > 0:56:02Very. Are you proud of me?

0:56:02 > 0:56:03No.

0:56:03 > 0:56:06- Come on.- How could I be? - We took a minivan...- It's crap!

0:56:06 > 0:56:09But we took a minivan and turned it into a yacht!

0:56:09 > 0:56:12But only a lunatic would do such a thing.

0:56:13 > 0:56:15'Eddie had seen enough,

0:56:15 > 0:56:18'and with our first review complete, all that was left to do was

0:56:18 > 0:56:21'to christen our ground-breaking vessel...'

0:56:21 > 0:56:23GLASS SMASHES

0:56:23 > 0:56:25EDDIE AND CHRIS LAUGH

0:56:25 > 0:56:28'..and set sail once again.'

0:56:28 > 0:56:31So, where to next, boys?

0:56:31 > 0:56:33Portofino? Capri?

0:56:33 > 0:56:35- Miami.- Oh, nice!

0:56:35 > 0:56:39- Yeah!- Can you just drop me off over there before you do that?

0:56:39 > 0:56:40Oh, come on.

0:56:40 > 0:56:42I don't want to go any further.

0:56:42 > 0:56:44Come on!

0:56:44 > 0:56:45Come on.

0:56:53 > 0:56:56CHEERING

0:56:58 > 0:57:00How amazing is that? How amazing is that?

0:57:00 > 0:57:02There it is!

0:57:03 > 0:57:05We built...

0:57:05 > 0:57:08- We built a beautiful boat...- Yeah.

0:57:08 > 0:57:10- Nobody drowned.- Nobody drowned.

0:57:10 > 0:57:12- And we've removed a Rodius from the road.- Yup.

0:57:12 > 0:57:17And...and the torpoodo stopped doing that thing where it backfired.

0:57:17 > 0:57:20That...was very...upsetting.

0:57:20 > 0:57:25OK, OK, time for the big moment, because I have here the very first

0:57:25 > 0:57:31SsangYacht review by Mr Eddie Jordan in Boat International magazine.

0:57:31 > 0:57:33Honestly, this is completely genuine,

0:57:33 > 0:57:37you can buy this right now from any good...boat newsagent.

0:57:37 > 0:57:40- Come on, come on, what does it say? Show me, show, me.- OK, OK, OK.

0:57:40 > 0:57:43Right here, let's see...

0:57:43 > 0:57:46All right, what have we got, what have we got? Um...

0:57:46 > 0:57:48"Top-heavy...

0:57:48 > 0:57:49"Awkward...

0:57:49 > 0:57:53"Minefield of pointy corners..."

0:57:53 > 0:57:55No, no, no...

0:57:55 > 0:57:59"The worst thing to happen to boating since that iceberg."

0:58:02 > 0:58:04OK, OK, here we go. In conclusion...

0:58:04 > 0:58:05HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

0:58:05 > 0:58:11Uh, "It is quite simply the worst boat I have ever been on."

0:58:14 > 0:58:16How great is that?

0:58:16 > 0:58:19What... What are you talking about? It's a terrible review!

0:58:19 > 0:58:21Yeah, but it's a review.

0:58:21 > 0:58:27Boat International magazine deemed our little boat worthy of a review.

0:58:27 > 0:58:29I mean, yeah, sure, they kicked us,

0:58:29 > 0:58:33but they kicked us over six very glossy pages.

0:58:33 > 0:58:37I mean, feel that. That is good stuff! Feel that.

0:58:37 > 0:58:38Yeah, that is good.

0:58:38 > 0:58:41And it's not every day you get the chance to be utterly trashed

0:58:41 > 0:58:47- right next to an advert for statue repair services.- Yes, exactly!

0:58:47 > 0:58:52- We have arrived. Well done, Captain Reid.- Admiral.- Admiral Reid.

0:58:52 > 0:58:55- Well done, Seaman Harris.- Thank you.

0:58:55 > 0:58:57RORY SNIGGERS

0:58:57 > 0:59:00And that is the end of the series.

0:59:00 > 0:59:01Thank you all so much for watching.
