Default Top Gear - S10 EP10 - 23rd December, 2007 - Discussion

In the last episode of the series, Jeremy James and Richard take three cars to Spain: the new BMW M3, Mercedes C63 AMG and Audi RS4. One reason for doing this is to discover which car makes you look least like a "hair-gelled weasel".

James drives the new Jaguar XF; Richard looks at beach buggies and Jeremy turns a G-Wiz into a radio-controlled car.

David Tennant is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
M3, RS4 and C63 AMG

Yes...
Why... is snooker even on TV in the UK? Is there nothing better on?

To quote Clarkson:
"Who? Who sat down an thought up this stuff?"

The complete program:



There's no Top Gear on telly this coming Sunday, 'cos the snooker's on instead.

Normally we'd be really, really unhappy about this, but the blow has been lessened by the news that next Sunday - December 23 - is Top Gear night on BBC Two.

Starting at 7pm, we get James May: My Sister's Top Toys, in which Captain Slow tells his heart-wrenching childhood story of being stuck between two sisters, where he was forced to play with their poxy toys.

The Spirograph and Fuzzy Felt are among the toy victims as James wreaks his vengeance, getting his own back on his childhood misery. He also blows up the tree house family.

Then at 8pm we get the last Top Gear of the series, which sees the boys triple testing the new BMW M3 against a Merc C63 AMG and an Audi RS4, to find out which one handles the best and which one makes you look like a hair-gelled weasel. James takes out Jaguar's brand spanking XF, David 'Dr Who' Tennant is the star in a reasonably priced car, and the three of them turn a G-Wiz into a high-performance radio-controlled car.

As if all of that wasn't enough, at 9pm we round out Top Gear night with Richard Hammond Meets Evel Knievel. The Hamster spent four days in the summer with his childhood hero, shortly before the legendary stuntman's death.

So that's:

James May: My Sister's Top Toys, 7pm, BBC Two

Top Gear, 8pm, BBC Two

Richard Hammond Meets Evel Knievel, 9pm, BBC Two
