Excellent episode, caravans even get wrecked on the railway!

Take James May's Toy Stories race against the Germans. The Germans were told that the train to complete the contest in the fastest time would be the winners. They had no idea it was a best of three contest until after they got back to Germany.
There was an article in the Radio Times by Clarkson many years ago. About engine pollution he said you should drive faster because the amount of pollution given out was dependant on how long the engine was on, not the speed you drove at.

Well, I can't stand Richard Hammond and the way he talks. I'm sure he's a lovely guy in real life.

I enjoyed the program a lot though. Everyone seemed to be really miserable in the caravans though!

Me too. All good idiotic fun.
I presume the Peak suffered little or no damage ploughing through the caravan at the end.

One of the funniest items they've ever done I thought. 'Scum Class' was hilarious.

Almost as good as driving to the north pole though that was a whole programme.
