The playing of the song: "We are all very worried about you" for that penguin guy segment was a great moment in human history!!

With the opening strains of Moby's Play wafting over the scene of the glorious E-type's arrival, I am recalled to the masterful music direction that Top Gear enjoyed for most of its early seasons, and I wonder, was this some friend or associate of Clarkson's which accompanied him through multiple projects?

This was sadly cut out, because there was also a segment where at the beginning of when Clarkson arrived to Holland, he explored XXX shops for quite some time.

As always Jeremy's hilarious 😅
