In fairness, even with this 3 still onboard, it was on its last legs.

234 subscribers, 214 THOUSAND views. Totally deserved. Wonderful clip action. I had forgotten all about this episode like so many other classics from apex TG. I am therefore very happy to see it again. As others have noted, "what flavour is it?" must be one of the best lines of all time with impeccable comic timing from JM. The audience was amazing. Lots of sniggering and giggling but with a little bit of edge, some tangible gasps, and even the odd Edwardian swoon (one imagines). Could have gone anywhere. Letters to the BBC followed, naturally. And then they pretended to destroy the entire lighting system and set the studio on fire. Pure gold.

The hidden messages in TG and now GT are very clever

I was a young teenager excitedly looking forward to watching Top Gear during this era. At 36 and every now and then as I come back to a clip or two I find they get younger as I grow older. One day the time will come pretty soon where I watch these and they will look like children to me. How quickly the time goes. One day you're a child. The next, you're passed your prime and the world isnt a playground anymore.

I have never seen this clip before, but, I Love It!!!!

Doesn't matter how many hosts they might try to get, they'll never be able to find a trio with the chemistry and wit of May , Hammond, and Clarkson.

The Growler bit was great too

Masters of Motoring Mayhem that will be missed Massively. Thanks guys for 27 plus years of great motoring moments. You will be missed as you can't be replaced.

It’s so chaotic, I love it

The first twenty one seconds will go down in television history. (double entendre intentional)

The thing about this show that I always loved is that I can never tell what is scripted and what isn't 😂

This is legitimately the best Top Gear part !

This is why these guys are so great!

i hope that suggestion sticks in my head for eternity

To me, the scene is even more impressive knowing it was all scripted.

That drone hitting the lights might have caused a Butters dance contest moment lol

Just have a video podcast of "The News" with these three. That's all you ever needed

They also joked about some beer soaps that night but that part was cut from the original episode, after shooting was done I took them from the table and I have them in my house somewhere. Afterwards I had a beer with them and met them in person.

I never got this when it first came out being like 8 or so. I was missing out big time
