    Anyone else notice only May was wearing a seatbelt?

    Now that's not setting a good example!!

    Great episode alright though, Clarkson going through the wall looked rough!

    The other trucks may not have been equipped with them. It wasn't a legal requirement until recent years.

    Didn't notice that he was. Noticed Clarkson wasn't, was surprised.

    Never really noticed it! Where they actually on public roads with them?
    Good for a laugh anyway, enjoyed the cracks about ross/brand thing. Wish there was slightly more about the cars, still good though!

    They were using private roads. (I doubt that any of them holds a C+E Licence for public roads).

    That Renault was the meanest looking truck i've ever seen:) much better looking than those tacky chromed and airbrushed trucks

    I would have loved to see "OL1V3R" crushed on the hill start though...

    I think an organisation with the budget of the BBC could afford to install some.

    The roll-eyes was for sarcasm btw.

    Redsoxfan, check the listings on www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo

    It'll be shown at least once more this week.

    Shame Clarkson is a cock and didn't throw up the time however.

    Its gotten contrived to the point where I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. Still worth a watch though.

    great episode, loved when clarkson slightly clipped the volvo!!:D
    staged but still very very funny!!:D

    Clarkson could be in a small bit of bother however over one of his jokes!!
    Ahh i thought they were all in good taste!!

    Storm in a tea cup. The BBC has already defended him. It is the Daily Mail brigade looking for something to be offended about.

    The show wasn't live. If anyone's to blame it's the editor/producer/BBC not clarkson.
