    I was just looking for something to have on in the background while I clean my room, so I fired up the RTE Player and see TopGear and perfect.

    Less then one minutes {0:00:52} in I see a weird blurs section on the screen and just think "Sh!tty RTE encoding" but then ~ 0:01:10 in I see 1/4 of the right side of the screen is blurred and there is a "CENSORED" text and the bottom of the page.....

    Long story short {or shorter} May is smoking a pipe and that is what they are blurring !!¿!¿!¿!?!?!¿

    Should have been watching it properly, it was an intentional gag, to do the BBC censoring smoking on air.
