Italian Lessons

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

From the shores of Loch Ness in Scotland, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May introduce their attempts to buy used Maseratis for a bargain price and then use them to tour the drizzle flecked landscapes of the North of France. Also in this programme, Richard takes the Abarth 124 Spider to the Eboladrome, Jeremy comes up with a way to install cutting edge features in an older car, and Olympic cycling champion turned car racer Sir Chris Hoy is invited to try Celebrity Brain Crash.

Our Take

The used Maserati trip has its moments, mostly when the cars inevitably start falling apart, but the French leg never quite hits the chaos of their best adventures. The Abarth lap and Hammond’s segments feel like filler. A middling hour with enough banter to keep you watching, though you won’t remember much of it by next week.
