Sea to Unsalty Sea

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

In this episode Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are driving the Aston Martin DBS, the Bentley Continental GT and the BMW M850i on an epic 1000 kilometre trip from the shores of the salt water Black Sea in Georgia to the edge of the freshwater Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan. Their purpose? They’ll be attempting to find the best car for someone who lives in Georgia but really craves freshwater fish. Because that makes sense, right? Along the way, they encounter strange bathing regimes, moveable borders, incredible monuments and a bladder bursting way to check track performance before arriving in the Azerbaijani capital, Baku, for a race and then some bream.

Our Take

A relaxed road trip episode that leans on the scenery and the trio’s banter rather than any real chaos, and honestly that’s fine. The fish premise is thin and a couple of the challenges feel like filler, but the Caucasus backdrop is gorgeous and the car talk has some genuine bite. Nothing groundbreaking, just comfortable watching for fans.
