Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jeremy, Richard and James drive three super cars through France to the Millau bridge, Jeremy test drives the new Ford Focus, and Dr Stephen Ladyman MP, UK Minister of State for Transport, is the star in the reasonably priced car.

Our Take

A proper old-school Top Gear road trip, with three supercars growling across France and the usual bickering about whose is worst. The Millau bridge finale gives the hour a genuine wow moment, and the Focus review is more useful than it sounds. The politican interview drags a bit, but the scenery and engine noise carry it. Easy, entertaining viewing.
