Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May go rural as they harness a group of high tech tractors. The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 dances with the devil on the test track and Kristin Scott Thomas is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
Our Take
Peak Top Gear, honestly. The tractor challenge is gloriously stupid in the best way, with all three presenters firing on the same comedic wavelength, and the Murcielago segment is pure car-porn theater. Kristin Scott Thomas holds her own in the interview too. It’s a rare episode where every segment lands, and it still holds up as one of the show’s all-time great hours.
