The Interceptors

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are challenged to knock down a row of derelict houses in less time than it takes a team of demolition experts to do the same job. Jeremy tests an updated version of the classic Jensen Interceptor and finds himself transported back to a 1970s world of leather driving gloves and droopy moustaches. The show also features the Lotus T125 which brings F1-style performance to the track, plus another celebrity guest attempts a record lap in the Reasonably Priced Car.

Our Take

A fun hour that leans hard on nostalgia, and mostly gets away with it. The demolition challenge is the highlight, with the usual mix of chaos and one-upmanship that made this era of the show so watchable. The Jensen Interceptor film is thinner than it thinks it is, but the Lotus T125 segment delivers some genuine thrills. Worth your time.
