Wembley to Milan

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May engage in an epic race from Wembley to the San Siro stadium in Milan. Hamstrung by a rule about price, Clarkson maximises his bang-for-buck with a 35,000-pound, 662-horsepower Shelby Mustang GT500, while Hammond and May pin their hopes to the ever-improving pan-European rail network. For the winner, tickets to a top flight football match. For the losers, only the stench of failure and a long trudge home. Plus Jeremy slithers about the test track in the brand new Toyota GT86 coupe, and car-loving singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald is the star in the Reasonably Priced Car.

Our Take

Solid, satisfying television. The season’s engine keeps turning and the character work pays.
