Hammond Nearly Drowns

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jeremy Clarkson looks at the bling-bling Continental GT and the changing face of Bentley. James May takes a spin in the new Subaru Legacy, while Richard Hammond gives Top Gear’s safety experts something to do when he investigates the best way to escape from a submerged car. This week’s Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is Welsh actor/comedian Rob Brydon (Marion & Geoff, Gaving & Stacey).

Our Take

Very good — not the series’ peak, but an hour that reminds you why Top Gear works.
