When Top Gear isn’t busy being the most beautifully shot show on television, or keeping us on the edge of our seats, its making us laugh, and this clip from last nights episode falls into that category. In the video, Jeremy takes the worlds smallest production car, the Peel P50 for a test drive through the corridors of the BBC Television Centre in London.
- Thanks for the video Craig.
That News 24 bit has to be fake! The graphics don’t look right. It’s a shame they’re selling off that building, it’s bizarrely iconic.
reply
Yes it’s fake.
I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it, especially at the start when we see JC in this tiny car for the first time.
reply
Oh god. Me too, I was laughing the entire length of that segment. The rolls royce and the bugatti race were awesome as well.
reply
Lets hope they don’t sell off television centre. Maybe this could be done as part of Jeremy’s protest about the idiotic cuts.
reply
Agree. This is why Top Gear is among the ranks of, err, Screenwipe. Or it’s the other way around.
reply
The offices you see him driving around are all in the BBC White City building down the road (where Top Gear’s is based), only the exteriors and the news 24 shot (which of course was staged for the programme!) are in TV Centre.
