odd….I saw that same car model in a historic film, during the aftermath of the milan bomb in piazza Fontana, 1969…

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.

Agree. This is why Top Gear is among the ranks of, err, Screenwipe. Or it’s the other way around.

Lets hope they don’t sell off television centre. Maybe this could be done as part of Jeremy’s protest about the idiotic cuts.

Oh god. Me too, I was laughing the entire length of that segment. The rolls royce and the bugatti race were awesome as well.

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.

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.
