Crossing the river | Top Gear Africa Special | Series 19 | BBC

- čas přidán 3. 11. 2013
- As the boys travel eastwards, our motoring trio are stopped by a river and realise it is too deep to wade through with their cars, especially since there are crocodiles lurking within it. Jeremy comes up with the idea of making their own car-ferry, designed specifically to take their cars across the river, (similar to one they had seen in Albania) using wood and rope.

Never good when an Englishman says: “I feel like an explorer now”
You're right, it's marvelous B)
Look up the key and peele “local customs” sketch and you’ll see and agree...
welcome to the British empire
*Zulu singing in the distance*
Of course it is not good, it is holy, it is perfect.
"That man's got your chair"
"Enjoy it"
😂😂😂
shut up immideatly
XZ888ZX he will take it home to feed his kids it.
American Not American't ... :/
Ronald Mata it’s not in bad taste, people say much worse things
Then that man also got a car
Enjoy it lol
7:40 Hammond and Clarkson simultaneously " but it didn't"
7:42 Hammond and May simultaneously " onwards"
Further proof all three of them share the same brain cell
Vjfkb
@@iamkroot6098 exactly 😂
Ah yes that is what a script is for
wow
7:39 a representation of how Hammond is the link between the other two as he is like both of them put into one person
An underrated observation.
Yes
Well spotted
Perfect natural chemistry
He said what they said both times
"I've been shouted at so much....I need a zesty drink" hahahaha
Hahaha, yeah, the way he say such things...
Carmelo Oliveri he said zesto
You beat me to it, by 5 years!
Never been shouted at.....never
The way he unscrews the cap at near supersonic speed too
"But it *didn't!*"
That is smug.
+TraustiGeir Absolutely gloriously smug! :D
megaspeed2v2 Clarkson's smug is probably trademarked.
TraustiGeir sounds legit
+TraustiGeir it could of
+Freddie Haymes *could have.
7:23
Perfect description of what happened to TopGear after these 3 left
why did they left
Jeremy got fired after he had an argument with one of the crew members so James and Richard quit after their friend was sacked.
@@usmanzahid1729 one of the producers actually
The chemistry between these guys were unmatched these are the best top gear presenters ever.
I miss the old Top Gear so much
same
literally every single Top a gear fan older then 15 miss the old top gear, but no worries, if the producers ever see this then they know what they have to do.
+Justin Heidstra Everyone no matter what age hates (or should hate) Chris Evans and the new top gear.
Kenney 303 carsyoubnewn
It will be missed but not forgotten
Clarkson: James please stay at the back
James May: stop being an old woman
what a witty dirty line lmao
How the turntables
James of all people
“NOOOO, I’m not showing off, but I AAAAAAM.”
Soofa Diyab 😂
Dear BBC of 2020: THIS IS WHAT ENTERTAINMENT LOOKS LIKE!
2024 ..still applies
3:39
richard: "that was tied on"
Jeremy: "yeah i took the rope off..."
“I can go on the other side as it turns out” 😂
Best trio ever
"good catch" "throw wasn't brilliant" lmfaoo even little lines like that crack me up haha i love british humor loll
ArminHammer I've never understood the "Hahaha I love (Insert country name here) humor"
Docter Yoda It's not something that's with all countries. British humor is a specific brand of humor that is dry and witty.
Docter Yoda well Brits have a very specific type of dry humor, witty, sarcastic, very identifiable after being so well established with python
But in general, sure, I'm sure Canada or Finland have their own type but isn't as widely known or easily labeled.
Japan with their puns have their own type of humor too
You may not understand it but it doesn't mean each country's culture and style doesn't lead to the their own brand of humor
Completely lost it there too 😂
it wasnt humour it was him shifting the blame and rightly so.
Why am I so entertained by this one video? Seriously, I've watched this exact video about 9 times over the past year.
***** Same here haha
Only nine?
G
***** No need for that.
+Christian Lewis Simple question. It's a Top Gear video.
4:00 That means there is someone in the heart of Africa with a leopard print chair that belonged to Richard Hammond on a Top Gear special. That most fans would happily spend up to 20 quid for.
Are u good. A top gear fan would pay 100s for that
7:17 Jeremy's reaction goes well with the car slipping
Lost it at 5:11
"Should I come back?"
"Yeah a bit"
"wahata"
"Stop making squeeky noises" 😂😂😂😂
سكس
معاني القرني no
its Mr steal yo chair
Pewdiepie will be mad...
John Crewsmen what why bring him in to this he is terrible and he has fake subs
LAYTON 508 and u have fake friends
LAYTON 508 someone didn't get the joke
jokes on you, I don't have friends
That ending where Jezza & Hammond speak together, & then Hammond & James speak together is pure magic.
It was so nice to see them once not fighting, but working with each other with joy. This emitted so much bro energy.
"I need a zesty drink"
- Jeremy Clarkson (2012)
That got me as well! Now if any of the new Top Gear lot had said that, it just wouldn't be funny, but when Jeremy says it....
Goodd
Rasin Abdulwahid Why have I got to die?
+adrian mark cuz the tone
Someone care to explain?
"Yeees yes... yes," -Jeremy Clarkson
Hugrit
One of his more consistent quotes
That's what she said
Greatest “Yesss” ever
2:01
That man who retrieved the throne from the river has now become the King of the area.
Lol "that could've happened to us... But it didn't"
+Mdumisi Ndimande That's all that matters. It ALMOST happened, but didn't. Case closed.
Onwards!
P
Isn't it amazing when some unscripted thing happens, like the fourth car sinking? You could tell that was unplanned.
Most of it is unplanned
The show wouldn't be near as absolutely hilarious as it was without all the scripted parts.
Yes, “unscripted”
Sorry, I'm not buying for a second that part was unplanned.
Two guys in completely unnecessary lab coats by themselves next to the car with no one driving and right in the camera shot of the three stars standing on the bank chit chatting for no reason. They didn't even have the ramps set up to drive onto the raft !
@@stiimuli can you please shut up? Literally a mastermind of comedy top gear was and all you idiots can do is critisize obvious intentional scripting to make it funny. You don't say 'friends is not funny because it's scripted' do you?
Yep: 1:13
Yes: 1:16
Yeeeeees: 1:46
Yeees: 1:58
Yeeas: 2:00
Yeees: 2:08
Oh yes: 2:11
Oh yes: 2:12
Yees: 5:58
OH YES: 6:07
OH YES: 6:08
Ohh yes
Yeeeees mate
YES YES YES, oh my god...
2:11 and 6:07 sound exactly the same
LMAOOOOO
"That was tied on!"
Clarkson: "We needed the rope"
lmao
topgear is not topgear without these three
Fax
this aged like 2000 year old cheese
RIP Top Gear 2002-2015
+The Nice Guy ?
yes rip top gear
+Gahlok12 Clarkson has been kicked out, and May and Hammond Said they don't want to do anything without him.
Emdzej Aka Majkel. Okay....
Gahlok12 But don't worry, they are making a new show on Amazon in next year named House Of Cars, however, there will be some characteristic elements missing:
The Stig
The Track
Lap Times
(All of above patented or rights owned by Britain Broadasting Corporation)
“Somebody’s ‘ad me chair” 🤣 @3:55
Nichole Lester Haha Hammond’s Birmingham accent showing.
Rudranshu65 Sengupta hahaha definitely! Wouldn’t change him for anything 😂🤣
Is it wrong that I instantly assumed the ‘hungry audience’ was going to be the local village population
Yes
No.
Maybe
Is this a pole now?
Yes
I love James's victory dances. It's such a character break for him and thus is all the more funny.
4.54 Jeremy praying: Our father who art in heaven, if you're there make it go upside down please, please,... xD
Our Father who ART in heaven, not "aren't"
well, it does :
Lord's Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
cela l 👍👍
@@celal2253, oh ur reading the older version huh?
@@Saucy-ws6jc Chill that was 5 years ago I didn't speak English back then very well.
6:28 its actually really professional of jeremy to be sure he covered the label up on that bottle tbf
Clarkson's "God, I'm a good driver" followed by Hammond turning to look into the camera is one of those Top Gear moments that I find myself thinking about from time to time.
Losing the chair was awesome!
I preferred the part where the back-up car sunk!
omg they left the handbrake off xD
+UnknownBlackHand It was a shit one anyway...
Care to enlighten me on the Ford Scorpio?
They were all terrified they'd have to drive it, but fortunately, the fugly thing went the the bottom of the river.
"Stop making squeaking noises" hahahaa, James May, you sir, are a legend
"Stop making speaking noises"* He said... Listen to it again.
Hellsings No, its not "speaking noises" That doesn't even make any sense. May says "Stop making squeaking noises."
Listen to it, Dont tell me it doesnt make sense because i didnt say it.
Hellsings May says "Stop making squeaking noises" precisely because Hammond is making little, squeak like noises behind the car. If May wanted to say "Stop making speaking noises", as you say, he would've just said "Stop speaking." Seriously, how hard can it be?
Now because you made a nice comment back to me. Yes, i was wrong i admit it i listened to it and he did actually say "squeaking". Sorry again
6:49 Me getting the highest marks in class.
1:52
Hammond: “Well your nearly ashore”
Jeremy: “Aren’t I ashore”
Hammond: “Not entirely asho-....”
Jeremy: *“YEeEEEeeZZzzZ I’m ashore!”*
Hammond: “is that wheel ashore”
Jeremy: (deep voice) “yez” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
These guys had/have such amazing chemistry... "Good catch" - "Throw wasn't brilliant"... Get's me everytime :D
I love that these middle-aged men are still just big kids at heart.
Stay young!
6:38 I love how absolutely gutted Jeremy is when James disembarks perfectly, haha!
You can see him standing there, thinking: "But... How... What is happening??"
“Yeassss gently” 😂😂 5:59
"I then pulled Hammond off"
lol gotta love Jezza's impressively disguised euphemisms
ummm what?
tom und jeery
t
The chemistry between these 3 is what made TopGear the most popular show. Watching them do anything even if it isn't car related would still be the most watchable and entertaining material around!
"Good catch."
"Throw wasn't brilliant."
It's little off-the-cuff moments like this that made this show so amazing.
"I've never been shouted at so much in my entire life,
I need a zesty drink..."
3:38 I just spat my drink EVERYWHERE.
i lost it at "As it turns out.."
My favorite part..."Alright, onwards!" ...leaving the Fod Scorpio behind lmao
I was born in 2009 and I started watching topgear form the age of 5 I miss the old topgear so much.
@Deadpoppin 13 but that was a year ago
7:16 you see another car falling😂😂
😂😂😂
Yeah, was searching for this comment
"Stop making squeaky noises." lol
"that guy has your chair" "enjoy it!"
It's refreshing to have all three laughing at something at the same time.
Whenever I'm feeling down I come watch these clips and forget such a great show pure magic
Best show ever?
yep
Absolutely!
yep
Yes
6:07
4:33 wait, is that a toilet seat on The Subaru's hood? 😅
James cut off the hood scoop on the Subie, so I guess Hammond improvised
"Make it go upside down"
Gotta love Jeremy.
I love how in the background the car is sinking and then Jeremy is just like Ah Gentlemen
'stop making squeaky noises!! '
omg i'm dying..
6:24 Need a zesty drink... Coca-Cola Zero :D
6:39 did Anyone spot The BMW logo On the Volvo
Hands down one of the best segments in the myriad of adventures.
Top gear shows how even amateurs can improvise! Awesome, hilarious, class. Everything top gear is actually!
Really love the parts of the show where their madness turns into genius with amazing (or at the very least, convincing) results, such as Jeremy using his Bimmer to pull the car raft instead of them tugging the ropes. You just gotta love them.
+ZeroStriker426 Power !!
One of the best scenes of the entire show
Hammond: "Jeremy stop! Or you'll have deaths on your hands" Just made my day
This is when Top Gear was golden!
I want that Subaru! It is so much better compared to the other wagons.
+ChickenFingers451 Easily! I'd have the Scoobie any day!
Subaru Legacy 3.0R is the proper wagon you're wanting
Yes.. I have since seen many... I want them. I want them all
its a Volvo it doesnt matter haha
Although it's less of a wagon and more of a hatchback...
2:38 at this moment, I could see through Jeremy eyes thinking "gosh I just realized how stupid I am and Hammond is actually clever"
This is so nostalgic. I remember spending time after school watching this
3:45 that look is full of disbelief and dissapointment. It's so funny!
4:55 he is praying 🤣😂🤣
00:43 my man hits that note
Africa; One of the best Top Gear Adventures that there aver was. RIP Top Gear as the team will never be the same
"It was tied on?!"
"We needed to use the rope"
Richard Hammonds face after they said that
+Jordan The Gamer The second best reaction to other people's bad decision making coming close to King Arthur's facepalm in Monty Python and the Holy Grail when he heard about that trojan rabbit mess up
"Oh no wait I can go to the otherside as it turns out"
@Rayden Kreps
I’d probably have to fight Jeremy when we get to shore. 💀
LOL!!! "Somebodies had me chair!"
Brice Wilson
This was probably my favorite adventure. Vietnam, US, and the Alps are all right up there too. That little Subaru was the clear best car.
This Trio is unbeatable. They're a class of their own. And hilarious HAHAHA
May this show never end.
This was awesome! After watching this, I need a zesty drink!!
These 3 men,
Always makes me happy❤️
7:23!
The Scorpio going into the river was classic... but the reaction to it gets me every time!
Those two crew members just looking at each other like " one of us is getting sacked for this " xD
Jeremy: "JAMES WAIT, JAMES! JAMES! JAMES!"
James: "What?"
Jeremy: "Stay at the back, please stay at the back!"
James: "That doesn't make any difference."
Jeremy: "James, Please Stay at the back."
James: "Oh Stop being such an old woman, It doesn't make any difference."
I was cracking up at that whole bit.... 0:52 - 1:06.
This is my fair favourite special out of all them especially the part where they make the cars more of a home
The quality of the footage is amazing.
I never seen them so joyfully unified when they saw somebody else fail where they succeeded.
2:08 FINGERS
Clarkson: "I then pulled Hammond off"
Hammond: "HE-HAAY!!!"
These old Top Gear specials are worth watching over & over
Jeremy's prayers were so hilarious 🙏🏻🤣🤣🤣
I love how Clarkson makes a big fuss about going onto the other side of the raft, and he does in the end, only after hammond’s chair falls off
Bloody legends! Nothing compares to the good old Top Gear combo 👍
"it could have done, *Spontaneously* but it didn't" best part.
Jeden z lepszych odcinków :) Pomysłowość high level !
Yeeeees I'm ashore
Is that wheel ashore?
Yessssss
Every time 😂
Dan Bourne i mean, is it really ashore? without even waiting for him to finish the question: YEEESSSSSSS
"This is captain Hammond ringing down to the engine room, ohhh you've got the slacks!" lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
man this trio makes my childhood awesome to be honest
