- Jeremy and Richard attempt to design a car targeted at elderly people. They rip out the needlessly complex and add more of what they think the elderly want including ample seating and external airbags. Christening it the Rover James they road test their creation in Christchurch, Dorset. All does not go to plan...

Jeremy: “The airbags just gave three ladies heart attacks.”
Also Jeremy: *Sets car to self destruct when going the wrong way on a highway.*
That's a motorway, for us
@@untrust2033 there is a difference between the two, but yes that is a motorway
Not Jeramy
Richard Hammond
They wernt in the car
Very true
I'm not even British but I absolutely love how British this entire sketch is
As a brit, I can confirm that this is very British. Quite accurate if you've ever spoken to an old lady here.
Hahahaha right? it's the constabulary hahah
And such sweet old ladies who lived through the Blitz (and to be fair, as far as national stereotypes go, they really did have balls of steel when you see the pictures of Brits hanging out underground during a raid looking relaxed as all hell)
And Clarkson being super uncharacteristically polite and sweet hahaha
Although as usual, not being british I never understand all of Jeremys pop culture jokes
Enid Blyton?
Its most apparent in the reliant robin one, he makes like 4 jokes when he crashes about the people helping looking like such and such
And honestly, I think clarkson's exploding car is perfectly sensible
Old people driving are a maaaaassive risk
The statistics of wrecks increase exponentially to a ridiculous degree after 75
THAT'S THE TICKET, my good sir!
Same
"When have you ever experienced banging like that"
- very poor choice of words .
When the bombs dropped ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
At least she didn't say "This morning in the easy-bath"
Oh my
Excellent choice of words ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
😂😂
Jeremy is surprisingly very nice and respectful to the elderly lol
Jezza's about to be one today.. wouldn't want to make fun of them and have to think about it while struggling to take a shit without assistance or just trying to pick something up.
On that note though, I'm really quite sad to see Jeremy's health declining so much. I know it comes with age but I just cant help but feel sad to know he's coming to an end sometime and there's no stopping it.
Why's it surprising? He's always respectful to people older than him!
It just so happens most people are younger, so... 😅
Cause now he is one
Jeremy is the elderly 😂
Why is that surprising??
The old ladies were fab. Bless them.
steven Something about old British ladies just melts my heart. :)
Honestly I think this was all a talent scouting trip, the dry wit of an elderly woman is often comedy gold.
@@deathrooster14It is so wholesome to see their reactions to the car
so adorable :)
yeoldebiggetee probably not
Barbara: "I'll do it if it kills me!"
Hammond: "We'd rather it didn't, there a lot of paperwork....."
Where’d you get that mouse from?
I love top gear
Getting their priorities right
The mouse is on your bed
There all died know rip
I miss these knuckleheads. Absolutely hilarious and brilliant.
You can see them on Grand tour... On Amazon prime
What happened to Top Gear
@@jonathangregory9098 Jeremy got fired for punching a dude at work, they all followed him to make a new show called Grand Tour. Top Gear continued but sucks.
Yup wassil full of fun and a lot adventures full of comedy
I have seen all 4 seasons 20 times

I love how that ladies eyes get way bigger once handed the bag of chips!

You have to be British to watch this show
"Keep going, keep going*
*the car explodes*
"There you go!"
“You idiot!” 😂
"What?"
@Tristen Wu yes but it can't go on the motorway going the wrong way
@Tristen Wu we're alive everybody on that motorway is alive! This is the best solution ever
I just got you to 666 likes!
_"What about some Battenberg, or is that too German?"_
*_"It is too German"_*
As a German, i have one question.
What the hell is Battenberg :D
@@Flutschfingerbaron It's a cake, related to and originatet from the mariage of (German) Prince Ludwig Alexander von Battenberg (later: Mountbatten) to Princess Victoria in 1884.
Battenberg cake is exemplarily British, what makes the joke much more brilliant.

@@Flutschfingerbaron ich hatte auch keine ahnung
This segment was so unbelievably wholesome. I'm sure those three ladies had loads of fun
The grannies looked like they had a nice time :')
Definetly
Probably
*Hopefully*
2:20 Bomb goes off
3 old british ladies, unfazed, ‘_*just like the war*_’
Oh those bloody jerries are at it again aren’t they?
Is was adorable
Khurelbat Bayanbat Hun are planning something...
The most adorable wartime flashback ever.
*pulls gasmask out of handbag*
“When have you ever heard a banging like that?”
“When the bombs dropped”
T H E W A R
That lady knew instinctively what an explosion sounded like. She didn’t even hesitate.
THE WAR.
Or the Vietnamese speaking trees...
@@user-tt4mi1bz6n You do know that Britain was not involved in the Vietnam war
@@danitron4096 it was to a small extent. The British taught the Americans how to fight against guerilla tactics
4:33 - The casual delivery of "oh no, the constabulary" is just marvelous.
I'm actually impressed at how Jeremy made a self destruct system that works perfectly fine and no one was harmed, if Hammond is doing that then the car would basically turn into a moving nuclear warhead.
If James had made it, it would just be a little speaker that says "Excuse me loves, but you're going the wrong way."
Is it weird that I read that in May's voice?
you do know they're not in the car when the system activates, right? that this is an entertainment tv show. also that none of them make any of these stuff. of course you know that.
I can perfectly get how impressed you are, but what really infuriates me and makes me lose my faith in the future is that absolutely NO ONE has done anything to bring back British automotive industry, which would be a great chance to make quality products, far from British Leyland's (and then Austin-Rover's) disasters. And for extension, to ensure that virtually every EU country has its own automotive industry, so they don't have to rely on German and French manufacturers, basically
@@GraveUypo humor.
4:38 Gotta love the police officer gleefully smiling at the chance to see Jeremy Clarkson in person.
Think the smile might be more at the sheer absurdity of what they've created
@@LazarouDave Yeah thats probably it😂
LazarouDave bit of both
That could be the cat officer
@@kuzuma. BJ horseman?
hahahaha "Did you ever heard that bang before?" "When the bombs dropped!"
"Three quite elderly ladies in there have all had heart attacks."
+Jeroen Steens the meh iv seen it before look just made it all much more funny
+Jeroen Steens and on that bombshell...
+Jeroen Steens are you from the Netherlands i am and my name is jeroen as well
Jeroen vdP such a beautiful name ;p and yes I'm from the netherlands :D
To me having a picnic in a car like that when I'm 80 would be a pleasant experience.
Next to the highway near the busy rail
@@AJ-dx6bn yes
Tbh being 80+ and stuck in a home, I'd too be just grateful to get out. I think I'd be happy to eat a sandwich in a car if I had to sit in the nursing home 24/7
I know, nobody would probably see this, but what I like the most about it, is that those elderly people probably had a really nice day. Joking and laughing as they went to their activities.
I see it
The old girls are such good sports - frickin' ace
Rory Stead ikr
Are you speaking " English" ?
Please enter a name. What do you mean
I can't get over the "SQUEEE" noise everytime the brakes are put on! XDDD

Same, thats the pads saying change us or we will damage your rotors.

I wanna do this in my car
Imagine having it in your car, would it be funny or disastrous?
5:18 Clarkson enjoying his food just as much as the old ladies 😆 Hammond is the only one looking awkward lol
Hope these elderly women had an incredible life, they were so sweet and happy; if your grandparents are still here spend every moment you can with them
My grandparents were all abusive alcoholics. They didn't deserve any of my time.
"there you gooooo"
"you idiiiooooot"
"what?"
"well it's ruuuiiiiined"
i agree
And on that bombshell, back to the studio
Nicolas LEBLOND
lady: ''get me bottom around!''
Jeremy: ''should we get a nurse to do this?''
lady: '' I'L DO IT IF IT KILLS ME...''
+Nicolas LEBLOND play that at 0.5 speed it is glorious :)
SubSIL3NT Podcast How do you do that???
4:33 "Oh no the constabulary"
I love it that the reply was "not again"
Typical drill lyrics , these man brought drill to the mainstage
"Oh not again"
Those ladies were lovely. Really nice
I thought so too. They were perfect for this ridiculous experiment!
@5:30 - the look in Barbara’s eyes as she’s handed a treat...PURE LUST.
"when was the last time you heard banging like that?"
"The War...."
xD Brilliant!
We meet again
Wait how have they got the car then...
“You can’t have one Hammond, there’s a war on.”
In the bed room

Lll
"Ginger beer's a bit racey ?"
"Nooo Enid Blyton used to rub herself with it"
Razz0r ric Clarkson and his remarks 🤣👌
Right
That cracked me up
@@zubairibrahim3795 hilarious !
Any Famous Five book lmao
"I'll do it if it kills me." Gotta love those fierce, stubborn old British ladies!
when she opened the crisps for her I actually started crying how cute
It's probably not that the US version sucks. It's that nobody can simply top the UK version. Ever.
As an American US Top Gear sucks
I think the hosts simply lacked the charm we've come to expect, much like the Australian version, they smacked on an accent and figured that was it, but it was just terrible.. Old english men however, they have the mystical british charm =P
i like the uk version best too but i love hove the US version allways does like a roadtrip
And thats why the us version sucks ^^ The UK version does better stuff and is funnier (for example the episode in china)
how dos it suck really don't like it don't watch it and shut up

The 'Ehhhhhh' at 6:03 sounds like a great notification sound
😂😂
LMAO
Lmao
I love how the old ladies mentioned they lived through the war and when Jeremy and Richard went to get food, they said the battenburgs were "Too german". I love that attention to detail.
Did I mention this was a show about cars?
How the hell did they convince the authorities to allow them to drive that thing on public roads!
money
Yea they're on television. So they can do anything they want
If it passes the relevant roadworthiness tests then it's legal to drive in public - no matter how weird it looks.
For the exploding doors part though they probably had the road closed.
Billiamiscool i
Billiamiscool luck?
I LOVE how the ladies were so matter of fact when it came to the loud bangs.
They survived Hitler. Your airbag barely registers. Jezza was more startled than they were lol.
Jezza doesn't register loud bangs anymore he just thinks they are Hammond crashing again
@@Rambit he probably wonders if pepsi finally put an advert on the bottom of hammonds car
its because Jeremy Clarkson was born in the start of the 60's and he's never in military service, nor if any country invaded the UK after WW2. It would be the best way for him to experience the explosions and the banging sounds... Well until Top Gear.
I'm only 36 but i absolutely love spending time with the older folks! It really helps my perspective in life and frankly, they have more experience at it than i do, so i appreciate their perspective on matters. Plus, a lot of them are actually still young at heart. Far too many of them have been thrown away and forgotten by their own flesh and blood.
Old people are mostly boomers. Lucky you!
7:05 miss Hammond saying, "you idiot!"
5:20 Hammond represents me and 70 percent of people in that same situation
Thats true
Lol
He always has funny facial expression among the trio. He can act!
The grave stone on the roof lol!
+AIM_SideWinder I didn't notice that! I thought there was just a cat carrier!
jellyfishattack :D
yep...why they put it on the roof? for accidents? lol
lol
+Muhammadfirdaus Muhdfirdausbjumadi Because the "cat" "died" when it fell off the roof on the motorway.
The grandma's are so lovely. My heart can't handle all this cuteness
*grandmas
5:20 seeing that grandma chew for some reason gave me some wholesome feelings don’t know why
"Look at the speed we're going, three miles an hour look!"
I feel like being really old is like being really high all the time lol
Hahahah...No
+dumptuck It really does seem like it. Tehy seem to be impressed and ecstatic about everything.
***** Yea as well as being slow as shit and needing help doing anything...
+dumptuck so exactly like being high all the time
+dumptuck being british old lady)
The fine lady in the front sitting between the two lads reminds me of my grandma, which passed 13 years ago.
Needless to say I still miss her every day.
I think- just like the other three ladies attending- she would have had the same amount of fun.
Ich könnte mich so wegschreien vor lachen. Und das Beste ?
Die alten Damen machen mit denn sie haben jede Menge Humor. Wunderbar !!!
I first laughed when they called it the james
And now it's dead
lol, I love the "Tiddles" tomb on top of the car.
Love your channel
I do love your channel
+GliderGaming this ep
***** after they made the car they were on the highway the cat fell off the police came then they made the grave ( btw the cat was fake)
***** nope
“What is she called?”
“No, this is the James, The Rover James”
“Oh it’s a Rover, yes?”
1:18 “don’t overdo it; not with your back” 😂😂😂
“I will do it if it kills me”
“We rather it didn’t....it’s a lot of paperwork”
"When did you ever experience a banging like that ?"
"The war" :D
ohh I am on the ground
Those perverted Germans...
***** Hey! I'm not perverted! >:O
SNOREOFF im surprised the ladies didnt say ''during the war'' like uncle albert from ofah
SNOREOFF "And with that, back to the studio."
The Meme Vault It was the biggest war in human history that encompassed the entire world, resulted the deaths of more than 80 million people and changed everything. If WW1 was the "Great War" then WW2 definitely deserves the title of "The War".
7:04 those faces are priceless
“Don’t overdue it, not with your back.” That’s the greatest navigation commentary ever.
*overdo
"External rear mounted airbags" lllllllooooolllllllll😂
+Nusrat Wahid lol yeah but can give any women a heart attack easily
+Nusrat Wahid Can you explain what "lllllllooooolllllllll" means? I'm aware it means "laugh out loud" but doesn't spamming each letter make it "laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh out out out out out out out out out out loud loud loud loud loud loud loud"?

+Stormtrooper is one word pls respect Maybe there's a really bad echo

"I wet myself again"
Well that's what the water proof interior are for.
So the waterproof interior is actually for hammond😂
That's very well thought out
Rifht
@@SugmaNatsu No, for Hammond it's fireproof and with a roll cage.
6:42 asphalt 8 when u go the wrong way and u take too long to finish the race
Extremely sarcastic, yet extremely wholesome at the same time. I love this damn show.
"When have you ever experienced banging like that!" - "The war!" well, she might be right in both respects :D
Classic
visitied my grandma on thanksgiving who is 95. Great lady and found this clip very hilarious!!
Daniel Valmont She dead yet?
A Real Black Person lmao
Elderly women like those truly are gems, beautifully spirited
"You idiot! You destroyed the car!"
"We are alive, everyone else is alive. It´s the best solution. Now we cannot go the wrong direction"
"Yeah, because we can´t go anywhere!"
I like how they edited in a "crowbar being dropped on a concrete floor" sound effect at 7:00
Gets me every time
yep...it same
It’s a spanner not a crow bar
@@theswiss24 .. Yes it was a spanner, a 19mm Halfords combination spanner to be exact !! 👍
@@catbreath007Yup, definitely not a Snap-On, or you'd have heard someone cry after dropping it.
this car looks like its parents cars are siblings.
Gregorius LaFayette Instead of the Royal James it should be called the Royal Habsburg
Looks more like a dog to me
The Rover James von Habsburg
One of my favorite Top Gear sketches. I love how bent and worn out the front licence plate is by the end
I can only imagine how fun it must have been for the ladies to get out of the old folks home. A lot of old people get dumped by their families into care homes and as you can imagine, they are bored out of their faces.
"oh it's a rover" lol
A James!
A Fiat Multipla!
It is always so hilarious when Clarkson has to put on his reading glasses.
it just makes me smile sometimes when i think about this entire challenge that they called the car james
Props to the pyrotechnics/explosives and practical effects team for that sequence with the self destruct. That's bloody excellent
Self destruct: Best solution ever.
*my profile pic is the face he had when he thought of the idea*
Fish Cake Yes it is.
+Fish Cake yea but with just one hitch. Once done not only cant u go the wrong way down areas like a motorway but XD You cannot reverse back up the bloody entrance.
That is the biggest flaw with self destruct in a car.
In order to have it simple. Just limit self destruct to the engine and Viola. Simplistic.
FLAME4564 Yep
Malteaser I'm guessing you've changed your profile pic sinice writing this 😂
At first..I thought Hammonds' voice suddenly got much deeper at 3:09...
I love these old ladies. They're so sweet and wholesome and makes my day every time I watch this
As someone from Christchurch it was nice to see Christchurch High street
Oh No, it's the constabulary. LOL.
Warren Armstrong "Nothing to see here" - the irony.
Anyone else think the Sat Nav is probably the funniest thing in this video?
James 12345
Y of course.
Best sat nav ever!
*"If you wouldn't mind turning left that would be smashing"*
"Don't overdo it, not with your back"
No, the explosion at the end was
7:04 my favorite part of the episode
I love how Jeremy just pushes the rollator away. XD
6:57 Look at Hammond's face!
😬
"I've wet myself! Again!"
Best ending lmao
Your name and profile pic are cute
I love how, even with an exploded car, Hammond remembers to put the gear back into 1st lmao.
5:18
Every picnic ever....🔥🔥🔥
Just a reminder to cherish your elders (within the realms of possibility and respect for your mental health, of course).
You never know how long they can stay around, and when they're gone it always feels like something important is missing.
"Don't over do it. Not with your back"
Quote from The James ⛵
6:23 THAT SQUEAK IM CRYING
“When have you every heard a bang like that?” “The war” classic
"Experienced a banging"😉
0:04 *SQUEEK*
Every time the brakes are pressed, I die laughing my ass off! Greatest episode I ever saw on live tv back in the day!
It's so funny it sounds kinda sad.
Oh no it's the constablulary
Very British indeed
"Oiyup, want a cup o' tea with the lads at Gary's House on Friday night? It'll be bloody marvellous, I'm tellin' ya"
I wished so hard for them to test that front bumper...
Adonis Amarante they do on the show, they try to park it and test it out
Idk why but why does the grannies look so precious together 😊😊😍
4:34 "Oh no the constabulary!"
"Oh not again!" XD
"There you go!" :D
"... *YOU IDIOT!!!*" D:
WELL IT'S RUINED!
"Can't go on the motor way the wrong waaay!"
@Kalum 2002 we're alve everybody on that moter way is alive this is the best solution ever i wet my self again
I love the lady in the front.
Oh the roof's leaking. Nothing to worry about, I'll just get out the cups and buckets.
The spirit of the blitz
“When have you heard banging like that?”
“The war. When the bombs dropped.”
Blimey that’s funny.
1:05 - "Please, describe the personality of Jeremy Clarkson with single situation" ♡
I really love the part where Jeremy pushes that cart like 'well i don't care'
'I wet myself again!!' XD

Ummm.... ok then x3
Same here.....
+Masked Tactician Blake !?! What are you doing watching top gear ?
+Alfie Naylor hahah xD I can imagine they had to call for a recovery truck just to get it out off the sliproad xD
when ever i see old people or old photos and videos the only thing i can think is are they still alive was their life blissfull and other things am just emotional like that
"I'll do this if it kills me!"
"We'd rather not... it's a lot of paperwork."
100 percent british response.
