  • The Africa Special is a Top Gear special in which Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May attempt to find the true source of the River Nile in secondhand estate cars on a budget.
    The team traveled through Central Africa to achieve this goal, starting in Uganda and traveling through Rwanda to reach their final destination in Tanzania.

    Nothing in the history or future of television can ever beat the moment where Jeremy is driving along and says " I wonder if we're heading towards that massive rain cloud.... Yeah we are, aren't we?" and the rain falls while the pre-chorus of the greatest piece of music every written fades in.
    Things might be as good as this but I can never honestly say that it could be better then how that was put together. I still get goosebumps every single time I see it. a tiny little piece of perfection in a show that was one of the most entertaining shows ever made.

    Polar expedition episode with Clarkson and May sharing the car journey to reach the magnetic North pole from Alaska and Hammond on a dog sleigh is impressive. Ranulph Fiennes who describes them how he reached the North and South pole alone and lost parts of his fingers due to frost bite gave them advice about how in the extreme cold you will get on one another's nerves as Clarkson and May did when trying to erect the tent for a night's sleep. At one period they decide to keep them selves warm whilst driving by drinking gin. The AA complained to the BBC as they were technically drink drivers but of course the show likes to push the boundaries and the theory was when are you going to find a police officer looking for drinking drivers at the North pole!
