    The good old days when the mishaps on Top Gear were genuine, unscripted moments. My favorite highlight from this episode: The moment Jeremy realizes he's overshot the pier and the truck is in trouble, and Richard is crippled with laughter both at the fact that he cannot believe what is happening, and that he is in the middle of it. The cameraperson can't even seem to believe it, either! Endlessly watchable human moment, this.

    I've only caught a couple segments of this, and other bits with Captain Slow involved. This one, and then the one where he and Gordon Ramsey have a cook off. Both times he gets ridiculed repeatedly by his competitiors, and both times he manages to come out on top. He seems to me like embodiment of the tortoise from the old children's story. He gets taunted, joked at, underestimated, but at the end he seems to come out on top of a lot of the times. Is this a common thing, or did I just happen to catch the two things that James May just kicked ass at?

    • @akaianc
      @akaianc 10 лет назад +5

      It happens often enough for people to have noticed that he might actually not be crazy with his decisions for these challenges, but I wouldn't say that he comes out on top more often than not. And there are definitely times where his ideas genuinely are terrible (see the off-road mobility scooters for a good example of this).

      May was the underdog in challenges pretty much every time. His most memorable "tortoise became the winner in the end" moment for me was in the Patagonia special. He chose the Lotus Esprit and he got mocked for choosing the most unreliable car and Clarkson even predicted the Lotus wont last till the end without breaking down. Lo and behold, the Lotus was the most reliable car in that trip and helped the other cars got out of trouble a few times.

      @@manwell235 Daaang this was 8 years ago. I've watched a LOT more Top Gear since then, and I've also watched Grand Tour. I've seen where his patience and pacing has paid off, and I've seen other times where it's just been a hindrance to the group. I've also seen times where James May had enough of being the slow one and tries to actually race to win. I've seen it end in disaster too, jesus christ that last special where they were driving through that tunnel. It's incredible he didn't suffer anything worse than what he did.

    They should have included the bit in the studio straight after the film, where Jeremy insists he was the winner because he reached the pontoon first, regardless of the the slight steering error at the end, and James says something like "I put it to you that if you went on a cruise and by the time you arrived back in port the boat was upside down.... you'd probably want a refund!", had me in stitches at the time.

    they honestly have the best jobs on this planet: drive EXTREMELY nice cars, get to go at great speeds, and drift, and everything, and they get to do random challenges such as this one, i wish i was on top gear, id love it so much

    A lot of Top Gear (As we all know) is fake. However i still like to believe the ending to this one isn't and that Jezza did stuff it up. Their reactions seem more real then during other stunts.
