Plus big Jason from, err, was it Channel 4's Driven with Penny Mallory? There was an ITV car show too. Not sure who was on what but I'm sure Mike Brewer was on Driven too. There was a chap called Mike Rutherford as well who I think was on the ITV one - another cheeky wheeler dealer type and not a member of Genesis. And another Jason who was lanky, Irish and wore glasses.
Ever since I saw this episode live back in the early 2000’s I’ve always been amazed how good they got the ejector seat to almost miss the body of the car perfectly! Hats off to ED! Also, I’ve always loved JASON DAWE, nice to see him make a small Cameo here! Miss you Jason!
Amazing really, that entire first series of the Clarkson/Wilman Top Gear has been relegated to obscurity because, to avoid confusion among audiences wondering where James May is, it's been deliberately removed from the sales packages available to broadcasters/streamers.
This is the sort of car Q gives to all the other 00 Agents. So much time is spend giving Bond his latest ride that 003 is just going to have to settle with the bulletproof tea tray and tiny ball release function.
5:58 slow motion, targets head was pulled off or retracted independently of the "projectiles". I wish I could believe how well/outlandish their stunts work out sometimes...most of the time they do a really good job of making it believable.
Never saw any of this series, don't really know why not. Watched the old ones, and the later ones with Clarkson, Hammond and May, but this one somehow passsed me by.
I used to own a Sterling 827SLi, it was a fantastic car, so cool looking but the electronics for the headlamps were wonky. But the only issue I ever had.
For armor I would have used the US and Canada idea of Ice with saw dust kept frozen with chillers. You can easily hold back a bunch of rounds with that and is not as heavy as steal, easy to replace and fix, and well very very cheap.
Concrete is too heavy. I am looking for something lighter than concrete although if you had no other option, could concrete and saw dust be a very powerful armor?
Thing is all these could be useful- 1st one use ball bearings or spikes, second use a steel plate, 3rd use pepper balls 4th attach the button near the wheel.
The Ancient Ones remember a time when a man called Jason would appear, and James May was just the distant legend from a lost age when the world was ruled by a man called William Woollard. A wise and just ruler who placed a firm but respectful foot on the bumpers of our lives.
This is brilliant! Was it broadcast? I can imagine what the censors would have said here in Oz bloody hell Jack Murray going to start throwing jelly out of the Kingswood again! Brilliant. Should have done this to the SD1!
This just goes to show how far top gear has come. If they had done this in a later series, the car would've had proper guns and rockets, and they probably would've blown up a building with it.
"My! You're a tall one!"
"Thank you, double-oh-three and a half."
Jeremy must have loved that.

He has, but uncredited. The double decker cars in the top gear vs top gear australia and the german motoring show were built by him. He´s a genius

The one time they bring Ed on the show is also the one time that the car they modify actually works.
Edd looks so young in this clip.
Well, Jeremy and Hammond do too.
Release date
11/17/02
They look like teenagers lol
And James looks so... fat. And Cornish. And seems to respond to the name of "Jason" for some reason. Of course, the lesser spotted Jason Dawe.
@@FIBagent its actually 18 years ago, but RUclips wasn't around in 2002.
@@uselessaccount9346 Nope. The original release date was on 2002-11-17.
Rumor has it that ed made more money on this top gear skit than his entire time with wheeler dealers
Wouldn't surprise me. He always seemed overworked and underappreciated on that show.
Who was the target can anyone tell me please

Edd "The Mechanical Wizard" China once again helping out the Top Gear crew!
I think Ed should be Q in the next James Bond movie.
+tjf4375 And Jeremy should be Bond. That would teach the BBC.
+Hevyupgrade The name is Bond, Jeremy Bond
+tjf4375 I think Ed should get a raise
+tjf4375 The thing is, he actually does look more suited to Q than the current kid, I'm sure he can do serious
now that's an idea.
Edd should have been featured in more Top Gear episodes, he knows really a lot about cars.
Yea he should.
Edd China can join Top Gear...that would be cool
Interceptor810 Oh god, no.
*****
why not? I love him on Wheeler Dealers
Interceptor810 He's better off doing that.
Interceptor810 ya the both guys can from Wheeler dealers can join top gear
Mukul shah Mike Brewer?
Man, I wish this Ed guy would have his own show. Like buying used, repairing and improving cars that would be so great!
There is a pilot episode on RUclips where he has his own show. Think it's from 2017 or 18. Was hopping for a follow up though.
They'd probably make him work with some mockney wide boy.
The double-deck cars in Top Gear (series 11 episode 6, British v Germans) were also manufactured by Edd China.
...and was it Tiff Needell, the 4th driver? tell you what, such complicated compilation that stage, might say...
He did the aussie ones first, even better esp when you consider he did some of them upside down
Plus big Jason from, err, was it Channel 4's Driven with Penny Mallory? There was an ITV car show too. Not sure who was on what but I'm sure Mike Brewer was on Driven too.

@@fxckrio just kiddin!😅😅
This is so Cool, Ed is such a nice guy! I think he's the only guy who could replace the old trio and still make the show enjoyable.
He and Rowan Atkinson. And a random guy they actually fit with :D

"It sort of looks like a tea tray"
"Well it is a tea tray, but it's a bulletproof tea tray" 😂
“They’re the best sort”
"Came with a trolley as well which was quite nice" 😂
I used to have a Rover 800. The seats were the most comfortable of any car that I've had and that includes RR and Jaguar.
5:32 i like that the top of the rocket is a fuel filter
Ejecto Seato, cuz!
i love this button!
Big Cazza no.
Hey Brian! It worked!
stay on your toes, putos! 😂

No way! Ed from Wheeler Dealers and Richard Hammond together on the same show??? Wow.
I love Edd, he's an amazing mechanic

“Fluffy dice?!”

Ed China, the man, the legend! Amazing mechanic and designer :D
i'd like to see a high budget or no limits Bond car build :) with REAL weapons and stuff
checkout hacksmith's video in that
Colin Furze did a pretty good one too
5:59 Headshot!
I think you mean H-Eddshot!!!!!
The head folds down on a hinge before the firework hits
edd china invented an engine powered sofa
michael jagger it was a engine powered bathroom
the mre nerd He did both and more.

Okay. I read about the bathroom in GWR 2012
+michael jagger Ha ha yes he did! That was the one with the standard lamp and the drinks holder, work of genius!
Its road regal too.
Edd China is the best mechanic in the world!
took me a minute but after hearing ed speak it finally hit me that I know this guy! like all bbc shows everyone starts out somewhere
wow, Jame's has lost a lot of weight since the start of this...
yes I know it's not May but it's weird not seeing him
James may smokes
A16AdamWalker that’s Jason Dawe, this was before May was brought back
I met Ed at the Practical Classics NEC show last year, he's a great guy
Wish they made another version of top gear and did bonkers stuff like this again, it’s entertainment at its best.
Just call it ‘top of the gears ⚙️’
R.I.P Top Gear
i agree

he wasnt even in series 1 though???
It’s sad how difficult it is to get ahold of. I’ve never even watched it all in full, just episodes that have popped up online over the years.
I think they still have the older episodes on Amazon Prime.@@horrorfanandy4647

They also used fireworks shooting up from the ground to make it flashier. It's a tv show, they dress everything up to make it more entertaining.
to be honest for £300 thats a bloody good car
Omg that’s our ed , what a class mechanic ! Didn’t think he ever came on top gear wow
Brilliant! The Giraffe and Hampster together in one video.
The spoiler retracting is so cool.
more like airbrake
Ejecto Seato CUZ!!!
Tien Luu I was waiting for that comment!
I love this button!
Crazy ass white boy
wheeler dealers is mint
The first Top Gear video I ever watched
ED is brilliant !!
Thank you RUclips for showing me this 10 YEARS LATER ......
I'll see your 10 years and raise you 11.
It is a blessing James replaced Jason ! Just need to hear that James crazy laughter from time to time.
Everything worked wonderfully!
01:55 Jason Dawe was such a villain they killed him off after one series.
The brains behind a few Top gear builds
Isn't the guy in the lab coat from wheeler dealers.
true
Yes, the guy with the paintballgun too
Yeah that’s him
Startrekforever nots not him the other guy is mike brewer and the guy firing is some Jason yute
ED putting a face to all the work he did on top gear!
"Well, and obviously normally You might want to use maybe boiling oil, fish fingers, that sort of thing" PERFECT! :-D
Never saw any of this series, don't really know why not. Watched the old ones, and the later ones with Clarkson, Hammond and May, but this one somehow passsed me by.
Me too!
I used to own a Sterling 827SLi, it was a fantastic car, so cool looking but the electronics for the headlamps were wonky. But the only issue I ever had.
I love Jason's "ah Shucks" click at the tea tray 🤣
“If you are wondering where everyone’s is at they have backed off”
**camera cuts to everyone compacted into the opposite corner of the room**
Excellent. The ejection seat looks like the one from a Mythbusters episode in 2006.
Edd is awesome, best part of Wheelers Dealers.
Wheeler Dealers!
Funny because he's 6'7 and they paired him with Hammond xD
Honestly every Top Gear presenter is above 6ft
Top Gear seems like it would be so much fun to be on back then
Good job edd
What Top Gear should have done was to have Ed repair and modify the cars they used for their challenges, that would have been interesting.
For armor I would have used the US and Canada idea of Ice with saw dust kept frozen with chillers. You can easily hold back a bunch of rounds with that and is not as heavy as steal, easy to replace and fix, and well very very cheap.
1. Its called pycrete
2. Its was British idea at the end of ww2
Yeah what I am trying to find out is how can your replace the ice with another substance that works similar to ice but not need to be kept cool.
+Jorge D Martinez Mayol concrete
Concrete is too heavy. I am looking for something lighter than concrete although if you had no other option, could concrete and saw dust be a very powerful armor?
I love the sound of the ejector seat blowing through the roof.
Hi, how are you ?
Pretty good. You?
Probably the best use for a Rover 820, ever!
I agree
AWESOME CAR! The ejector seat reminds me a bit of the one MythBusters did.
Love seeing old top gear stuff I've never seen before, lol it's like Christmas opening up the best present ever lol
"There's balls everywhere!" xD
Hello
U nasty boii
@2:19 Jason: *snap*
Ah, so he does.
Ed me ole China, absolute legend....... Mike b if your watching, ye blew it son!
Thing is all these could be useful-
1st one use ball bearings or spikes, second use a steel plate, 3rd use pepper balls 4th attach the button near the wheel.
RIP Top Gear and Wheeler Dealers
Wheeler dealer wtill shows doesnt it? Or has it done a top gear
oscozo 9853 ed China isn't on the show anymore
Edd China +Colin furze? Mechanical heaven!
The mechanic in the actually good Wheeler Dealers doing James bond stuff
Best collab ever
5:57 my god, john Prescott's head's been blown of
So this is the guy who did all the hard work for all the challenges

I will reiterate and what everybody else has said. It's Edd China. Legendary. He needs his own car or mechanical tinkering show
Wow, Brian Cox has grown!!
Oh my the last time I watched this was before I watched wheeler dealers and now I see edd China no way
Absolutely love Ed!
This just goes to show how far top gear has come. If they had done this in a later series, the car would've had proper guns and rockets, and they probably would've blown up a building with it.
Edd? Don't you mean "Q"? Beautiful vid. Concise and thrilling is key to bring it to a satisfactory end. Thumbs up.
Granted, anyone looks tall next to Richard Hammond
this is entertainment. the reason why people watch top gear. not only the cars but also proper entertainment
WHEELA DEALAS!
haha! I love the clipboard! It has a stick figure!
Ejecto-Seato cuz!!!
edd china FTW. found him on wheeler dealers here on yt. here he is in his prime. this was EPIC
It's hilarious how Hammond keeps interrupting Ed
Hammond is charisma personified.
