Noticed her too.....but later on, when James was talking, not the News bit, later - he was standing, and right behind him was a Blonde, with a Cap like Hat.;-)
Mediocre episode. Nothing special Nothing particularly bad. Liked the UAE bit and tiny Hammond in the oversized jeep. Guest wasn't all that much. Felt like there was something missing. But even on an off day it's still entertaining.
Yeah, I somewhat agree. I'm no fan of Jack W either, but I didn't think it was that bad and it was interesting to see how far he got considering he had little driving experience.
The pizza blowtorch bit was unneeded and pointless, and so was the last bit with the tablecloth when it's obvious that motorbike ad wasn't real. The UAE part was interesting and I missed half of May's bit, so I might have another look at that.
All that said, it wasn't the worst I've seen and it was nice that each of them had their own 'project' to do.
I thought that the police cars in Dubai was a joke but they really exist
No doubt they have special police cars, a lot of countries have them. I remember hearing about a Gallardo police car in Italy! But I doubt they're common or used every day.

What I found strange was the fact that there was no standardisation. They simply had every supercar available. I can see why we have BMW 5 series on our motorways as they have the speed to catch up with most cars and the beef to stop them. However I'm not sure what they will do when they catch up with somebody in a Lamborghini. Plus the fact tht if there's more than 2 people in the car that they've caught, they'll have to call out another car to pick them up.

I just cannot see the practicality tbh.
They will have given top gear permission to film and brought out all their fanciest police cars to show off That's my theory.
I'd be amazed if they used nothing but supercars for their police force! As you say, they'd be impractical- they'd probably run out of fuel during chases

Someone mentionned earlier that if people on the road have supercars, then the police should too to be able to catch them. But that's not how they catch them in most cases; they set-up a road block further down. Must be even more effective when dealing with expensive car; then again in Dubai, money seem to come out of their ears. Of course they would need another vehicule to arrest the people, but i would assume it's standard procedure to call for back-up in any police pursuit.
So yes, these cars are extravagant. But it must help diffuse situations. Even when i did do it, i'm not happy when i get a ticket. If i got one from a police driving a Lambo or something, i would probably go back to my inner little boy and go 'wow man, how fast does it go?
In the credits at the end, they thank the 'Dubai car museum'; must be for the cars at the end with monster truck tires and 8 wheels.
If you go to Dubai or Abu Dhabi then you will see that they really don't care about practicality. It's all about having the biggest, most expensive and the flashiest of everything.

Clarkson has covered some of that before in Extreme Machines.
I can't remember if the jeep was there but there was a giant old US pickup truck and a Globe.

He's about as funny as a wet weekend in Slough. It's as if he's only on the planet to make Russell Brand look talented.
She was STUNNING. Couldn't keep my eyes off her. Hubba hubba.
Haha, are you serious? She's totally average
One man's average is another man's sleepless night. OMG she's perfect.
I would
We'll leave Katie Price to the rest of them

So everyone who doesn't share your taste in women, must like Katie Price? That's not a very mature attitude now is it?
A girl next door type is better than Katie Price, but if I saw that woman on the street, I wouldn't notice her, that's all.
Should have gone to specsavers :cool:
Yes, you should ^_^
...hence we have Volvo and Ford Focus estate cars. And the occasional Vauxhall Astra.
Ah! I see, I wasn't really paying attention but in that case it makes perfect sense.
Wonder how many job application forms they receive each week!!

In addition to the cars that we saw, they also have an Aston Martin and a Bentley.
I wonder if a rich sheikh is donating them when he gets the new models.

They didn't stop though - that brunette was gorgeous.
