On this Sunday's show:

 

Captain Slow and the Bugatti Veyron

As you might have gathered, TG rather likes the Bugatti Veyron. Not least because the 1,001bhp monster has a claimed top speed of 253mph. But will it ever actually go that fast?

 

Armed with the Veyron's special 'go really fast' security key, James heads to the five-and-a-half-mile straight at VW's maximum security test track in Germany to find out.

 

In the news this week...

Find out why Porsche is keeping everyone in the dark about its new Cayenne, what the TVR house band sounds like, and why Prince Charles has lined his garage with petrol.

 

Also, the boys check out a 'supercar by George' (can you guess which one it is?), discuss their best and worst drives of the past six months, and reveal why undertakers will soon be out of business.

 

Hugh Grant in a Reasonably Priced Car

You've probably heard of him. Yes, he's a real, proper Hollywood star and, according to Jeremy, the very man for whom Star in a Reasonably Priced Car was conceived.

 

Hugh Grant - foppish Englishman extraordinaire and star of Notting Hill and Love Actually - ditches his Bentley GTC for our Chevrolet Lacetti and takes to the TG test track to show off his full repertoire of curiously endearing blasphemy.

 

The Three Coupe Challenge

Want a coupe for around £25,000? You're spoilt for choice, with the brand-new Audi TT, Alfa Romeo's gorgeous Brera and the manic-revving Mazda RX-8 all vying for your pocket money. After a heady row, the boys couldn't find a clear winner, so they decided to settle the debate in that time-honoured fashion: a good old game of golf.

 

Train Crash TV

It might surprise you, but no one's ever asked Top Gear to make a public information film. Until now. Jeremy dons a high-visibility jacket and a pair of hard hats to extol the dangers of pensioners, level crossings and, erm, high-visibility jackets. OK, so he got a bit confused. Basically it's all an excuse to pile an express train into a Renault Espace at high speed, with seriously spectacular results.

 

Cant wait for the Bugatti Veyron, this one sounds like a cracker!

 

Enjoy :excited:

I think his size saved him in the end, he is brilliant though, he's funny and it's great with the play they do on his teeth. He is a definite one of a kind and compliments Clarkson well with his love of Porsche and of course muscle cars. James is starting to come out of his shell also.

 

Looking forward to tonights episode though.
