[edit] In this Episode
Review: Jeremy Clarkson reviews the story of the Nissan Z cars and then goes on to take the Nissan 350Z for a drive. He finds it's a bad mish-mash of annoying features. He dislikes the steering, the stereo, the hard ride, the annoying engine, the interior quality... In fact, he dislikes all of it.
News: 350Z watch. Richard Hammond introduces the BMW X3. James May announces John Prescott buys another Jaguar. Renault Espace gets 5 stars in the EuroNCAP tests. Jeremy rants about the incoming government ban on mobile phones while driving and goes on about other, more dangerous distractions at the wheel.
Review: James and Richard take the VW New Beetle Cabrio, the Daihatsu Copen, the Audi A4 Cabriolet Diesel , the Mercedes CLK Convertible, and the Citroën Pluriel on a summer holiday to the wettest place in Britain to see which is the best convertible.
Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Supermodel Jodie Kidd talks about her car history and her experiences in the Gumball Rally. She shows she's a real car nut by beating Jay Kay's time and setting a new record of 1:48.
Greatest Car in the World: It's James May's turn and he champions a revolutionary car: the Citroën DS.
Challenge: Darth Vader, a Klingon warrior, a Cyberman, a Dalek and Emperor Ming (with a surprise appearance by The Doctor himself) battle it out in a Honda Civic in the Top Gear track to see which is the Fastest Master of the Universe. The Dalek couldn't even enter the car, so it was last. Fifth was Emperor Ming at 1:49 after crashing the car. In fourth place came The Doctor at 1:43. Third was the Klingon with a time of 1:42. Second was Darth Vader with 1:37. Finally, the winner was the Cyberman.
Studio Segment: Jeremy and Richard present some photographs of carbage sent by the viewers.
Main Review: The exciting Alfa Romeo 147 GTA comes to the track and Jeremy has some fun in it. Despite being more powerful than a Ford Focus RS and a Volkswagen Golf R32, its lack of any clever means of putting the power on the road make much slower than these two round the track, and The Stig only manages a time of 1:35.6.
