1
00:00:28,940 --> 00:00:30,660
Thank you! Relax, relax.
2
00:00:32,580 --> 00:00:34,180
Hello, and welcome to Top Gear.
3
00:00:34,180 --> 00:00:36,700
Which, tonight, is an
electric car special.
4
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:39,020
Yes, we're officially on trend...
5
00:00:39,020 --> 00:00:40,420
..it's a strange feeling.
6
00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:42,020
I can see that, mate. Look at you.
7
00:00:42,020 --> 00:00:44,580
What are them on your feet?
You've got bananas on your feet!
8
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:48,140
So, electric vehicles...
9
00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:50,340
..they got their positives,
they've got their negatives.
10
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:52,740
Battery joke there for...
That was just for you, mate.
11
00:00:52,740 --> 00:00:54,300
But I'm going to throw it
out there...
12
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:57,580
..who here drove here today in an
electric car? Anyone?
13
00:00:57,580 --> 00:00:58,700
Yeah. Yeah?
14
00:00:58,700 --> 00:00:59,820
Oh! You, madam? Yes.
15
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:02,180
Which one?
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.
16
00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:04,100
Oh, dearie me... Ooh, look what
you've done to him.
17
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:05,420
Look what you've done to him!
18
00:01:05,420 --> 00:01:07,820
I don't want to be rude but...
I mean...
19
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:11,260
I mean, do you not feel like
you've given up on life?
20
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:15,180
Oh-ho! Yeah, well done on not
being rude!
21
00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:17,900
I do apologise. He gets like this.
22
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:20,420
Yeah, that's why I'm not convinced
with electric cars.
23
00:01:20,420 --> 00:01:22,860
Because, to get an interesting one,
you've got to spend a fortune
24
00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:24,780
on a Rimac or a Tesla Roadster.
25
00:01:24,780 --> 00:01:28,140
And then the ones which are
affordable, like a Leaf or a Zoe...
26
00:01:28,140 --> 00:01:29,900
..let's be honest, they're just
plain boring.
27
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:31,300
Yeah, no, you've got a point.
28
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:34,980
So we reckon what the world needs
is a budget electric sports car.
29
00:01:34,980 --> 00:01:37,300
And rather than sit around
waiting for one to show up,
30
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:39,900
we each went out and built our own.
31
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:48,900
Sports car of the future, you say?
32
00:01:48,900 --> 00:01:50,580
Here it is!
33
00:01:50,580 --> 00:01:54,620
Yes, it's a battery-powered
Triumph Spitfire.
34
00:01:56,180 --> 00:02:01,100
What I've done here is, I've kept
those classic British lines,
35
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:04,940
and I've ditched that rather wheezy
4-cylinder engine and replaced
36
00:02:04,940 --> 00:02:08,300
it with BMW i3 batteries.
37
00:02:09,540 --> 00:02:12,300
This car used to have
well under 100 horsepower,
38
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:15,860
it now has 260 horsepower!
39
00:02:16,940 --> 00:02:19,020
Whoa, look at it accelerate!
40
00:02:22,540 --> 00:02:24,700
To see what the others had
come up with,
41
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:26,940
I'd found the perfect place
to meet up.
42
00:02:26,940 --> 00:02:32,940
A disused fossil-fuel-burning power
station on the outskirts of Telford.
43
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:34,980
Ah, McGuinness is here.
44
00:02:34,980 --> 00:02:36,180
Look at his face.
45
00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:38,340
I can see he looks impressed
already. Look at him.
46
00:02:38,340 --> 00:02:40,500
He knows greatness when he sees it.
47
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:44,460
Ha-ha!
48
00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:48,300
Behold...
49
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:50,060
..the electric Spitfire.
50
00:02:50,060 --> 00:02:52,420
Forget the electric Spitfire
for a second...
51
00:02:52,420 --> 00:02:55,100
..why have you come dressed
as Spider-Man's grandad?
52
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:57,820
I'm getting in character -
'70s sports car...
53
00:02:57,820 --> 00:02:59,620
..relive the '70s sports car look.
54
00:02:59,620 --> 00:03:02,620
You appear to have made a car for
people who are yet to reach puberty.
55
00:03:02,620 --> 00:03:04,300
W-what is it?
56
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:09,700
That is a Nissan Leaf GTI
Nismo Turbo Sport R.
57
00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:10,780
Have you finished?
58
00:03:10,780 --> 00:03:12,540
GTI, as well.
59
00:03:12,540 --> 00:03:16,820
A weird-looking Nissan Leaf...
thing on the outside.
60
00:03:16,820 --> 00:03:18,020
Underneath?
61
00:03:18,020 --> 00:03:19,380
A Nissan Leaf.
62
00:03:19,380 --> 00:03:23,540
Nissan have spent £9 billion
developing that car.
63
00:03:23,540 --> 00:03:24,620
Right.
64
00:03:24,620 --> 00:03:27,260
What am I going to do to add to
that? I've left it as is.
65
00:03:27,260 --> 00:03:29,980
So you've taken a slow Nissan Leaf,
66
00:03:29,980 --> 00:03:31,460
and not made it any faster?
67
00:03:31,460 --> 00:03:32,900
I've made it more stylish.
68
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:35,700
Now, you've taken a Spitfire!
Yeah.
69
00:03:35,700 --> 00:03:37,420
And what have you done to that?
70
00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:39,700
BMW i3 batteries.
71
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:41,780
The motor from a...
72
00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:43,460
..from a bus,
but we'll gloss over that.
73
00:03:43,460 --> 00:03:46,220
A BMW i3 battery...
74
00:03:46,220 --> 00:03:48,660
..on a Spitfire?
Well, IN the Spitfire.
75
00:03:48,660 --> 00:03:53,020
Which is a 1970s car, with 1970s
brakes and handling.
76
00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:55,300
Let's just stick to the way
they look at the moment.
77
00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:58,380
I'm reliving the glory
years of the sports car!
78
00:03:58,380 --> 00:04:00,660
I can't take you serious
with them gloves on.
79
00:04:00,660 --> 00:04:03,260
You can't take me seriously,
and you've just turned up in that?
80
00:04:03,260 --> 00:04:05,020
You're 45 years old, man!
81
00:04:07,540 --> 00:04:08,980
Oh, my God.
82
00:04:08,980 --> 00:04:10,660
Flintoff's here.
83
00:04:10,660 --> 00:04:11,900
Oh, I quite like that.
84
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:13,100
Hi, lads!
85
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:14,420
What is it, though?
86
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:16,900
It's a bloody Subaru Brat.
It's really cool.
87
00:04:18,820 --> 00:04:21,060
If he touches my...
Don't touch the coachwork!
88
00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:23,100
What? Don't touch the coachwork.
89
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:25,660
Not interested in that.
Have a look at this!
90
00:04:25,660 --> 00:04:27,300
The Mute.
91
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:31,140
It's a Subaru Brat on top,
Tesla underneath.
92
00:04:31,140 --> 00:04:33,700
How much power?
Oh, do you want to know?
93
00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:35,140
Go on.
94
00:04:35,140 --> 00:04:37,060
500 brake horsepower, Chris, yes!
Oh, come on!
95
00:04:37,060 --> 00:04:39,460
How have you managed that? In that?!
Tesla motor!
96
00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:41,380
"In that?" It's not "that"...
97
00:04:41,380 --> 00:04:42,500
..it's The Mute!
98
00:04:42,500 --> 00:04:44,580
So what's in the back of it?
Tesla batteries.
99
00:04:44,580 --> 00:04:46,740
Tesla batteries?
Well, I got half a Tesla battery,
100
00:04:46,740 --> 00:04:48,420
I couldn't afford a whole one,
just a half.
101
00:04:48,420 --> 00:04:50,140
Why is it called The Mute?
102
00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:52,100
Do you want to do this,
Chris, or me? OK.
103
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:54,500
In Australia, a pick-up's called
a ute. Yeah?
104
00:04:54,500 --> 00:04:56,300
It's electric, therefore,
it's silent,
105
00:04:56,300 --> 00:04:57,620
therefore it's the...
Mute!
106
00:04:57,620 --> 00:05:00,420
So it's neither one thing
nor the other?
107
00:05:00,420 --> 00:05:02,260
What do you mean "one thing
nor the other?"
108
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:04,060
Well, it's not a pick-up, it's
not a sports car.
109
00:05:04,060 --> 00:05:06,300
It's a sports car, Paddy. It's how
the Aussies do sports cars.
110
00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:08,100
You're driving a spork.
111
00:05:09,140 --> 00:05:12,220
What? You've stuck some plastic
on a Nissan Leaf.
112
00:05:12,220 --> 00:05:14,540
Have you got eyes?!
113
00:05:14,540 --> 00:05:16,940
Unfortunately.
Look at it, it's beautiful!
114
00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:18,940
It's what young people want.
115
00:05:18,940 --> 00:05:22,100
OK, how much power has yours got?
Stop deflecting.
116
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:23,740
Hundred... brake horsepower.
117
00:05:23,740 --> 00:05:24,820
A hundred?
118
00:05:24,820 --> 00:05:26,060
That's 500 horsepower, really?
119
00:05:26,060 --> 00:05:27,780
In a Subaru Brat?
500 horsepower, yeah.
120
00:05:27,780 --> 00:05:29,420
260, and I weigh half as much
as you.
121
00:05:29,420 --> 00:05:31,020
So it's between these two, isn't it?
122
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:32,100
No, no, no...
123
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:35,220
..because mine's been done
by Nissan.
124
00:05:35,220 --> 00:05:37,300
Yours has been done by you two...
125
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:38,660
..in a shed.
126
00:05:40,060 --> 00:05:42,420
It was time to put our
sports cars...
127
00:05:42,420 --> 00:05:43,820
Bang!
128
00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:45,380
..to the test.
129
00:05:45,380 --> 00:05:46,780
See you on the other side.
130
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:49,860
And with a disused power station
at our disposal,
131
00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:52,180
we agreed to a fastest-lap battle
132
00:05:52,180 --> 00:05:54,820
around its network of
deserted roads.
133
00:05:56,020 --> 00:05:57,980
It's a bit temperamental.
134
00:05:57,980 --> 00:06:00,140
I'll give you a hand. You're all
right, Paddy, I'll do it.
135
00:06:00,140 --> 00:06:02,460
No, it's all right, I've got it,
lads. No, come on, Paddy!
136
00:06:02,460 --> 00:06:04,260
No, no, it's forced,
it's just a little bit...
137
00:06:04,260 --> 00:06:06,300
What's this?! Yeah, it just...
138
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:08,260
Go on, get in. Yeah.
139
00:06:08,260 --> 00:06:10,100
It's supposed to do that!
140
00:06:11,220 --> 00:06:12,420
Anyway...
141
00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:14,260
..back to the fastest-lap battle.
142
00:06:14,260 --> 00:06:16,860
And first up to the start line
was Flintoff
143
00:06:16,860 --> 00:06:20,300
and his 500 horsepower "Mute".
144
00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:22,740
OK, Freddie, here we go.
145
00:06:22,740 --> 00:06:23,900
3,
146
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:25,140
2,
147
00:06:25,140 --> 00:06:26,220
1...
148
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:27,420
..go!
149
00:06:28,420 --> 00:06:29,460
Oh!
150
00:06:30,540 --> 00:06:34,580
Off the line quick.
It's got proper grunt, hasn't it?
151
00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:37,100
Look at it go! Go on!
152
00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:40,580
Silence, in motorsport, normally
means death. Yeah.
153
00:06:42,340 --> 00:06:43,940
Oh, geez...
154
00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:47,660
Got some locking up a little bit,
the front wheels.
155
00:06:47,660 --> 00:06:50,100
I can feel the weight behind me.
156
00:06:50,100 --> 00:06:51,300
Mind the barrier...
157
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:53,900
Come on, go, go, go!
158
00:06:56,420 --> 00:06:58,380
I tell you what...
159
00:06:58,380 --> 00:06:59,780
..that was all right!
160
00:06:59,780 --> 00:07:02,860
Seemed quick, though. It was quick,
but it was lacking drama.
161
00:07:02,860 --> 00:07:04,940
Silent motorsport is nothing.
That's what I'm saying.
162
00:07:04,940 --> 00:07:07,300
We need speakers... giving us noise.
163
00:07:09,060 --> 00:07:10,500
That's just showing off.
164
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:11,820
OK, Fred,
165
00:07:11,820 --> 00:07:14,620
you just posted a 110.56,
166
00:07:14,620 --> 00:07:21,020
which is the fastest-ever lap of the
abandoned power station short loop.
167
00:07:22,540 --> 00:07:25,180
Next up - McGuinness's Leaf.
168
00:07:25,180 --> 00:07:27,740
Looks terrible.
Oh, it's awful. Awful.
169
00:07:27,740 --> 00:07:30,340
You look like you're going to go
and ram-raid an Argos in that.
170
00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:31,780
Look at the state of you!
171
00:07:31,780 --> 00:07:32,860
Start me off.
172
00:07:32,860 --> 00:07:35,460
And can we make sure Harris is doing
the stopwatch,
173
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:37,060
cos I don't trust Flintoff.
174
00:07:37,060 --> 00:07:39,420
Fair enough. OK.
175
00:07:39,420 --> 00:07:41,020
3, 2,
176
00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:42,380
1, go!
177
00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:45,900
He's jumped the start.
That was a false start, Paddy!
178
00:07:45,900 --> 00:07:48,140
Oh, he's skidding around...
He's having a go!
179
00:07:50,260 --> 00:07:52,260
Wahey! Here we go!
180
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:55,260
Oh, dear God.
181
00:07:55,260 --> 00:07:57,340
Through there... that's it, that's
got it!
182
00:07:57,340 --> 00:08:00,140
Come on, Leaf! Do not let me down.
183
00:08:01,420 --> 00:08:03,820
It's like being on the set
of Blade Runner!
184
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:08,140
Silent assassin, this car.
185
00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:09,660
Oh, hang on, he's going fast here...
186
00:08:09,660 --> 00:08:11,140
I think he's got me!
187
00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:14,900
He's done you by five seconds there.
188
00:08:14,900 --> 00:08:16,220
Did he go the right way?
189
00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:22,180
Eh? Give me the good news.
190
00:08:22,180 --> 00:08:24,740
It's a 105.22.
191
00:08:24,740 --> 00:08:26,300
You've beaten him by 5 seconds.
192
00:08:26,300 --> 00:08:28,180
Come and look at his face.
193
00:08:28,180 --> 00:08:29,700
Do not let him move.
194
00:08:29,700 --> 00:08:32,220
Let me out of my car!
195
00:08:32,220 --> 00:08:35,100
Oh, my God. I'm sorry for you here,
I really am.
196
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:37,500
Hundred brake horsepower, you say?!
197
00:08:37,500 --> 00:08:39,340
500 horsepower?!
198
00:08:39,340 --> 00:08:41,180
Five seconds, lad!
199
00:08:41,180 --> 00:08:44,860
You took one hell of a beating!
200
00:08:44,860 --> 00:08:46,580
500 horsepower.
201
00:08:46,580 --> 00:08:48,460
Did you only use 100 of them?
202
00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:50,380
I don't need you, as well, do I?
203
00:08:52,420 --> 00:08:56,100
All right, gentlemen, prepare to
watch how it should be done.
204
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:57,380
Stringbacks look good.
205
00:08:57,380 --> 00:08:58,660
Are you ready?
206
00:08:58,660 --> 00:09:00,820
3, 2, 1...
207
00:09:00,820 --> 00:09:02,060
..go!
208
00:09:02,060 --> 00:09:04,180
Look at how low it is at the back!
209
00:09:04,180 --> 00:09:05,980
He's going nowhere! Skidding!
210
00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:09,220
It sounds like a Scalextric!
211
00:09:13,060 --> 00:09:14,420
Oh, a bit of oversteer there!
212
00:09:16,860 --> 00:09:19,060
Woohoo! My wipers are on!
213
00:09:20,740 --> 00:09:23,260
Oh... Oh! Oh!
214
00:09:23,260 --> 00:09:25,620
Why does he have
to skid all the time?
215
00:09:29,020 --> 00:09:30,420
Please stop, please stop!
216
00:09:31,820 --> 00:09:33,900
The brakes are absolutely tragic!
217
00:09:35,060 --> 00:09:37,100
Whoa-ho! Come on, old girl!
218
00:09:39,260 --> 00:09:40,980
There we go!
219
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:42,620
Felt good.
220
00:09:42,620 --> 00:09:43,820
You know what that is?
221
00:09:43,820 --> 00:09:45,380
The worst possible outcome for me.
222
00:09:52,820 --> 00:09:54,260
He's a berk!
223
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:57,220
If you're about to tell me
that I wasn't as quick as you,
224
00:09:57,220 --> 00:09:58,820
then I'm going home.
225
00:09:58,820 --> 00:10:00,500
Well, you did it in...
226
00:10:00,500 --> 00:10:02,940
108.40.
227
00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:04,780
Ta-ra, Chris, we'll see you soon.
228
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:06,060
Nooooo!
229
00:10:08,020 --> 00:10:11,700
So, it turns out, while it's easy
to make an electric sports car
230
00:10:11,700 --> 00:10:15,740
powerful, making one that stops
and turns is a bit trickier.
231
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:19,620
OK, Paddy, I'm going to admit
the fact that I think my driving
232
00:10:19,620 --> 00:10:22,460
was subpar and you surprised me.
233
00:10:22,460 --> 00:10:25,100
I didn't think
you would win that race.
234
00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:28,740
Well, thank you, Mr Harris,
for your honesty.
235
00:10:28,740 --> 00:10:31,500
Thank you, Paddy, and I'd like to
say that in this light,
236
00:10:31,500 --> 00:10:34,300
the Leaf looks
absolutely BLEEP still!
237
00:10:37,180 --> 00:10:39,180
But we weren't done yet,
238
00:10:39,180 --> 00:10:42,260
because we'd been told to head
45 miles up the road
239
00:10:42,260 --> 00:10:45,100
to Tamworth for another test,
240
00:10:45,100 --> 00:10:46,380
which, for one of us...
241
00:10:46,380 --> 00:10:49,220
Oh, God, this is not good.
242
00:10:49,220 --> 00:10:50,700
..was a bit of a problem.
243
00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:55,100
I'm doing 48mph,
244
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,900
and I'm just watching the miles
drop and drop and drop.
245
00:10:58,900 --> 00:11:01,580
I've got 17 miles left.
246
00:11:01,580 --> 00:11:04,060
There's forums online,
247
00:11:04,060 --> 00:11:05,860
and they talk about
this kind of thing.
248
00:11:05,860 --> 00:11:09,100
How much range can
your electric car get?
249
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:11,380
Well, not very much.
250
00:11:11,380 --> 00:11:12,620
Not very much at all.
251
00:11:14,180 --> 00:11:17,180
Erm, boys, I'm just going to...
252
00:11:17,180 --> 00:11:18,460
Call of nature, boys.
253
00:11:18,460 --> 00:11:22,580
I'm going to have to jump off at
the next slip road, I'm afraid.
254
00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:25,900
Paddy, I'm happy to stay behind with
you, I've got one baking myself.
255
00:11:25,900 --> 00:11:28,380
Don't worry, I'll catch you up.
256
00:11:28,380 --> 00:11:30,220
You've run out of juice,
haven't you?
257
00:11:31,620 --> 00:11:32,740
No...
258
00:11:33,980 --> 00:11:37,060
And this, ladies and gentlemen,
is the reality of buying
259
00:11:37,060 --> 00:11:39,420
a second-hand Nissan Leaf.
260
00:11:39,420 --> 00:11:41,100
Surprisingly quick,
261
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:43,100
just in very small doses.
262
00:11:44,140 --> 00:11:46,540
Three miles of range left.
263
00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:47,900
Three miles!
264
00:11:49,540 --> 00:11:53,460
But forget Paddy's frankly terrible
decision-making for a minute.
265
00:11:53,460 --> 00:11:57,500
The whole range anxiety thing
actually affects every electric car.
266
00:11:59,020 --> 00:12:01,820
Here's the reality of EV range.
267
00:12:01,820 --> 00:12:05,100
Your average EV has
a range of 100 miles,
268
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:07,580
but it doesn't really,
because the moment you get in it,
269
00:12:07,580 --> 00:12:09,580
and look at the throttle pedal,
270
00:12:09,580 --> 00:12:12,260
that hundred will go
to more like 50 miles.
271
00:12:12,260 --> 00:12:14,900
50 miles is completely pointless,
272
00:12:14,900 --> 00:12:17,220
because that means, psychologically,
273
00:12:17,220 --> 00:12:20,900
you're already worried
about when you need to recharge.
274
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:24,180
What's the point in that?
275
00:12:24,180 --> 00:12:27,220
And then, there's actually
finding charge.
276
00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:30,740
No...
277
00:12:30,740 --> 00:12:32,540
Oh, no...
278
00:12:32,540 --> 00:12:34,140
Oh, God. Right...
279
00:12:36,180 --> 00:12:37,340
Hello, how are you?
280
00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:40,180
Hello, love, are you OK?
281
00:12:40,180 --> 00:12:41,820
You know who he is, don't you?
282
00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:44,100
I'm Paddy McGuinness off Top Gear.
Yeah!
283
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:46,620
How are you? I thought you were
going for me then, I backed off!
284
00:12:48,260 --> 00:12:51,300
I've run out of
electricity in my car.
285
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:53,860
Have you got a cable with you?
Electric cable? I've got the cable.
286
00:12:53,860 --> 00:12:55,860
You just want to plug it in?
I need to plug it in, yeah.
287
00:12:55,860 --> 00:12:58,140
Bring the plug in. Is that
OK? Yeah! Oh, thank you very much!
288
00:12:58,140 --> 00:12:59,660
I'll give you a hand in a minute.
289
00:12:59,660 --> 00:13:02,340
Oh, don't you worry,
I won't be a minute.
290
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:04,700
Oh, he would...
291
00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:07,220
And since our shed cars
had already got us well
292
00:13:07,220 --> 00:13:08,660
up the road to Tamworth...
293
00:13:08,660 --> 00:13:09,940
Time to fill up?
294
00:13:09,940 --> 00:13:12,060
Paddy stopped already,
so we might as well.
295
00:13:12,060 --> 00:13:13,420
..we decided to give the electric
296
00:13:13,420 --> 00:13:16,460
car waiting game a go for ourselves
297
00:13:16,460 --> 00:13:18,740
by trying out some
proper charge points.
298
00:13:19,940 --> 00:13:21,700
So, how long will this take?
299
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,860
Er, I don't know, 40 minutes?
300
00:13:23,860 --> 00:13:25,140
40 minutes?
301
00:13:31,340 --> 00:13:33,500
How long have you had the caravan?
302
00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:35,860
It isn't mine, it's me daughter's,
but...
303
00:13:35,860 --> 00:13:38,900
Oh, it's your daughter's.
She's only had it about six months.
304
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:41,980
What is it, a four-berther,
a six-berther?
305
00:13:41,980 --> 00:13:44,940
Two, I think. Two?
It looks big for a two.
306
00:13:44,940 --> 00:13:47,140
It's got a toilet in there.
307
00:13:47,140 --> 00:13:48,580
Oh, yeah!
308
00:13:48,580 --> 00:13:50,820
OK, I don't get it.
309
00:13:50,820 --> 00:13:53,940
There are about 200,000 electric
cars on the road in the UK
310
00:13:53,940 --> 00:13:55,260
at the moment.
311
00:13:55,260 --> 00:13:58,500
Within about three years,
there will be a million,
312
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:00,020
but I don't think
we're ready for it.
313
00:14:00,020 --> 00:14:02,300
There are six spots
here to charge.
314
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:05,020
So within, they're saying
within three or four years,
315
00:14:05,020 --> 00:14:06,860
this whole car park
needs be converted.
316
00:14:06,860 --> 00:14:08,980
Who's going to pay for that?
The government?
317
00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:11,340
I'm just hoping my car charges
quick, Chris, to be honest.
318
00:14:13,140 --> 00:14:15,140
Are you all right there, Eric?
319
00:14:15,140 --> 00:14:16,820
Yes, I'm all right, you?
320
00:14:16,820 --> 00:14:18,940
He's fine. You've struck gold here!
321
00:14:20,140 --> 00:14:22,180
Hang on a minute. Hang on.
322
00:14:22,180 --> 00:14:23,380
Hang on.
323
00:14:23,380 --> 00:14:25,500
Here he is! There he is!
324
00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:27,220
Your car's changed, hasn't it?
325
00:14:27,220 --> 00:14:29,100
I'm just, erm...
326
00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:31,140
I'm having a wee.
327
00:14:31,140 --> 00:14:32,700
Are you in a caravan?
328
00:14:32,700 --> 00:14:34,780
No. You're in a caravan, aren't you?
329
00:14:34,780 --> 00:14:36,940
I'm not in a caravan,
what are you on about?
330
00:14:36,940 --> 00:14:38,540
Turn it round,
let's see where you are.
331
00:14:38,540 --> 00:14:40,180
Sorry about this, Sheila.
332
00:14:40,180 --> 00:14:43,140
Who? Sheila?
333
00:14:43,140 --> 00:14:44,260
Hiya, Freddie!
334
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:45,940
Hiya, Sheila! You all right?
335
00:14:45,940 --> 00:14:47,980
You all right? Who's Sheila?
Yeah, I'm all right.
336
00:14:47,980 --> 00:14:49,940
Sheila, I don't mean to be rude,
but who are you?
337
00:14:49,940 --> 00:14:51,820
Sheila's helping me out!
338
00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:56,140
She used to be my neighbour
in Bolton, and I were just driving
339
00:14:56,140 --> 00:14:59,100
down the road to the service station
and I saw Sheila and I thought,
340
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:00,780
God, it's a small world.
341
00:15:00,780 --> 00:15:03,340
I've called in and seen
her, and I'm here...
342
00:15:03,340 --> 00:15:05,860
Can I ask... Sheila? Sheila? Yeah?
343
00:15:05,860 --> 00:15:07,700
Whereabouts in Bolton are you from?
344
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:09,500
Erm... You're breaking up!
345
00:15:09,500 --> 00:15:11,980
Breaking up, lads.
346
00:15:11,980 --> 00:15:14,580
Aw, it's gone. They've gone.
347
00:15:14,580 --> 00:15:16,020
That's complete rubbish, then.
348
00:15:16,020 --> 00:15:18,380
He's just had tea and biscuits
with a total stranger,
349
00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:19,900
whilst he's charging
the Leaf outside.
350
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:21,780
But how long's it going
to take to charge his car?
351
00:15:21,780 --> 00:15:23,660
It won't work,
he needs a supercharger!
352
00:15:23,660 --> 00:15:25,380
Let's go to Tamworth,
he's going to be late.
353
00:15:25,380 --> 00:15:26,660
What, see if he catches up? Yes!
354
00:15:34,060 --> 00:15:36,460
Ahhh, a full tank.
355
00:15:36,460 --> 00:15:38,180
I'm a little bit behind schedule,
356
00:15:38,180 --> 00:15:40,380
but life's good.
357
00:15:40,380 --> 00:15:42,180
Biscuits in me belly.
358
00:15:42,180 --> 00:15:43,700
Clean hair.
359
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:45,620
Beautiful.
360
00:15:45,620 --> 00:15:46,740
And you know what?
361
00:15:46,740 --> 00:15:48,460
Rolling in towards Tamworth,
362
00:15:48,460 --> 00:15:51,220
averaging four and a half
miles an hour,
363
00:15:51,220 --> 00:15:54,420
I'd learned that your electric car
will get you where you're going,
364
00:15:54,420 --> 00:15:56,860
you'll just be really,
really late.
365
00:15:58,700 --> 00:16:01,780
And this was the challenge Paddy
eventually rolled up to...
366
00:16:03,220 --> 00:16:06,300
The electric shock handling test.
367
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:09,660
The producers had commandeered
a local go-kart track,
368
00:16:09,660 --> 00:16:13,300
to scale up the classic
children's game, Buzzwire.
369
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:16,620
Designed to test whose sports car
was best through the corners,
370
00:16:16,620 --> 00:16:19,860
the aim was to drive the course
as fast as possible,
371
00:16:19,860 --> 00:16:22,340
keeping a clean line
through the ultra hi-tech array
372
00:16:22,340 --> 00:16:27,300
of sensors, to avoid receiving
a shock from a man called Martin.
373
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:29,020
Shall we just test
it's working, that?
374
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:33,140
Aaaaarrrggggh! You BLEEP!
375
00:16:33,140 --> 00:16:34,660
What are you doing?
376
00:16:35,940 --> 00:16:37,540
I'm not sure it worked...
377
00:16:37,540 --> 00:16:39,580
Aaaargggh, aaarrrggh!
378
00:16:39,580 --> 00:16:41,980
Yeah, it's working, Martin.
Just one more, go on.
379
00:16:41,980 --> 00:16:43,460
Aaaarrrgggh!
380
00:16:43,460 --> 00:16:46,460
You stupid, goofy BLEEP!
381
00:16:46,460 --> 00:16:48,540
Is he talking to you?
382
00:16:48,540 --> 00:16:50,540
We're just worried, Paddy,
it's not strong enough.
383
00:16:50,540 --> 00:16:52,340
Should we just turn
it up a little bit? No!
384
00:16:52,340 --> 00:16:55,980
Do not turn anything up,
it's plenty strong, trust me!
385
00:16:56,940 --> 00:16:58,460
Think I might have wee'd myself.
386
00:16:59,780 --> 00:17:01,340
Let's just test it one more time...
387
00:17:01,340 --> 00:17:02,940
No! No!
388
00:17:02,940 --> 00:17:04,140
Aaaaarrgggh!
389
00:17:05,140 --> 00:17:06,700
Pack it in!
390
00:17:07,980 --> 00:17:09,580
Go on, Paddy, man!
391
00:17:09,580 --> 00:17:13,100
That's one of the funniest
things I've ever seen.
392
00:17:13,100 --> 00:17:15,620
Paddy, can you say that
you're ready, please?
393
00:17:15,620 --> 00:17:17,860
Yes I'm ready, you clown!
394
00:17:17,860 --> 00:17:18,980
OK.
395
00:17:18,980 --> 00:17:21,860
3, 2, 1,
396
00:17:21,860 --> 00:17:23,700
go!
397
00:17:23,700 --> 00:17:27,260
I am not, not, not
touching that side.
398
00:17:27,260 --> 00:17:29,300
Not touching the side.
399
00:17:31,180 --> 00:17:32,780
Aaaargh! Aaaargh!
400
00:17:34,740 --> 00:17:36,580
Aaaargh!
401
00:17:36,580 --> 00:17:38,820
Oh, he's just taking them all out.
402
00:17:38,820 --> 00:17:40,380
No!
403
00:17:40,380 --> 00:17:41,660
That's not happening again.
404
00:17:41,660 --> 00:17:43,660
Get him on the corner, Martin,
get him on the corner!
405
00:17:43,660 --> 00:17:45,140
Now, Martin! Now, now, now.
406
00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:47,060
I'm not touching the side!
407
00:17:47,060 --> 00:17:49,260
He's just shouting
at the windscreen!
408
00:17:49,260 --> 00:17:51,740
Aaaargh! I'm not touching the side,
you BLEEP!
409
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:54,940
Aaaargh!
410
00:17:54,940 --> 00:17:57,380
BLEEP get me to the end of this!
Where's the finish?
411
00:17:57,380 --> 00:17:58,620
Aaaargh!
412
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:09,540
Do you think we might
have taken it too far?
413
00:18:09,540 --> 00:18:11,380
Are you taking the BLEEP?
414
00:18:11,380 --> 00:18:12,620
Him! It was him!
415
00:18:12,620 --> 00:18:16,060
It's like I've had a conger eel
stuck up me BLEEP, lads!
416
00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:19,620
Who's next, out of you two?
417
00:18:19,620 --> 00:18:21,220
You? Him. Get in!
418
00:18:21,220 --> 00:18:23,940
I might just accidentally
not go to the car.
419
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:25,620
I might just... Go on.
420
00:18:25,620 --> 00:18:26,900
Go on. Good luck.
421
00:18:30,060 --> 00:18:32,180
Do yourself a favour.
422
00:18:32,180 --> 00:18:35,380
Strap on a Tena Lady
and grow a pair.
423
00:18:35,380 --> 00:18:36,580
Here we go.
424
00:18:36,580 --> 00:18:39,420
3, 2, 1,
425
00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:40,540
go!
426
00:18:42,580 --> 00:18:44,740
I'm not losing to that gimp.
427
00:18:44,740 --> 00:18:46,260
No way I'm losing to him.
428
00:18:49,180 --> 00:18:51,780
Aaaargh! Aaaargh!
429
00:18:51,780 --> 00:18:53,940
Oh, he's gone straight off!
430
00:18:53,940 --> 00:18:55,780
That's got to be a press, that!
431
00:18:55,780 --> 00:18:56,940
Aaaargh!
432
00:18:56,940 --> 00:18:58,980
Stop it, you horrible BLEEP!
433
00:18:58,980 --> 00:19:01,180
He's got 20 seconds to get through.
434
00:19:01,180 --> 00:19:02,940
He's not going to...
Paddy, give him some.
435
00:19:02,940 --> 00:19:05,220
Aaaargh! I can't steer!
436
00:19:07,340 --> 00:19:10,220
That's what we want!
He's got a steering crash!
437
00:19:10,220 --> 00:19:13,340
I couldn't steer! Right...
438
00:19:13,340 --> 00:19:14,780
That's just got it you, that!
439
00:19:16,140 --> 00:19:18,020
7, 8!
440
00:19:18,020 --> 00:19:20,340
This is the most horrible
thing I've ever done!
441
00:19:21,660 --> 00:19:23,700
Aaaargh! Aaaargh!
442
00:19:26,500 --> 00:19:29,020
Get off, you horrible people!
443
00:19:29,020 --> 00:19:30,820
Oh, look at his little face!
444
00:19:30,820 --> 00:19:32,500
He is going to be so angry.
He enjoyed that.
445
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:33,740
He's going to be so cross.
446
00:19:33,740 --> 00:19:34,780
What was the time?
447
00:19:34,780 --> 00:19:37,980
I did it in 1:11.59.
448
00:19:37,980 --> 00:19:39,820
The face on him!
449
00:19:39,820 --> 00:19:41,540
You did it in
450
00:19:41,540 --> 00:19:43,900
1:14.25! Oh! Oh!
451
00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:49,180
Because one of you made me crash!
452
00:19:49,180 --> 00:19:52,380
Before I set off last
time I had five shocks,
453
00:19:52,380 --> 00:19:54,420
that's before I even got
over the start line.
454
00:19:57,380 --> 00:20:00,460
Two down, Flintoff to go.
455
00:20:00,460 --> 00:20:03,540
A little bit of electricity
never hurt anyone.
456
00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:07,940
Martin, he's a big lad,
whack that up to rhino, please.
457
00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:09,900
In fact, hold that,
458
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:11,460
you've worked your little socks off.
459
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:14,140
Take that off.
I'm giving you the night off.
460
00:20:14,140 --> 00:20:16,100
There you are, Martin.
461
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:17,740
You take that, get yourself a...
462
00:20:19,380 --> 00:20:21,220
..nice cup of tea or something.
463
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:23,500
Right, OK.
464
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:27,180
All right, lads,
let Martin do his job.
465
00:20:27,180 --> 00:20:28,500
Don't be messing about.
466
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:30,980
There's no problem.
Martin's here, aren't you, Martin?
467
00:20:33,180 --> 00:20:34,860
He's nodding. He's nodding.
468
00:20:34,860 --> 00:20:39,220
OK, Freddie. Yeah.
The time to beat is 1.11.
469
00:20:39,220 --> 00:20:40,300
Are you ready?
470
00:20:40,300 --> 00:20:42,260
I am not going to give
these lads anything.
471
00:20:42,260 --> 00:20:44,620
Three, two, one, go!
472
00:20:49,260 --> 00:20:52,580
Press that button all you want,
turn it up, lads, I don't care.
473
00:20:52,580 --> 00:20:54,740
That can't be working.
Go on, whack it on, whack it on.
474
00:20:56,500 --> 00:20:59,500
There we go, just take
a few of them out, we don't care.
475
00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:02,620
How is he doing this?
He's not even reacting to it.
476
00:21:02,620 --> 00:21:05,420
Well done, lads, yeah, go on,
press it, press it all you want!
477
00:21:05,420 --> 00:21:08,980
What is it? Looks, he's made of
different stock, he's not normal!
478
00:21:11,340 --> 00:21:12,900
That is not working.
479
00:21:15,740 --> 00:21:18,660
Fred, we've just been speaking
to the BBC technical department
480
00:21:18,660 --> 00:21:21,380
and they are fairly convinced
it wasn't working during that run.
481
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:24,220
They've got some problems.
They want us to do another run.
482
00:21:24,220 --> 00:21:26,780
You can tell the BBC
department to BLEEP!
483
00:21:26,780 --> 00:21:29,020
It was definitely working.
484
00:21:29,020 --> 00:21:31,620
You did it in 1:06.56,
485
00:21:31,620 --> 00:21:34,780
which I think is four and a half
seconds quicker than Paddy,
486
00:21:34,780 --> 00:21:36,940
and that was four seconds
quicker than me.
487
00:21:36,940 --> 00:21:39,340
Congratulations, well done,
you were born in a lab.
488
00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:41,620
Nothing to be proud of.
489
00:21:43,940 --> 00:21:45,500
So, with the results in,
490
00:21:45,500 --> 00:21:48,860
there was just the small matter
of the prizegiving.
491
00:21:48,860 --> 00:21:52,300
As you know, the slowest time
on the lap gets a forfeit
492
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:55,300
and you were the slowest time again.
It's getting a bit of a habit.
493
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:56,980
It's embarrassing, really.
494
00:21:56,980 --> 00:21:59,380
You pushed a button
which forced me to crash
495
00:21:59,380 --> 00:22:00,860
and now you punish me
for that crash.
496
00:22:00,860 --> 00:22:02,140
Be careful with them on your arms,
497
00:22:02,140 --> 00:22:03,900
and you're drinking
that at the same time. Oh!
498
00:22:03,900 --> 00:22:06,700
Oh, come on. I like it, Paddy.
499
00:22:06,700 --> 00:22:10,100
Fred. Yeah. You're the winner,
you've got the spoils.
500
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:11,580
Start drinking, Chris. Say when.
501
00:22:11,580 --> 00:22:12,900
Let him enjoy it, go on.
502
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:15,300
Just try a bit of milk.
Go on, get it in you.
503
00:22:24,860 --> 00:22:26,740
That's the best thing
I've ever seen!
504
00:22:26,740 --> 00:22:28,940
I can't stop,
I can't stop, I can't stop!
505
00:22:36,020 --> 00:22:37,780
I never want to drink milk again!
506
00:22:47,420 --> 00:22:49,620
What was all that about?
507
00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:54,140
What's wrong with you two?
It's just a bit of electricity.
508
00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:56,900
Fred, you're not human.
509
00:22:56,900 --> 00:22:58,140
It's electricity.
510
00:22:58,140 --> 00:23:00,820
God forbid you need a defib -
it will have no effect.
511
00:23:00,820 --> 00:23:02,980
"Clear! Is it plugged in? Clear!"
512
00:23:02,980 --> 00:23:04,700
Paddy, what you've got
to remember is
513
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:06,900
I used to play a real
hard man sport.
514
00:23:06,900 --> 00:23:08,340
Fred, you played cricket!
515
00:23:09,540 --> 00:23:11,580
Hang on! Tell you what,
you try standing in a field,
516
00:23:11,580 --> 00:23:14,140
dressed in white, not knowing
where your next cucumber sandwich
517
00:23:14,140 --> 00:23:15,900
is coming from.
You've got to be hard, son.
518
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:18,620
It was agony, lads, come on,
it was absolute agony,
519
00:23:18,620 --> 00:23:21,980
and if that's the light relief
from the pain of childbirth
520
00:23:21,980 --> 00:23:23,220
I never want to be pregnant.
521
00:23:23,220 --> 00:23:24,420
Are you sure you're not?
522
00:23:26,460 --> 00:23:29,940
And to be fair in that jumper you
did look like a giant Ribena berry
523
00:23:29,940 --> 00:23:31,940
just waiting to be squeezed.
524
00:23:31,940 --> 00:23:35,140
I had two layers of
thermals underneath,
525
00:23:35,140 --> 00:23:38,340
I'll have you know.
Why have you got them on now?
526
00:23:38,340 --> 00:23:40,020
You can take them off.
527
00:23:40,020 --> 00:23:42,140
Dearie me. What?? Dearie me.
528
00:23:43,140 --> 00:23:44,340
Do a link.
529
00:23:46,740 --> 00:23:47,940
Well, enough of you two.
530
00:23:47,940 --> 00:23:51,500
Now, if you're talking electric cars
there's only one name
531
00:23:51,500 --> 00:23:53,340
you can't ignore, and that's Tesla.
532
00:23:53,340 --> 00:23:56,460
And it's got a new car out,
quite a significant one,
533
00:23:56,460 --> 00:23:57,900
so I went to take a look.
534
00:24:05,660 --> 00:24:08,180
The Model 3,
535
00:24:08,180 --> 00:24:10,500
Tesla's cheapest car yet
536
00:24:10,500 --> 00:24:13,260
and no question its most important.
537
00:24:13,260 --> 00:24:14,460
In fact,
538
00:24:14,460 --> 00:24:18,060
this could be the 21st century's
most important car yet...
539
00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:23,620
Because the Model 3 wants
to be the first electric car you buy
540
00:24:23,620 --> 00:24:28,180
not because you want an electric
car, but because it makes more sense
541
00:24:28,180 --> 00:24:31,100
in every way than buying
a car with an engine.
542
00:24:32,260 --> 00:24:35,580
This is the car that wants to make
electric mainstream.
543
00:24:36,900 --> 00:24:40,700
So, here's what I'm going to do
and it's a pretty left-field plan.
544
00:24:40,700 --> 00:24:43,740
What I'm going to try and do
is ignore all of the hype
545
00:24:43,740 --> 00:24:45,980
surrounding the Model 3,
546
00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:48,940
and instead I'm going to review it
547
00:24:48,940 --> 00:24:50,420
as a normal car.
548
00:24:56,260 --> 00:24:58,500
Totally normal car.
549
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:01,580
Just driving itself to collect me.
550
00:25:02,820 --> 00:25:04,580
So cool! Hee-hee!
551
00:25:14,940 --> 00:25:17,660
So, the Model 3.
552
00:25:17,660 --> 00:25:21,180
Starts at just under £40,000,
553
00:25:21,180 --> 00:25:25,900
including the generous government
grant which isn't exactly peanuts,
554
00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:30,220
but, let's face it, is bang
on the money of a BMW 3-series,
555
00:25:30,220 --> 00:25:32,820
an Audi A4 or a Mercedes C class.
556
00:25:32,820 --> 00:25:37,060
Basically, the cars
people buy big in Britain.
557
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:39,980
Now, like every other Tesla,
what you have here is a load
558
00:25:39,980 --> 00:25:43,580
of batteries under the floor feeding
a motor at the rear,
559
00:25:43,580 --> 00:25:46,940
or if you pay more -
actually quite a lot more -
560
00:25:46,940 --> 00:25:48,300
a motor at the front, as well.
561
00:25:49,980 --> 00:25:51,100
Range?
562
00:25:51,100 --> 00:25:55,300
Officially, you'll get just over 250
miles on a single charge,
563
00:25:55,300 --> 00:25:58,860
or nearer 330 miles if you go
for the more expensive one.
564
00:26:01,180 --> 00:26:04,660
And as long as you don't regularly
drive more than 200 miles in a day,
565
00:26:04,660 --> 00:26:07,940
which, let's face it,
not many of us do,
566
00:26:07,940 --> 00:26:11,220
then this thing shouldn't be a pain
in the plug socket to own...
567
00:26:12,420 --> 00:26:15,780
And if you do need to go more
than a few hundred miles in one hit,
568
00:26:15,780 --> 00:26:18,460
the Model 3 will tell
you which supercharger stations
569
00:26:18,460 --> 00:26:20,940
you need to stop at, for how long,
570
00:26:20,940 --> 00:26:23,020
and if they're busy or not.
571
00:26:23,020 --> 00:26:25,460
It's all very slick,
572
00:26:25,460 --> 00:26:27,620
as is the interior which is slick
573
00:26:27,620 --> 00:26:30,660
to the point of hardly
existing at all.
574
00:26:32,460 --> 00:26:36,180
Everything is controlled by a vast
central touch-screen.
575
00:26:36,180 --> 00:26:37,660
Lights, wing mirrors,
576
00:26:37,660 --> 00:26:40,180
even opening the glove box.
577
00:26:40,180 --> 00:26:42,220
Delve deeper into the menus
578
00:26:42,220 --> 00:26:45,300
and you'll even discover
the Model 3 features
579
00:26:45,300 --> 00:26:46,540
a sense of humour.
580
00:26:47,620 --> 00:26:48,780
Watch this.
581
00:26:50,260 --> 00:26:54,180
You can make the screen
a roaring, crackling log fire.
582
00:26:54,180 --> 00:26:55,780
I don't know why that's cool,
it just is,
583
00:26:55,780 --> 00:26:57,340
it's very soothing, as well.
584
00:26:57,340 --> 00:27:01,740
There's also emissions mode,
which is a kind of virtual whoopee
585
00:27:01,740 --> 00:27:06,020
cushion and you can apportion a fart
sound to whichever seat you want.
586
00:27:06,020 --> 00:27:07,140
Front right...
587
00:27:09,820 --> 00:27:12,340
..back left.
I mean, endless fun for the kids.
588
00:27:14,620 --> 00:27:18,460
Now, you will notice that I haven't
yet mentioned what the Model 3
589
00:27:18,460 --> 00:27:21,700
is actually like to drive
and that's because,
590
00:27:21,700 --> 00:27:24,580
well, it's an electric car.
591
00:27:24,580 --> 00:27:26,180
You know the game.
592
00:27:26,180 --> 00:27:29,340
It's pretty nippy off the line,
otherwise quite unremarkable.
593
00:27:29,340 --> 00:27:33,260
It's not bad, it's just electric.
And as for the ride,
594
00:27:33,260 --> 00:27:36,900
well, it's not as good as the best
Germans, but it's so close that most
595
00:27:36,900 --> 00:27:39,940
normal people really won't
notice the difference.
596
00:27:41,140 --> 00:27:44,260
In truth, you get the impression
the Model 3 thinks the whole
597
00:27:44,260 --> 00:27:48,340
idea of driving is just
a bit old-fashioned.
598
00:27:48,340 --> 00:27:51,460
On a motorway, Tesla says
it will pilot itself,
599
00:27:51,460 --> 00:27:56,100
accelerate, brake, steer,
even change lanes.
600
00:27:56,100 --> 00:28:00,980
It's Tomorrow's World stuff,
but it does make you wonder -
601
00:28:00,980 --> 00:28:03,620
why doesn't it have the looks
to match?
602
00:28:03,620 --> 00:28:07,300
I mean, it could have been a bit
more futuristic, surely?
603
00:28:07,300 --> 00:28:10,700
For the car that might change
the face of all cars for ever,
604
00:28:10,700 --> 00:28:13,740
it's just a bit... vanilla.
605
00:28:15,740 --> 00:28:18,020
But maybe that's the point.
606
00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:24,020
The question you have to ask is,
does the Model 3 offer enough
607
00:28:24,020 --> 00:28:28,780
to tempt someone out of a 3-series
or a C class or an A4,
608
00:28:28,780 --> 00:28:31,500
and the answer is yes,
it really does.
609
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:35,460
This car is interesting,
but not too scary.
610
00:28:36,780 --> 00:28:40,620
And that's the Model 3's
most impressive track.
611
00:28:40,620 --> 00:28:43,540
It's just feels... normal.
612
00:28:43,540 --> 00:28:47,100
A normal, credible rival
to all those normal,
613
00:28:47,100 --> 00:28:50,780
big selling saloons from BMW
and Mercedes and Audi.
614
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:54,540
Although this one is also...
615
00:28:54,540 --> 00:28:56,500
..a bit more than that.
616
00:28:58,980 --> 00:29:00,460
Oh!
617
00:29:00,460 --> 00:29:04,020
Because I probably
should have mentioned,
618
00:29:04,020 --> 00:29:07,100
this isn't the regular Model 3.
619
00:29:07,100 --> 00:29:08,260
This is the fast one.
620
00:29:10,660 --> 00:29:16,060
The 444 horsepower, 48 grand,
Model 3 Performance.
621
00:29:17,940 --> 00:29:21,900
This is the car that Tesla boss
Elon Musk boasted was quicker
622
00:29:21,900 --> 00:29:26,100
than a BMW M3, with better handling.
623
00:29:27,220 --> 00:29:32,300
The car that will "beat anything
in its class on the track".
624
00:29:32,300 --> 00:29:34,540
That is quite some claim, Elon.
625
00:29:36,340 --> 00:29:38,340
Time, then, for a test,
626
00:29:38,340 --> 00:29:41,340
against the ultimate fast saloons.
627
00:29:41,340 --> 00:29:45,060
From Mercedes AMG, the C63S,
628
00:29:45,060 --> 00:29:48,460
from Alfa Romeo, the Giulia QB.
629
00:29:48,460 --> 00:29:52,340
And, of course, from BMW, the M3.
630
00:29:53,700 --> 00:29:59,700
First up, a drag race
with a difference.
631
00:29:59,700 --> 00:30:03,540
We're so used to Teslas being fast
in a straight line now,
632
00:30:03,540 --> 00:30:07,180
but in my experience,
electric cars are really quick
633
00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:12,100
off the line, but above 100
they tend to get caught
634
00:30:12,100 --> 00:30:13,780
by piston engine cars.
635
00:30:13,780 --> 00:30:16,900
So I've made the drag
race a bit longer.
636
00:30:16,900 --> 00:30:22,220
Half a mile, twice the normal
distance and well outside the usual
637
00:30:22,220 --> 00:30:25,460
Tesla stomping ground.
638
00:30:25,460 --> 00:30:27,980
3, 2, 1, go!
639
00:30:27,980 --> 00:30:29,420
Ha-ha-ha!
640
00:30:29,420 --> 00:30:31,020
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
641
00:30:31,020 --> 00:30:32,660
Nailed them off the line.
642
00:30:32,660 --> 00:30:34,420
60 takes 3.2 seconds.
643
00:30:36,020 --> 00:30:37,820
They're not closing in.
644
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:39,500
I'm still pulling away.
645
00:30:41,420 --> 00:30:43,380
Oh, no, the Merc
is coming back at me.
646
00:30:45,700 --> 00:30:48,060
130, the Merc is coming back at me.
647
00:30:48,060 --> 00:30:49,100
Here he comes!
648
00:30:50,060 --> 00:30:51,420
Here he comes!
649
00:30:51,420 --> 00:30:52,940
Here he comes...!
650
00:30:55,700 --> 00:30:57,380
Oh, he just got me at the end!
651
00:30:59,220 --> 00:31:00,260
Oh!
652
00:31:03,940 --> 00:31:06,180
So it's a win for petrol.
653
00:31:06,180 --> 00:31:07,460
But only just.
654
00:31:07,460 --> 00:31:09,940
And only north of 120.
655
00:31:09,940 --> 00:31:14,620
Let's not forget, in the real world,
even the fastest saloon wouldn't see
656
00:31:14,620 --> 00:31:16,820
which way the Tesla went.
657
00:31:16,820 --> 00:31:20,740
This is the traffic light king,
this thing.
658
00:31:20,740 --> 00:31:24,660
It's an AK-47 disguised
as a butter knife.
659
00:31:29,380 --> 00:31:30,820
Next test, then.
660
00:31:30,820 --> 00:31:33,780
And this time, it's the hastily
assembled Top Gear
661
00:31:33,780 --> 00:31:35,620
handling circuit.
662
00:31:35,620 --> 00:31:38,940
Fastest through the cones wins,
and with petrol up first,
663
00:31:38,940 --> 00:31:42,820
I had chosen the ideal car
to lay down the gauntlet.
664
00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:46,740
The beautiful Alfa Romeo
Giulia Quadrifoglio.
665
00:31:46,740 --> 00:31:49,500
I drove it here once before -
it beat an M3
666
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:51,620
and, frankly, I love driving it.
667
00:31:54,020 --> 00:31:56,940
3, 2, 1, go!
668
00:31:58,940 --> 00:32:00,500
We are away.
669
00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:03,540
I've got to turn right
sharp into here.
670
00:32:03,540 --> 00:32:06,300
This is the wetted bit.
671
00:32:06,300 --> 00:32:07,940
That really is quite slippery.
672
00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:11,380
Slide it out, why not?
673
00:32:11,380 --> 00:32:12,980
Now the slalom.
674
00:32:12,980 --> 00:32:15,140
I love this thing,
it feels so direct.
675
00:32:16,180 --> 00:32:18,060
Agile, quick steering.
676
00:32:18,060 --> 00:32:22,420
I love the fact that it's engaging
me, and the noises it's making.
677
00:32:22,420 --> 00:32:23,620
Come on!
678
00:32:27,020 --> 00:32:30,860
The nimble Giulia clocked
a one minute 4.8 seconds.
679
00:32:33,980 --> 00:32:36,220
So what can the Tesla do?
680
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:39,180
3, 2, 1, go!
681
00:32:42,060 --> 00:32:44,220
It just scoots off the line!
682
00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:45,500
Ahh, but it rolls more.
683
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:47,380
I'm falling out of the seat!
684
00:32:49,140 --> 00:32:52,220
The car just feels softer,
lazier than the Alfa.
685
00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:55,380
I can carry less speed,
I can feel the mass.
686
00:32:56,620 --> 00:32:59,300
It's ugly, not as controlled
as the Alfa.
687
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:01,900
But then, when you get
into the acceleration zone,
688
00:33:01,900 --> 00:33:03,700
immediately it fires out.
689
00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:06,180
That is fast!
690
00:33:06,180 --> 00:33:08,180
1:04:8 to beat, come on.
691
00:33:10,140 --> 00:33:14,900
Now, that is an impressive half
a second quicker than the Alfa.
692
00:33:14,900 --> 00:33:17,940
And it's all because it just
squirts out of the corners.
693
00:33:17,940 --> 00:33:20,620
Actually in the corners
it has less balance,
694
00:33:20,620 --> 00:33:23,260
and it doesn't use its tyres
effectively, for me.
695
00:33:23,260 --> 00:33:26,740
But, ultimately, a car
that looks like...
696
00:33:26,740 --> 00:33:31,580
..a very fast fridge is quicker
than the Alfa that is supposed
697
00:33:31,580 --> 00:33:34,180
to be the performance car.
The world has gone mad!
698
00:33:40,180 --> 00:33:44,220
So the Model 3 really does live
up to the boss's boast.
699
00:33:44,220 --> 00:33:48,780
As fast - faster, even -
than the very best of petrol.
700
00:33:48,780 --> 00:33:51,820
Yes, there are things
that the old fossil fuel burners
701
00:33:51,820 --> 00:33:53,140
still do better...
702
00:33:54,220 --> 00:33:56,940
..and if you want your performance
saloon to be fun
703
00:33:56,940 --> 00:34:00,820
as well as fast, then the Tesla
isn't quite there yet.
704
00:34:03,420 --> 00:34:05,020
But it's not far off.
705
00:34:05,020 --> 00:34:08,500
The Model 3 really does feel
like a turning point.
706
00:34:10,180 --> 00:34:13,860
You see, it does pretty much
everything as well as a petrol car,
707
00:34:13,860 --> 00:34:16,700
but without burning a drop of fuel.
708
00:34:19,740 --> 00:34:22,740
It's a big moment in
the history of the motor car.
709
00:34:22,740 --> 00:34:25,940
The electric future
is happening right now.
710
00:34:28,780 --> 00:34:33,420
And it's happening
very, very, very fast.
711
00:34:41,660 --> 00:34:44,020
Wow! The future.
712
00:34:45,140 --> 00:34:47,220
Very, very fast.
713
00:34:47,220 --> 00:34:51,460
So. basically, what you're saying
is we should all give up now,
714
00:34:51,460 --> 00:34:53,580
in a few years' time
we'll all be driving Teslas,
715
00:34:53,580 --> 00:34:55,900
Elon Musk will be king of the world,
is that what you're saying?
716
00:34:55,900 --> 00:34:58,340
I don't think so, I think Elon
is cleverer than that,
717
00:34:58,340 --> 00:34:59,740
because when Mercedes and BMW
718
00:34:59,740 --> 00:35:02,300
and the big Germans come on board,
they're going to beat him
719
00:35:02,300 --> 00:35:04,180
cos they'll have the same
technology.
720
00:35:04,180 --> 00:35:05,820
But he's built battery factories.
721
00:35:05,820 --> 00:35:08,500
So what he's going to do
is he's created an electric car
722
00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:12,180
race, Tesla will duck out,
and then he'll flog them batteries.
723
00:35:12,180 --> 00:35:13,300
He's a clever man!
724
00:35:13,300 --> 00:35:15,700
Is it me, or does Elon Musk
sound like something me mum used
725
00:35:15,700 --> 00:35:17,860
to buy from t'Avon Lady?
726
00:35:17,860 --> 00:35:19,780
Elon Musk?
727
00:35:19,780 --> 00:35:21,820
He's definitely wearing it. He is.
728
00:35:21,820 --> 00:35:24,540
He's definitely... That or Febreeze.
729
00:35:24,540 --> 00:35:27,260
The one thing
we all want to find out is how fast
730
00:35:27,260 --> 00:35:30,220
the Tesla Model 3
is around our track.
731
00:35:30,220 --> 00:35:33,940
So we sent out the Stig earlier
today to put a full lap down.
732
00:35:33,940 --> 00:35:36,060
Where do you reckon
he's going to come, Chris?
733
00:35:36,060 --> 00:35:39,340
OK, well, the rivals are C63 and M3,
734
00:35:39,340 --> 00:35:42,900
but the fastest in that group,
Alfa Giulia 1:21:4.
735
00:35:42,900 --> 00:35:44,420
It's going to be close.
736
00:35:44,420 --> 00:35:46,620
Shall we find out
how the Tesla got on?
737
00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:49,980
Yes! Yes!
738
00:35:49,980 --> 00:35:52,340
I can tell you,
where are we looking?
739
00:35:52,340 --> 00:35:54,180
Mercedes, 1.22.
740
00:35:54,180 --> 00:35:58,740
The Tesla Model 3 went
round in one minute...
741
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:01,620
20...
742
00:36:01,620 --> 00:36:03,420
..one...
743
00:36:03,420 --> 00:36:05,980
- ..point five, which is...
- Ooh! Oh, wow!
744
00:36:07,740 --> 00:36:10,020
..just under the Alfa Giulia.
745
00:36:13,860 --> 00:36:15,300
That is impressive!
746
00:36:17,260 --> 00:36:19,740
That's the same speed as a DB11.
747
00:36:19,740 --> 00:36:22,380
Faster than a BMW M3.
You've got to be impressed by that?
748
00:36:22,380 --> 00:36:25,020
Yeah, but it's not
the fastest in class.
749
00:36:25,020 --> 00:36:27,140
And you look at it, it's...
It's semantics.
750
00:36:27,140 --> 00:36:29,140
We've learned two things,
we learned two things, Fred.
751
00:36:29,140 --> 00:36:31,500
One - that car is remarkable
and it's the future.
752
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:35,140
Two - you holding a piece of plastic
and trying to say words and numbers
753
00:36:35,140 --> 00:36:39,460
is at the very outer limits
of your cerebral capacity.
754
00:36:39,460 --> 00:36:43,060
Savage! Savage!
755
00:36:43,060 --> 00:36:44,580
Savage.
756
00:36:44,580 --> 00:36:48,980
Right, time now to meet
tonight's celebrity guests.
757
00:36:48,980 --> 00:36:50,780
Danny Boyle and Himesh Patel.
758
00:36:50,780 --> 00:36:52,460
Here's what happened
when they arrived at our
759
00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:53,860
track earlier today.
760
00:36:53,860 --> 00:36:55,620
Savage.
761
00:36:55,620 --> 00:36:57,820
The boys are here! Welcome.
762
00:36:57,820 --> 00:36:59,380
How you doing?
Himesh, how you doing?
763
00:36:59,380 --> 00:37:01,420
How are we all? Yeah, very good.
Right, guys.
764
00:37:01,420 --> 00:37:05,140
What we have here is something
called Barrier Chicken, OK?
765
00:37:05,140 --> 00:37:07,580
It goes up and down
and we can't stop it, OK?
766
00:37:07,580 --> 00:37:09,460
We've also got a test car here.
767
00:37:09,460 --> 00:37:10,620
We've got a speed gun.
768
00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:12,740
Fastest under the barrier wins.
769
00:37:12,740 --> 00:37:14,780
There's no glory in going
slowly, is there?
770
00:37:14,780 --> 00:37:15,900
None whatsoever.
771
00:37:15,900 --> 00:37:18,460
Go on, Dan! Let's have it!
772
00:37:18,460 --> 00:37:20,420
Yes!
773
00:37:20,420 --> 00:37:22,820
Do you know the reason
we've chosen a Punto, Himesh?
774
00:37:22,820 --> 00:37:23,980
I don't.
775
00:37:23,980 --> 00:37:27,260
Because it's the first car
to get zero stars
776
00:37:27,260 --> 00:37:28,900
on the NCAP safety rating.
777
00:37:28,900 --> 00:37:31,460
- So this car is not that safe.
- Oh, that's good.
778
00:37:31,460 --> 00:37:34,180
Go, go! I'm not going to change
it because it feels very narrow!
779
00:37:34,180 --> 00:37:37,100
Yes! Yes!
780
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:39,340
Only did it!
781
00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:40,660
Do you want to tell him?
782
00:37:40,660 --> 00:37:42,780
74mph.
783
00:37:42,780 --> 00:37:45,100
What a treat that is!
784
00:37:45,100 --> 00:37:46,500
All right, here we go.
785
00:37:46,500 --> 00:37:50,860
There's no harm in failing,
but I can't stand not trying. OK.
786
00:37:50,860 --> 00:37:52,580
If it goes wrong,
let's go wrong big.
787
00:37:52,580 --> 00:37:53,740
All right, here we go.
788
00:37:53,740 --> 00:37:56,900
Paddy, get your thing out.
Beg your pardon!
789
00:37:56,900 --> 00:37:59,100
Do not lift up now, do not lift up.
790
00:37:59,100 --> 00:38:01,580
Keep going, we've got it,
we got it, we got it!
791
00:38:01,580 --> 00:38:04,100
Oh!
792
00:38:04,100 --> 00:38:05,620
We did it!
793
00:38:05,620 --> 00:38:07,340
Don't leave me hanging, Himesh!
794
00:38:07,340 --> 00:38:11,260
We did a speed, 74mph,
you did a speed of...
795
00:38:11,260 --> 00:38:13,340
Seventy...
796
00:38:13,340 --> 00:38:14,420
Four mph!
797
00:38:14,420 --> 00:38:15,860
No!
798
00:38:15,860 --> 00:38:17,700
Exactly the same!
799
00:38:17,700 --> 00:38:20,460
So we got ourselves
a tie-breaker, boys!
800
00:38:20,460 --> 00:38:22,180
Go on, get yourself in.
801
00:38:22,180 --> 00:38:23,860
Let's go, just boot it, mate!
802
00:38:23,860 --> 00:38:25,580
Fast as you can, don't lift off.
803
00:38:25,580 --> 00:38:27,900
Oh, 66, 67, 68, 69.
804
00:38:27,900 --> 00:38:28,940
He's in the 70s.
805
00:38:28,940 --> 00:38:30,580
Oh, we're going now.
806
00:38:30,580 --> 00:38:32,340
Keep it on. 75!
807
00:38:32,340 --> 00:38:33,780
Yes, Himesh!
808
00:38:33,780 --> 00:38:36,180
Oh-ho!
809
00:38:36,180 --> 00:38:41,660
This time, 74mph, boys!
810
00:38:41,660 --> 00:38:43,100
Definitely not!
811
00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:44,460
You've not changed it!
812
00:38:44,460 --> 00:38:45,860
Listen, hold on to that.
813
00:38:45,860 --> 00:38:48,300
Give us the lids, boys,
where's the lids?
814
00:38:48,300 --> 00:38:49,420
Let's go!
815
00:38:49,420 --> 00:38:50,700
Gun it, Dan!
816
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:54,300
Get the gun out, Fred. All right, I know
what I'm doing - I've only got one job here!
817
00:38:54,300 --> 00:38:56,900
Go on, faster, Dan!
Whack it into fourth.
818
00:38:56,900 --> 00:38:58,420
70 what? Two.
819
00:38:58,420 --> 00:39:00,420
Go on, go on!
No, I'm going to hit it.
820
00:39:00,420 --> 00:39:02,300
Oh, no! Jeez...
821
00:39:02,300 --> 00:39:03,580
Oh-ho!
822
00:39:03,580 --> 00:39:04,860
Whoops...
823
00:39:04,860 --> 00:39:07,940
I knew we were going to hit it!
824
00:39:07,940 --> 00:39:11,780
So, we have a winner.
And it's not you two.
825
00:39:11,780 --> 00:39:13,500
Come on, try that again, Himesh!
826
00:39:13,500 --> 00:39:15,980
Well, it's all right if you want
to be vanilla and boring,
827
00:39:15,980 --> 00:39:18,140
but we've brought a bit
of drama to proceedings.
828
00:39:18,140 --> 00:39:19,420
Bit of speed, a little crash.
829
00:39:19,420 --> 00:39:21,100
Oh! Oh!
830
00:39:21,100 --> 00:39:23,500
He stuck the nut on Harris!
831
00:39:24,820 --> 00:39:27,100
That's what you get
for showing off, Fred!
832
00:39:32,140 --> 00:39:33,740
Ladies and gentlemen,
833
00:39:33,740 --> 00:39:36,340
Danny Boyle and the star
of his new film Yesterday,
834
00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:37,540
Himesh Patel!
835
00:39:39,420 --> 00:39:40,860
There we are!
836
00:39:42,060 --> 00:39:43,380
All right, guys?
837
00:39:45,060 --> 00:39:47,020
You all right, Himesh?
838
00:39:48,140 --> 00:39:49,980
Oh!
839
00:39:49,980 --> 00:39:51,020
That was fun!
840
00:39:51,020 --> 00:39:53,420
When he nutted him,
that was amazing, wasn't it?
841
00:39:53,420 --> 00:39:56,060
Right, first of all, lads,
car history, please.
842
00:39:56,060 --> 00:39:58,460
Because I'm fascinated
by the cars people have owned.
843
00:39:58,460 --> 00:39:59,940
So, what do you currently drive?
844
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:03,060
I drive exactly the same car
as I did the last time
845
00:40:03,060 --> 00:40:04,980
I was on the show
which was ten years ago. No!
846
00:40:04,980 --> 00:40:07,180
I'm still in a Mini!
847
00:40:07,180 --> 00:40:10,300
No! A kind of Mini One.
848
00:40:10,300 --> 00:40:12,660
Yeah, it's like, 18... 17 years old.
849
00:40:12,660 --> 00:40:16,500
Himesh?
I got a 52 plate Toyota Yaris...
850
00:40:16,500 --> 00:40:18,660
Get out! What?!
Get out!
851
00:40:18,660 --> 00:40:20,340
It's five doors, so...
852
00:40:20,340 --> 00:40:23,420
You're a movie star, do you not
fancy something a bit better?
853
00:40:23,420 --> 00:40:25,740
I'm not yet a movie star,
I wouldn't call myself that.
854
00:40:25,740 --> 00:40:27,380
I mean, the film
hasn't come out yet.
855
00:40:27,380 --> 00:40:30,060
Maybe once the film
does well, hopefully?
856
00:40:30,060 --> 00:40:33,140
What did you have before that?
The same car, but...
857
00:40:33,140 --> 00:40:34,940
Hang on!
858
00:40:34,940 --> 00:40:37,060
You had a Yaris. Yeah.
859
00:40:37,060 --> 00:40:39,740
Got rid of it, and thought,
"I'll get a Yaris!"
860
00:40:39,740 --> 00:40:42,300
I didn't get rid of it on purpose.
861
00:40:42,300 --> 00:40:46,860
My first one, I had an accident
and had to write off the car.
862
00:40:46,860 --> 00:40:49,580
But I didn't have a scratch on me
after the accident,
863
00:40:49,580 --> 00:40:51,820
so I thought,
"Well, it's a pretty sturdy car,
864
00:40:51,820 --> 00:40:54,260
"a pretty strong car,
it looked after me well,
865
00:40:54,260 --> 00:40:56,220
"I'll just get the
same thing again!"
866
00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:59,820
And your new film, Yesterday, now
it's a brilliant idea this, folks.
867
00:40:59,820 --> 00:41:01,380
Tell us a little bit about it.
868
00:41:01,380 --> 00:41:03,540
So it's about this guy,
who's called Jack.
869
00:41:03,540 --> 00:41:05,580
His character's called Jack Malik
870
00:41:05,580 --> 00:41:08,380
and he wakes up one day,
after he gets hit by a bus.
871
00:41:08,380 --> 00:41:10,940
When he wakes up, he's OK,
872
00:41:10,940 --> 00:41:13,660
and he's the only person
in the world that remembers
873
00:41:13,660 --> 00:41:14,700
the Beatles songs.
874
00:41:14,700 --> 00:41:17,220
There is no record of them,
you can't find them on Google.
875
00:41:17,220 --> 00:41:20,580
There's no records, there's no
vinyl, no tapes, no CDs.
876
00:41:20,580 --> 00:41:22,860
It's literally like
they've never existed? Yes.
877
00:41:22,860 --> 00:41:28,140
And his profession is a rather
unsuccessful singer-songwriter.
878
00:41:28,140 --> 00:41:31,940
So he begins to sing one or two
of the songs that he can remember,
879
00:41:31,940 --> 00:41:34,540
as though he's written them himself
880
00:41:34,540 --> 00:41:37,500
and he becomes
more famous than Jesus.
881
00:41:37,500 --> 00:41:39,060
Because he's over there!
882
00:41:39,060 --> 00:41:41,380
He's in!
883
00:41:43,740 --> 00:41:46,620
Anyway, and so it
goes on from there.
884
00:41:46,620 --> 00:41:49,020
We got a clip, let's have a look!
885
00:41:49,020 --> 00:41:51,060
♪ Yesterday
886
00:41:51,060 --> 00:41:56,020
♪ All my troubles seemed
so far away
887
00:41:56,020 --> 00:41:59,580
♪ Now it seems as
though they're here to stay
888
00:41:59,580 --> 00:42:04,180
♪ Oh, I believe in yesterday. ♪
889
00:42:05,500 --> 00:42:07,820
When did you write that?
890
00:42:07,820 --> 00:42:11,140
Well, I didn't write it, Paul
McCartney wrote it. The Beatles.
891
00:42:11,140 --> 00:42:12,660
Who?
892
00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:15,020
John, Paul, George and Ringo.
The Beatles.
893
00:42:15,020 --> 00:42:17,780
Which beetles is this? The insect
beetles or the car Beetles?
894
00:42:17,780 --> 00:42:19,180
The pop group, Beatles.
895
00:42:19,180 --> 00:42:21,300
Nick, help me out here.
896
00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:22,980
Right, yes...
897
00:42:23,980 --> 00:42:25,900
There's this problem with musicians.
898
00:42:25,900 --> 00:42:28,740
They presume everyone else
has this encyclopaedic knowledge
899
00:42:28,740 --> 00:42:31,700
of obscure pop,
in this case The Beatles.
900
00:42:33,140 --> 00:42:35,580
Wow, this is the most complicated
joke I've ever heard.
901
00:42:35,580 --> 00:42:37,900
It's a very nice song.
It's not a very nice song, Nick.
902
00:42:37,900 --> 00:42:39,860
It's one of the greatest
songs ever written.
903
00:42:39,860 --> 00:42:42,460
Well, it's not Coldplay.
It's not Fix You.
904
00:42:46,260 --> 00:42:47,500
Mega scene, that!
905
00:42:48,580 --> 00:42:52,500
Now, in the clip, I feel
as though you should tell people.
906
00:42:52,500 --> 00:42:54,900
In the clip, you've got
two teeth missing there. Yeah.
907
00:42:54,900 --> 00:42:56,100
Explain what that was.
908
00:42:56,100 --> 00:42:58,700
Well, obviously, Jack
loses his teeth in the accident,
909
00:42:58,700 --> 00:43:01,260
but we had this amazing guy,
Chris Lyons, who created
910
00:43:01,260 --> 00:43:03,420
this little, like,
a gumshield, basically,
911
00:43:03,420 --> 00:43:06,100
but you put it in, and it looks
like your teeth are missing.
912
00:43:06,100 --> 00:43:07,500
It is ultra-realistic, that.
913
00:43:07,500 --> 00:43:08,540
It felt horrible.
914
00:43:08,540 --> 00:43:09,620
Have you got his number?
915
00:43:09,620 --> 00:43:12,660
Because I've got a colleague with
two big, prominent front teeth.
916
00:43:15,580 --> 00:43:17,940
People often think
he's a seven-foot rabbit.
917
00:43:17,940 --> 00:43:20,460
Oh, right, OK(!)
918
00:43:21,900 --> 00:43:24,180
Who are they talking about?
919
00:43:24,180 --> 00:43:25,820
What are you looking at, Danny?
920
00:43:25,820 --> 00:43:28,100
Nobody! No, no!
921
00:43:28,100 --> 00:43:30,780
I think it's time to
find out how you guys got on
922
00:43:30,780 --> 00:43:33,140
in our reasonably
fast car on the track.
923
00:43:33,140 --> 00:43:36,100
You've been on before,
but it was in the Kia Ceed? Yes!
924
00:43:36,100 --> 00:43:37,780
How did you find the GT 86?
925
00:43:37,780 --> 00:43:38,940
It's much more powerful!
926
00:43:38,940 --> 00:43:40,780
Goodness me,
it's much more powerful.
927
00:43:40,780 --> 00:43:43,060
You drove the automatic, didn't you?
I did, yeah.
928
00:43:43,060 --> 00:43:45,620
And it was very, very exciting.
It is very, very addictive.
929
00:43:45,620 --> 00:43:47,380
You were very, very competitive. No!
930
00:43:47,380 --> 00:43:49,980
When I was in a car with you,
you were like, "Can we do it?"
931
00:43:49,980 --> 00:43:52,180
I was, like, "All right, Danny,
let's go for it!"
932
00:43:52,180 --> 00:43:55,020
No, I just wanted to set up Hamish
to win to make him look good.
933
00:43:55,020 --> 00:43:57,380
You're a Toyota veteran
with all these Yarises,
934
00:43:57,380 --> 00:43:59,260
so you must have felt right at home!
935
00:43:59,260 --> 00:44:01,660
I mean, it was a big step up.
936
00:44:03,740 --> 00:44:06,860
- Well, who wants to see the laps?
- Yes!
937
00:44:06,860 --> 00:44:09,820
All right, then.
Let's have a look at Himesh's first.
938
00:44:12,940 --> 00:44:15,420
Off the line.
200 horsepower.
939
00:44:15,420 --> 00:44:16,500
Danny Boyle.
940
00:44:17,580 --> 00:44:18,900
He's got an Oscar.
941
00:44:19,980 --> 00:44:22,940
He's got a Golden Globe,
I think, a BAFTA.
942
00:44:24,420 --> 00:44:26,300
You're not having this one, mate.
943
00:44:28,260 --> 00:44:29,340
Really?
944
00:44:29,340 --> 00:44:31,260
You've got to go
a bit quicker than that.
945
00:44:31,260 --> 00:44:32,820
It's looking a bit slow.
946
00:44:32,820 --> 00:44:34,620
Lacking aggression.
947
00:44:34,620 --> 00:44:37,740
Got to beat Danny, got to beat
Danny, got to beat Danny!
948
00:44:37,740 --> 00:44:39,780
OK, you beat Danny.
949
00:44:39,780 --> 00:44:41,140
Hammerhead.
950
00:44:42,980 --> 00:44:45,220
A kind way of putting it
is "walking pace".
951
00:44:47,740 --> 00:44:49,980
He's left some in the locker,
let's face it.
952
00:44:49,980 --> 00:44:51,300
Through the tyres.
953
00:44:52,580 --> 00:44:53,860
Whoo!
954
00:44:55,300 --> 00:44:58,380
Now, the crucial section,
second to last.
955
00:44:58,380 --> 00:45:00,420
Danny, I think you're going down!
956
00:45:00,420 --> 00:45:03,620
Gambon's critical,
don't run too wide...
957
00:45:03,620 --> 00:45:05,340
And over the line.
Nice.
958
00:45:05,340 --> 00:45:07,020
Not bad.
Nice!
959
00:45:10,420 --> 00:45:13,420
Himesh, here's the lap board.
Right.
960
00:45:13,420 --> 00:45:15,380
Where would you like to be?
961
00:45:15,380 --> 00:45:17,820
I'd love to be just
above David Tennant,
962
00:45:17,820 --> 00:45:20,060
because I know David,
we did a play together
963
00:45:20,060 --> 00:45:22,740
and I just think it would be
quite fun to beat him...
964
00:45:22,740 --> 00:45:24,660
at something!
965
00:45:24,660 --> 00:45:25,780
Well, Himesh,
966
00:45:25,780 --> 00:45:27,820
I can tell you...
967
00:45:27,820 --> 00:45:29,660
He's still struggling...
968
00:45:31,580 --> 00:45:33,780
You just ruined the tension, then!
969
00:45:35,420 --> 00:45:38,860
That you did it in one minute...
970
00:45:38,860 --> 00:45:41,260
Forty..
971
00:45:42,620 --> 00:45:44,180
Four...
972
00:45:44,180 --> 00:45:46,220
point eight. Ooh!
973
00:45:46,220 --> 00:45:50,220
So here we go, just slot in
just under David Tennant.
974
00:45:50,220 --> 00:45:51,260
I know.
975
00:45:54,340 --> 00:45:55,500
Time for Danny's lap.
976
00:45:55,500 --> 00:45:57,740
Now, I know that you two have
both won big awards.
977
00:45:57,740 --> 00:46:00,700
Danny you've got an Oscar,
Himesh has got an Inside Soap Award.
978
00:46:00,700 --> 00:46:02,140
Thank you, yeah.
979
00:46:02,140 --> 00:46:03,900
Is that right?
980
00:46:03,900 --> 00:46:06,940
But this is the big one,
so this is going to settle it.
981
00:46:06,940 --> 00:46:08,500
Let's have a look at Danny's lap.
982
00:46:08,500 --> 00:46:09,780
Oh, my God. Here we go!
983
00:46:11,500 --> 00:46:13,980
Subaru engine in a Toyota.
Weird thing.
984
00:46:13,980 --> 00:46:16,900
Himesh drives a Toyota Yaris
and we're in a Toyota!
985
00:46:20,180 --> 00:46:22,300
I think this is a fix!
986
00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:26,420
Round Chicago.
987
00:46:26,420 --> 00:46:30,180
Again, not really
leaning on those tyres.
988
00:46:30,180 --> 00:46:32,060
So yeah, I think it's a stitch-up.
989
00:46:32,060 --> 00:46:34,700
I think the Toyota thing is just,
it's too obvious really.
990
00:46:34,700 --> 00:46:37,460
Some people have put that together,
it's an obvious thing.
991
00:46:37,460 --> 00:46:39,420
Very fluent talker behind the wheel.
992
00:46:39,420 --> 00:46:41,260
Ever considered a job on Top Gear?
993
00:46:42,740 --> 00:46:44,700
Now the crucial section,
second to last.
994
00:46:44,700 --> 00:46:47,420
I got to make it round
this corner, basically.
995
00:46:47,420 --> 00:46:49,260
So stab on the brakes.
996
00:46:50,300 --> 00:46:51,660
Here we go, looking good.
997
00:46:51,660 --> 00:46:54,300
Looking good! Looking good.
998
00:46:54,300 --> 00:46:55,860
Looking terrible.
999
00:47:00,740 --> 00:47:02,260
The puckered lips of a man
1000
00:47:02,260 --> 00:47:05,380
who's just had a full code brown
over Gambon.
1001
00:47:05,380 --> 00:47:07,020
Oh...
1002
00:47:08,300 --> 00:47:11,980
There were some quick bits there.
Very quick bits.
1003
00:47:13,820 --> 00:47:15,420
Doing all right until then.
1004
00:47:15,420 --> 00:47:19,100
That was some world-class
puckering going on there.
1005
00:47:19,100 --> 00:47:21,900
What do you think, Danny?
Do you think you've got him covered?
1006
00:47:21,900 --> 00:47:24,700
I think I just allowed
him through at the end, really.
1007
00:47:24,700 --> 00:47:26,700
Otherwise I think
I could have beaten him,
1008
00:47:26,700 --> 00:47:28,660
but I put it on the grass,
so there you go.
1009
00:47:28,660 --> 00:47:32,100
Himesh did a 1:44:8.
1010
00:47:32,100 --> 00:47:33,380
Oh, yeah.
1011
00:47:33,380 --> 00:47:34,500
Danny Boyle...
1012
00:47:35,980 --> 00:47:37,620
you did...
1013
00:47:37,620 --> 00:47:39,900
A one minute...
1014
00:47:39,900 --> 00:47:42,020
Forty...
1015
00:47:42,020 --> 00:47:43,340
four...
1016
00:47:43,340 --> 00:47:44,860
Oh, stop it!
1017
00:47:44,860 --> 00:47:46,620
Point...
1018
00:47:46,620 --> 00:47:48,500
seven!
1019
00:47:48,500 --> 00:47:52,980
You're kidding! You're kidding!
Is that right?
1020
00:47:52,980 --> 00:47:55,180
Look at that!
1021
00:47:55,180 --> 00:47:57,820
Is that right?
0.1 of a second. Wow!
1022
00:47:57,820 --> 00:48:01,140
Is that right? Seriously?
Unbelievable, innit?
1023
00:48:02,500 --> 00:48:05,060
Ladies and gentlemen,
Danny Boyle and Himesh Patel!
1024
00:48:08,900 --> 00:48:12,300
Now time to get back
to our home-made electric cars,
1025
00:48:12,300 --> 00:48:16,020
where our tour of the Midlands
was about to crank up a gear.
1026
00:48:21,820 --> 00:48:25,580
It was the start of another day
of life as electric car owners.
1027
00:48:25,580 --> 00:48:27,500
Heads up!
1028
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:30,980
And after a full night's recharge,
it was time to get back
1029
00:48:30,980 --> 00:48:34,060
to testing our sports cars
by heading to Telford...
1030
00:48:34,060 --> 00:48:35,180
again.
1031
00:48:35,180 --> 00:48:38,180
Because to find out
what the public made of our cars,
1032
00:48:38,180 --> 00:48:40,180
the producers had
got us each a stand
1033
00:48:40,180 --> 00:48:42,620
at a local low emissions
vehicle Expo
1034
00:48:42,620 --> 00:48:45,860
and told us to go and create a buzz.
1035
00:48:45,860 --> 00:48:50,500
I had a little look at it online
and we've got to take it serious.
1036
00:48:50,500 --> 00:48:52,780
I mean, a lot of
the big boys are there.
1037
00:48:52,780 --> 00:48:55,540
There's Toyota, Tesla,
Volkswagen are there.
1038
00:48:55,540 --> 00:48:58,260
And I'm not too worried
about turning up in the Nissan Leaf
1039
00:48:58,260 --> 00:49:00,180
because it's all-singing,
all-dancing.
1040
00:49:00,180 --> 00:49:04,380
What I am worried about is those two
turning up in those two horrors.
1041
00:49:05,700 --> 00:49:08,980
If electric cars are going to sell,
they have to be sexy.
1042
00:49:08,980 --> 00:49:11,140
And the Spitfire, wow.
1043
00:49:11,140 --> 00:49:12,740
Just look at it!
1044
00:49:12,740 --> 00:49:15,100
Have another look at it.
1045
00:49:16,580 --> 00:49:19,180
You won't be able to get
near my stand and this car.
1046
00:49:19,180 --> 00:49:23,540
Once people see it, the Brat
is going to blow their minds.
1047
00:49:23,540 --> 00:49:25,020
Optimistic.
1048
00:49:25,020 --> 00:49:29,740
Still, soon we reached
the Telford International Centre,
1049
00:49:29,740 --> 00:49:33,140
where the Expo was
already in full swing.
1050
00:49:33,140 --> 00:49:36,900
With our stands ready and waiting
and some big business hitters
1051
00:49:36,900 --> 00:49:40,660
to impress, the aim of the game
was to draw a crowd
1052
00:49:40,660 --> 00:49:44,140
and to get the highest number
of likes we could for our cars.
1053
00:49:45,580 --> 00:49:47,100
Whoa, whoa!
1054
00:49:47,100 --> 00:49:48,380
Thank you, thank you.
1055
00:49:48,380 --> 00:49:52,980
Today, I am going to
show you the first of a kind.
1056
00:49:52,980 --> 00:49:54,940
A lifestyle solution.
1057
00:49:54,940 --> 00:49:56,900
Get them cameras ready.
1058
00:49:56,900 --> 00:49:58,340
Feast your eyes.
1059
00:50:01,420 --> 00:50:03,020
Come on, let's get going!
1060
00:50:03,020 --> 00:50:05,060
Now Flintoff's big pitch...
1061
00:50:05,060 --> 00:50:06,260
Come on!
1062
00:50:06,260 --> 00:50:08,620
..was charging his car
through exercise.
1063
00:50:08,620 --> 00:50:10,780
Not as fit as I used to be.
1064
00:50:10,780 --> 00:50:13,220
But that's the beauty of the Mute,
I get fitter
1065
00:50:13,220 --> 00:50:15,020
while the car goes faster.
1066
00:50:15,020 --> 00:50:20,420
And while that terrible idea played
out, Harris had taken his outside.
1067
00:50:20,420 --> 00:50:24,100
I wanted to demonstrate to you
this sort of moving motor show idea.
1068
00:50:24,100 --> 00:50:27,180
As you know, building a brand,
if you want to sell something
1069
00:50:27,180 --> 00:50:30,940
ordinary, you need a fast, sexy
vehicle at the head of the range,
1070
00:50:30,940 --> 00:50:33,860
and that's the space
the Spit-e-fire occupies.
1071
00:50:33,860 --> 00:50:35,580
It's the aspirational vehicle.
1072
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:40,100
Underwhelming.
1073
00:50:40,100 --> 00:50:41,460
What a surprise.
1074
00:50:41,460 --> 00:50:44,100
Time for a lesson in showmanship.
1075
00:50:44,100 --> 00:50:45,220
Let me hear ya!
1076
00:50:47,660 --> 00:50:52,420
Oooooh!
1077
00:50:52,420 --> 00:50:55,260
Yes! There it is!
1078
00:50:55,260 --> 00:50:58,100
It's electric, eh?
1079
00:50:58,100 --> 00:51:01,740
And it's safe to say
my stand was buzzing!
1080
00:51:01,740 --> 00:51:05,100
She's won the
travel pillow, everybody!
1081
00:51:05,100 --> 00:51:06,580
But the question was...
1082
00:51:06,580 --> 00:51:07,940
This green one here.
1083
00:51:07,940 --> 00:51:09,460
The green one?
1084
00:51:09,460 --> 00:51:12,340
Which car did Telford like best?
1085
00:51:12,340 --> 00:51:14,980
Press the button!
Speed it up!
1086
00:51:14,980 --> 00:51:17,420
'Ey up. Oh, God.
1087
00:51:17,420 --> 00:51:20,020
You all right?
You don't seem very enthused.
1088
00:51:20,020 --> 00:51:21,140
What are you waiting?
1089
00:51:21,140 --> 00:51:22,740
Show business, my friend.
1090
00:51:22,740 --> 00:51:24,260
Deal with it.
1091
00:51:24,260 --> 00:51:25,860
Right, got the results.
1092
00:51:27,460 --> 00:51:31,380
Chris, you've got
76 green smiley faces.
1093
00:51:31,380 --> 00:51:32,460
Well done, Chris!
1094
00:51:32,460 --> 00:51:34,260
That is match-winning, surely?
1095
00:51:34,260 --> 00:51:38,940
Freddie, you got
112 green smiley faces.
1096
00:51:38,940 --> 00:51:41,100
Thank you.
Can I win something? Please.
1097
00:51:41,100 --> 00:51:43,060
112?
1098
00:51:43,060 --> 00:51:45,620
Paddy. That's me. Yeah.
1099
00:51:45,620 --> 00:51:51,700
This you got 174 green smiley faces!
1100
00:51:51,700 --> 00:51:53,500
But it wasn't about the car.
1101
00:51:53,500 --> 00:51:56,420
174 green... Thank you.
1102
00:51:56,420 --> 00:51:59,900
It was tombolas, it was...
It was glittery jackets.
1103
00:51:59,900 --> 00:52:01,940
What, am I listening to you two?
1104
00:52:01,940 --> 00:52:04,020
You've dressed
as a geography teacher,
1105
00:52:04,020 --> 00:52:05,860
and he looks
like he works at Ikea.
1106
00:52:05,860 --> 00:52:08,500
Right, you will now head
to the Nottinghamshire town
1107
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:10,940
of Mansfield for an endurance race.
1108
00:52:10,940 --> 00:52:12,660
That's me.
1109
00:52:12,660 --> 00:52:15,460
You're heard
of the 24-hour Le Mans.
1110
00:52:15,460 --> 00:52:18,500
Well, this is the 24 minutes
of Le Mans... field.
1111
00:52:18,500 --> 00:52:20,420
Oh, yes! I like it.
1112
00:52:20,420 --> 00:52:23,660
Oh, hang up. The race starts in
two hours. Don't be late.
1113
00:52:23,660 --> 00:52:25,700
OK. Drive safe. Yeah.
1114
00:52:30,620 --> 00:52:33,860
I know I've not excelled
in the first two disciplines.
1115
00:52:33,860 --> 00:52:37,420
However, this last challenge suits
me down to the ground, doesn't it?
1116
00:52:37,420 --> 00:52:39,260
A 24-minute race.
1117
00:52:39,260 --> 00:52:42,180
I'm light, I'm easy on tyres,
brakes are not so good,
1118
00:52:42,180 --> 00:52:44,180
but I got very good acceleration
1119
00:52:44,180 --> 00:52:46,780
and I think this thing
will last for 24 minutes.
1120
00:52:46,780 --> 00:52:50,580
I'm not sure the Subaru
will and I'm certain the Leaf won't.
1121
00:52:50,580 --> 00:52:52,340
Harris had a point.
1122
00:52:52,340 --> 00:52:54,820
Oh, God!
It's happening again!
1123
00:52:54,820 --> 00:52:57,540
But over in the Mute,
life is made easier
1124
00:52:57,540 --> 00:52:58,860
by a secret weapon.
1125
00:52:58,860 --> 00:53:00,940
So, you could spend
your life like Paddy,
1126
00:53:00,940 --> 00:53:03,460
worrying every time
you touch the accelerator,
1127
00:53:03,460 --> 00:53:07,420
or you could have kept your engine
in the car
1128
00:53:07,420 --> 00:53:09,940
and just slip into...
1129
00:53:11,340 --> 00:53:13,060
petrol mode.
1130
00:53:13,060 --> 00:53:14,140
Shssh!
1131
00:53:15,860 --> 00:53:19,220
And that little stroke of genius
meant the drive to Mansfield
1132
00:53:19,220 --> 00:53:21,020
was very relaxed.
1133
00:53:21,020 --> 00:53:22,700
Well, for me.
1134
00:53:22,700 --> 00:53:26,540
I've got 18 miles left
and that's not real miles,
1135
00:53:26,540 --> 00:53:28,420
that's electric miles, so God knows.
1136
00:53:33,580 --> 00:53:35,580
Mansfield -
1137
00:53:35,580 --> 00:53:39,180
seventh largest town
in the East Midlands and now home
1138
00:53:39,180 --> 00:53:43,020
to the latest chapter
in endurance motorsport.
1139
00:53:43,020 --> 00:53:47,900
Ionic, Leaf, Zoe, Smart EQ ForTwo.
1140
00:53:47,900 --> 00:53:51,060
The grid was packed with the biggest
names in the affordable
1141
00:53:51,060 --> 00:53:52,700
electric car market.
1142
00:53:52,700 --> 00:53:56,220
Big names we would now battle
to prove our cars
1143
00:53:56,220 --> 00:53:59,700
were the sports cars
of the future.
1144
00:54:03,100 --> 00:54:04,780
Let's see what's what.
1145
00:54:10,260 --> 00:54:13,620
You all right?
Lovely day for it.
1146
00:54:13,620 --> 00:54:15,420
This is proper, isn't it?
1147
00:54:15,420 --> 00:54:18,100
Crowd are at fever pitch!
1148
00:54:18,100 --> 00:54:21,220
Hang on.
Why's your bonnet hot?
1149
00:54:21,220 --> 00:54:23,620
Must be t'batteries,
batteries getting warm.
1150
00:54:23,620 --> 00:54:26,220
Battery's in the back.
Rumbled.
1151
00:54:27,700 --> 00:54:29,780
No!
You've got an engine in your car?
1152
00:54:29,780 --> 00:54:31,420
I was worried about range.
1153
00:54:31,420 --> 00:54:33,180
You can't use an engine
in this race.
1154
00:54:33,180 --> 00:54:34,660
I'm not going to use it in the race!
1155
00:54:34,660 --> 00:54:36,740
Have you got sandpaper
in your pocket as well?
1156
00:54:36,740 --> 00:54:38,020
Oh, don't be like that, Chris!
1157
00:54:38,020 --> 00:54:39,660
I'm going to
swear on me Three Lions,
1158
00:54:39,660 --> 00:54:41,500
I will not use the engine
in the race.
1159
00:54:41,500 --> 00:54:44,660
Right, well, we'd better crack on
because sometimes when it rains,
1160
00:54:44,660 --> 00:54:47,340
on camera it can make
your hair look a bit thin.
1161
00:54:47,340 --> 00:54:49,220
It's just an optical illusion, lads.
1162
00:54:49,220 --> 00:54:51,380
Let's go!
Let's do this!
1163
00:54:52,540 --> 00:54:54,620
He's thinning?
How thin is he?
1164
00:54:55,620 --> 00:54:59,140
So, 24 minutes of urban racing.
1165
00:54:59,140 --> 00:55:01,220
Most laps in the time wins.
1166
00:55:04,780 --> 00:55:07,140
Here we go, it's Le Mans-field!
1167
00:55:07,140 --> 00:55:09,380
Out of the way, Flintoff!
1168
00:55:09,380 --> 00:55:11,100
Whoa, Harris!
1169
00:55:11,100 --> 00:55:12,460
Sorry, Fred!
1170
00:55:12,460 --> 00:55:15,260
There's batteries
in the back of there!
1171
00:55:15,260 --> 00:55:18,380
One corner in and Harris's
shunt meant McGuinness
1172
00:55:18,380 --> 00:55:20,260
was already pulling away.
1173
00:55:20,260 --> 00:55:25,900
The 105 GTR GTI TTI
R Sport Leaf has leafed...!
1174
00:55:25,900 --> 00:55:27,860
Has leafed everyone for dead.
1175
00:55:27,860 --> 00:55:30,420
I've not looked at
my range yet, I daren't.
1176
00:55:30,420 --> 00:55:33,500
I'm just going to keep
going until I feel it slow down.
1177
00:55:37,780 --> 00:55:40,860
Fair play, boys.
They're not hanging about!
1178
00:55:40,860 --> 00:55:43,020
McGuinness is just gone!
1179
00:55:43,020 --> 00:55:46,060
I cannot tell you how badly
the weight distribution
1180
00:55:46,060 --> 00:55:47,300
affects the brakes.
1181
00:55:47,300 --> 00:55:51,020
I've just got horrendous oversteer,
when I thought I'd have traction,
1182
00:55:51,020 --> 00:55:52,780
and then I've got no brakes.
1183
00:55:52,780 --> 00:55:57,100
The weight sort of toboggans
me forward at the corners.
1184
00:55:57,100 --> 00:56:03,020
And the Mansfield pedestrianised
track wasn't exactly grippy either.
1185
00:56:03,020 --> 00:56:07,740
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Took a couple
of the hay bales there.
1186
00:56:07,740 --> 00:56:09,940
That's the trouble with this course.
1187
00:56:09,940 --> 00:56:13,860
You see, on a normal racing track,
you might get on a bit of gravel.
1188
00:56:13,860 --> 00:56:16,940
Go off track here, you're straight
through the window of a Greggs.
1189
00:56:16,940 --> 00:56:18,780
Impaled on a steak bake!
1190
00:56:18,780 --> 00:56:20,260
What a way to go.
1191
00:56:22,740 --> 00:56:24,420
Back down the field, though,
1192
00:56:24,420 --> 00:56:27,060
steak bakes were the least of their
problems.
1193
00:56:27,060 --> 00:56:30,500
Oh, no! I've got that other
Nissan flipping Leaf up my chuff!
1194
00:56:31,860 --> 00:56:34,820
Oh, he's going for it!
He's going for it!
1195
00:56:34,820 --> 00:56:36,060
Swine!
1196
00:56:36,060 --> 00:56:37,660
Swine!!
1197
00:56:37,660 --> 00:56:41,340
And to makes matters worse,
out in front, McGuinness was making
1198
00:56:41,340 --> 00:56:42,380
it look easy!
1199
00:56:42,380 --> 00:56:44,380
Give the crowd a little beep.
1200
00:56:44,380 --> 00:56:47,140
That's what they want! That's what
they've come out for today!
1201
00:56:47,140 --> 00:56:50,140
They've come out for the glamour,
for the excitement!
1202
00:56:50,140 --> 00:56:51,940
And with Flintoff at the wheel...
1203
00:56:51,940 --> 00:56:53,540
Keep it quick, keep it quick!
1204
00:56:53,540 --> 00:56:55,340
..excitement is never far away.
1205
00:56:56,300 --> 00:56:57,620
Oh.
1206
00:56:59,180 --> 00:57:01,300
Whoa!
1207
00:57:08,220 --> 00:57:09,980
We'd reached the halfway mark,
1208
00:57:09,980 --> 00:57:13,500
and while Freddie had been busy
ram-raiding the Market Square,
1209
00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:15,740
he wasn't the only one
with problems.
1210
00:57:18,420 --> 00:57:20,820
Terrible noises!
Something is broken.
1211
00:57:22,900 --> 00:57:26,180
Aw, there's no acceleration,
it's dying!
1212
00:57:26,180 --> 00:57:27,780
I was streaking ahead.
1213
00:57:27,780 --> 00:57:30,140
I can't believe this,
I'm going to have to pull in.
1214
00:57:30,140 --> 00:57:34,140
As I headed for the pits,
Flintoff got back on track.
1215
00:57:35,780 --> 00:57:37,500
And started his comeback.
1216
00:57:38,580 --> 00:57:40,820
Keep on the road, Brat.
Keep going, baby!
1217
00:57:40,820 --> 00:57:41,980
Keep going!
1218
00:57:45,020 --> 00:57:46,340
Briefly.
1219
00:57:47,580 --> 00:57:48,700
And that meant...
1220
00:57:48,700 --> 00:57:50,300
Where are them lot?
1221
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:51,820
..I was still in with a chance.
1222
00:57:55,580 --> 00:57:58,660
No!
A Renault Zoe?
1223
00:57:58,660 --> 00:58:00,340
No, no!
1224
00:58:00,340 --> 00:58:02,820
That's going to have to be enough!
1225
00:58:02,820 --> 00:58:05,220
I can't hang on any longer!
1226
00:58:05,220 --> 00:58:08,420
Oh, five minutes to go,
where is McGuinness?
1227
00:58:08,420 --> 00:58:09,900
Where is McGuinness?
1228
00:58:10,940 --> 00:58:13,860
This was it,
the final stages of the race.
1229
00:58:13,860 --> 00:58:15,140
Right, let's go. Come on!
1230
00:58:15,140 --> 00:58:17,020
See if we can make
up a bit of time again.
1231
00:58:17,020 --> 00:58:19,780
All we could do now was hold on...
1232
00:58:19,780 --> 00:58:24,220
I think the Spitfire
might be making her last journey!
1233
00:58:24,220 --> 00:58:27,140
..and try to finish
as many laps as we could.
1234
00:58:28,220 --> 00:58:30,020
Oh, I can see them in the distance!
1235
00:58:31,260 --> 00:58:33,140
Oh, is that McGuinness behind me?
1236
00:58:33,140 --> 00:58:34,780
Oh, no!
1237
00:58:34,780 --> 00:58:36,660
He knows I'm there!
1238
00:58:36,660 --> 00:58:37,860
Here I come.
1239
00:58:38,940 --> 00:58:39,980
Three minutes to go.
1240
00:58:39,980 --> 00:58:42,020
Just got to last three
minutes. Come on!
1241
00:58:42,020 --> 00:58:43,780
She's really broken now.
1242
00:58:43,780 --> 00:58:46,580
I am right on Flintoff!
1243
00:58:48,820 --> 00:58:50,940
This is where it happens!
1244
00:58:50,940 --> 00:58:53,740
Brake, brake, brake.
Do not make that mistake again.
1245
00:58:53,740 --> 00:58:56,100
Oh! Come on!
1246
00:58:57,140 --> 00:58:58,380
No way through.
1247
00:58:58,380 --> 00:58:59,500
Yes!
1248
00:58:59,500 --> 00:59:01,740
Chew on that, Paddy, lad!
Chew on that!
1249
00:59:03,940 --> 00:59:05,500
Oh!
1250
00:59:05,500 --> 00:59:07,580
I don't think I've ever
been more pleased
1251
00:59:07,580 --> 00:59:10,340
to see a chequered flag
in my life.
1252
00:59:10,340 --> 00:59:12,740
Well done, the Spitfire!
1253
00:59:25,660 --> 00:59:29,180
And a massive thanks
to the good people of Mansfield
1254
00:59:29,180 --> 00:59:31,220
for letting us take over their town.
1255
00:59:31,220 --> 00:59:33,940
But most importantly, gentlemen,
1256
00:59:33,940 --> 00:59:35,980
the results are in.
1257
00:59:37,580 --> 00:59:39,020
Oh, I know it's exciting.
1258
00:59:40,700 --> 00:59:42,340
In third place,
1259
00:59:42,340 --> 00:59:44,380
with 15 laps...
1260
00:59:44,380 --> 00:59:46,220
Must be a typo, this.
1261
00:59:48,820 --> 00:59:50,020
Paddy McGuinness.
1262
00:59:50,020 --> 00:59:52,220
Aw, it was a good effort,
Paddy. Yeah!
1263
00:59:52,220 --> 00:59:53,700
What?!
1264
00:59:53,700 --> 00:59:55,180
It was a good effort, Paddy.
1265
00:59:55,180 --> 00:59:56,660
What?
1266
00:59:56,660 --> 00:59:57,860
15!
1267
00:59:57,860 --> 00:59:58,940
15!
1268
00:59:58,940 --> 01:00:02,020
This car won every challenge!
1269
01:00:02,020 --> 01:00:04,620
It won the power station lap,
it won the Expo.
1270
01:00:04,620 --> 01:00:06,980
I've got this terrible cramp
in my right hand.
1271
01:00:06,980 --> 01:00:10,020
That car, they spent £9 billion
developing that
1272
01:00:10,020 --> 01:00:11,820
and it does 15 laps
at Mansfield.
1273
01:00:11,820 --> 01:00:14,020
Couldn't even catch me, boys.
1274
01:00:14,020 --> 01:00:16,220
I had to come off to give
you a bit of a chance.
1275
01:00:16,220 --> 01:00:19,020
Right, in second place with 18 laps.
1276
01:00:19,020 --> 01:00:20,620
Three laps more...
1277
01:00:23,060 --> 01:00:24,140
It's Chris Harris.
1278
01:00:24,140 --> 01:00:26,820
Oh-ho-ho!
1279
01:00:28,940 --> 01:00:31,860
Oh, well done, Chris.
Well done, Chris.
1280
01:00:35,980 --> 01:00:37,260
What is that?
1281
01:00:37,260 --> 01:00:39,380
How is that even possible?
1282
01:00:40,980 --> 01:00:44,900
Which means, in first place,
also with 18 laps...
1283
01:00:44,900 --> 01:00:46,980
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
So it's a draw!
1284
01:00:46,980 --> 01:00:48,940
No, it's not a draw.
1285
01:00:48,940 --> 01:00:51,340
We went round for 24
minutes, we did 18 laps.
1286
01:00:51,340 --> 01:00:53,060
Like the Olympics.
The 400 metres.
1287
01:00:53,060 --> 01:00:55,500
You do the same distance,
but who comes first?
1288
01:00:55,500 --> 01:00:57,340
I came first, you never passed me!
1289
01:00:57,340 --> 01:00:58,460
He has got a point.
1290
01:00:59,860 --> 01:01:02,700
You might have been the
best out of the three of us, Fred,
1291
01:01:02,700 --> 01:01:05,740
but actually, all three of us came
last in that race.
1292
01:01:05,740 --> 01:01:08,940
We were beaten by all the other
boring electric cars.
1293
01:01:08,940 --> 01:01:12,140
Can you believe that?
All of them beat these three.
1294
01:01:12,140 --> 01:01:15,340
So, at the top of the show
we asked, can you build an exciting
1295
01:01:15,340 --> 01:01:17,580
electric sports car on a budget?
1296
01:01:17,580 --> 01:01:20,660
And the answer is, it seems, no.
1297
01:01:23,620 --> 01:01:25,380
That is science!
Awkward!
1298
01:01:25,380 --> 01:01:28,300
But the problem is the batteries.
It's used batteries.
1299
01:01:28,300 --> 01:01:33,060
An 11 plate Leaf, done 80,000 miles,
has a range of 35 miles.
1300
01:01:33,060 --> 01:01:34,500
So it's technically a write-off.
1301
01:01:34,500 --> 01:01:36,780
It's an utterly useless car,
which you made uglier.
1302
01:01:36,780 --> 01:01:39,180
That's all well and good, Chris,
but can we get back
1303
01:01:39,180 --> 01:01:40,540
to the point of this? I won!
1304
01:01:40,540 --> 01:01:42,140
Oh, God!
1305
01:01:42,140 --> 01:01:43,500
Thank you!
Thank you, lads!
1306
01:01:43,500 --> 01:01:46,940
Don't encourage him!
Don't encourage him!
1307
01:01:48,300 --> 01:01:50,460
Oh...
1308
01:01:56,180 --> 01:01:58,340
I'm pulling the plug!
I'm pulling the plug!
1309
01:01:58,340 --> 01:02:00,860
Thanks for watching,
see you next week. Good night!
