Wow, again, I expected a few to score higher. Especially the lorry challenge, the demise of James’ piano and the murder of Jeremy’s drum kit was hilarious, and so was the rest of the ep.

Perhaps the guys dressed in black, pushing the car out the back of Richard’s trailer had something to do with it! 😀

Wow, I hadn’t noticed that until you mentioned it. I usually notice when something is faked (like the gas cannon powered Twingo 133 sea jump). That doesn’t deduct from the fact that the episode was still funny though.
