Episode Description

"Captain Slow" is put through his paces, as Jackie Stewart attempts to prove he can cut May's best lap time around the Oulton Park circuit by 20 seconds. Meanwhile, Clarkson hopes the madness of the Citroën CX has rubbed off on the new Citroën C6 and tries out the Prodrive P2 concept car on the track, a team of Toyota Aygos defend their honour in a match of Car Football against a team of the new Volkswagen Fox, and Sir Michael Gambon returns to discuss his role as Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films before seeing how he fared in the Lacetti.

Episode Introduction

"Tonight, the new Citroen C6, hovercraft or horse manure? Jackie Stewart teaches Captain Slow how to drive. Don't bother watching the World Cup, cause we've sorted it already."

Stig Introduction

"Some say that the outline of his left nipple, is exactly the same shape as the Nurburgring. And if you give him a really important job to do, he'll skive off and play croquet. All we know is, he's called The Stig."
