*THE GRAND TOUR*
Season 03 Episode 03
2
00:00:53,972 --> 00:00:55,684
Episode Title : "
Columbia Special Part 2"
3
00:01:01,515 --> 00:01:04,035
Look at that. That
is a sturdy car, that is.
4
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,115
Isn't that a very popular
car with the gay community?
5
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,555
Is it?
6
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,195
- It's Hammond.
- That is Hammond.
7
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,195
- Is that your car?
- Yes, this is my car.
8
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,555
Why is your car there?
9
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,475
Because that's where
the boat dropped me off?
10
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,035
They got to here,
wrapped it in polythene,
11
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,251
lobbed it over the side, me with it.
That's how they do it.
12
00:01:21,336 --> 00:01:23,315
What's it say on that?
"Global Auto"?
13
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,492
Yeah, GAK.
14
00:01:24,578 --> 00:01:26,680
That's what they said
was the company.
15
00:01:28,078 --> 00:01:29,955
I bought it from
an English family
16
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,075
- who had bought a house in Tuscany.
- Tony Blair.
17
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,955
- Cherie Blair.
- Sting.
18
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,555
Every single lightweight
socialist in Britain
19
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,475
has been in this car.
20
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,155
We're now
leaving Cartagena
21
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:48,435
in our quest to find many
interesting animals to photograph.
22
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,755
Well, shrimping and forest products
obviously, er... pays well.
23
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,435
- Look at the boats out there.
- I know, that is amazing, isn't it?
24
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,075
You often see that. The
most humble of commodities
25
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,955
and it yields
just incredible wealth.
26
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,040
Ooh!
27
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,435
- - Argh!
- Turn it off!
28
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,075
It is one of the most stupid
pieces of engineering ever, that truck.
29
00:02:12,477 --> 00:02:15,255
Right, Jaguars, they are
very difficult to spot
30
00:02:15,340 --> 00:02:18,115
and very, very rare.
31
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,975
This is proper jungle now.
32
00:02:20,060 --> 00:02:22,835
Oh, dear.
33
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:24,995
I think I've just
lost the exhaust pipe.
34
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:28,295
What are we going to do?
35
00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:32,195
People could come out here for
40 years and not see a jaguar.
36
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,635
Well, we could
use my trap cameras.
37
00:02:35,602 --> 00:02:38,115
- He parked his car there.
- Yes.
38
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,175
- Turn it round.
- Oh, that'll mess with his head.
39
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:42,375
So he comes down in the morning.
Imagine his face.
40
00:02:42,460 --> 00:02:43,655
He'll think he's gone mad.
41
00:02:43,740 --> 00:02:46,735
One, two, three. Move it.
42
00:02:46,820 --> 00:02:48,155
One, two...
43
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,555
Did we get any pictures?
44
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,595
- Right. Ah, look, there!
- That's it!
45
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,895
There's his head,
there's his head.
46
00:02:54,980 --> 00:02:56,735
That's the ace of spades,
the jaguar.
47
00:02:56,820 --> 00:02:58,835
That's Saddam Hussein.
48
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:03,275
We've now gotta go and get his
sons, Uday... and the other one.
49
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,295
What was
his other son called?
50
00:03:05,380 --> 00:03:06,560
Edgar.
51
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,815
With the jaguar in the bag,
52
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:13,715
our sights were set
on the next target,
53
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,115
another rare and
reclusive creature.
54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,195
The spectacled bear.
55
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,035
We now have to drive
200 miles
56
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,735
to find the sort of terrain
57
00:03:24,820 --> 00:03:28,375
where we're gonna be
able to photograph
58
00:03:28,460 --> 00:03:31,695
the king of spades,
Edgar Hussein.
59
00:03:31,780 --> 00:03:33,395
Paddington.
60
00:03:34,688 --> 00:03:38,695
To help pass the time, entertainment
was provided by James,
61
00:03:38,828 --> 00:03:42,803
trying to overtake trucks
in his one-litre Panda.
62
00:03:43,881 --> 00:03:46,876
Right. No.
63
00:03:46,961 --> 00:03:50,576
He can't see past them cos his
steering wheel's on the correct side.
64
00:03:50,661 --> 00:03:53,236
Cor, bloody hellfire.
65
00:03:53,321 --> 00:03:55,056
So he has to lunge out of the...
66
00:03:55,141 --> 00:04:00,296
and then there's this ridiculously
roarty noise as he sets off.
67
00:04:02,641 --> 00:04:04,756
Holy crap! Come on, car.
68
00:04:08,921 --> 00:04:11,596
Oh, my God!
69
00:04:11,681 --> 00:04:15,316
Oh-ho, I enjoyed
watching that one.
70
00:04:15,401 --> 00:04:18,336
Right, blokes, I can't keep this
lorry-overtaking up all day.
71
00:04:18,421 --> 00:04:21,916
My ring piece is gonna be in tatters.
72
00:04:23,161 --> 00:04:25,156
What is wrong
with this bloke?
73
00:04:25,241 --> 00:04:29,116
I don't know what he's been
taking, but he's all over the shop.
74
00:04:29,201 --> 00:04:31,576
He's had a lot of shrimp.
The man's a... an idiot.
75
00:04:35,201 --> 00:04:40,936
As the day wore on, the Trump truck
proved to be its usual, reliable self.
76
00:04:42,561 --> 00:04:44,176
Oh, dear.
77
00:04:44,261 --> 00:04:45,516
Oh, dear.
78
00:04:45,601 --> 00:04:47,416
That's not good.
79
00:04:47,501 --> 00:04:49,836
That is bad.
80
00:04:50,761 --> 00:04:52,801
Oh, no.
81
00:04:52,921 --> 00:04:56,636
Oh, God.
82
00:04:56,721 --> 00:05:01,416
Just had a message asking if I'd
like to go back and help Mr Hammond,
83
00:05:01,501 --> 00:05:04,916
er, mend his monster truck.
84
00:05:05,001 --> 00:05:07,356
Let me think about that.
85
00:05:08,481 --> 00:05:10,116
No, I wouldn't.
86
00:05:11,521 --> 00:05:13,276
Out you come.
87
00:05:13,361 --> 00:05:15,696
Air-conditioning radiator.
88
00:05:15,781 --> 00:05:17,076
Useless.
89
00:05:17,161 --> 00:05:19,516
Still, could be worse.
90
00:05:19,601 --> 00:05:21,616
Could be him over there.
91
00:05:21,701 --> 00:05:22,796
Yeah.
92
00:05:22,881 --> 00:05:25,796
My guess is his brakes
have failed
93
00:05:25,881 --> 00:05:28,996
and he's hooked a wheel over
there to stop it rolling back.
94
00:05:31,201 --> 00:05:33,556
Er, is this you?
95
00:05:34,241 --> 00:05:35,316
You?
96
00:05:39,001 --> 00:05:41,356
Er, yeah, that, what he said.
97
00:05:46,321 --> 00:05:47,596
Huh?
98
00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:49,396
OK.
99
00:05:49,481 --> 00:05:51,836
Gracias.
100
00:05:54,121 --> 00:05:58,556
Eventually the world's greatest
linguist got his truck going...
101
00:06:00,961 --> 00:06:03,316
and caught us up.
102
00:06:07,681 --> 00:06:13,256
And the next morning we all woke in the
pretty hill town of Villa de Leyva.
103
00:06:29,241 --> 00:06:31,736
Why have you done this
to all my trousers?
104
00:06:31,821 --> 00:06:33,856
You said you were hot.
105
00:06:33,941 --> 00:06:35,396
Well, I am now.
106
00:06:46,801 --> 00:06:50,136
It's a Sunday morning in
a Spanish-speaking country.
107
00:06:50,221 --> 00:06:52,436
It's 8:15 am.
108
00:06:52,521 --> 00:06:55,536
Chances of a trouser shop
being open...?
109
00:06:55,621 --> 00:06:57,276
Nil.
110
00:06:57,361 --> 00:06:58,476
Jeremy.
111
00:06:58,561 --> 00:07:00,596
- Morning.
- How you doing?
112
00:07:00,681 --> 00:07:02,576
Very good.
Sorry, that's not...
113
00:07:02,661 --> 00:07:06,036
James and Richard
cut my trousers up.
114
00:07:06,121 --> 00:07:09,116
Why do I have to be recognised
here, for God's sake?
115
00:07:11,121 --> 00:07:15,836
Once I'd sorted the trouser
crisis, we continued onwards.
116
00:07:17,361 --> 00:07:19,716
Me Siento Loco
117
00:07:33,321 --> 00:07:37,916
And eventually we arrived
in spectacled bear country.
118
00:07:40,441 --> 00:07:41,916
Right, now, listen.
119
00:07:42,001 --> 00:07:44,344
- Erm... - Hohoho-ho.
- There's a lot to do.
120
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:45,836
- What?
- I don't like your trousers.
121
00:07:45,921 --> 00:07:47,896
Well, no, at least he's trying.
He's making an effort.
122
00:07:47,981 --> 00:07:49,336
You should have
gone the whole hog.
123
00:07:49,421 --> 00:07:50,816
Maybe some nice...
Hey, we're out...
124
00:07:50,901 --> 00:07:52,696
We're in the
outdoors, some nice chaps.
125
00:07:52,781 --> 00:07:54,956
Suede,
but ventilated at the back.
126
00:07:55,041 --> 00:07:57,296
And that shirt.
You've picked up that colour.
127
00:07:57,381 --> 00:07:58,996
Have you been getting advice?
128
00:07:59,081 --> 00:08:01,456
May we turn our attention to
the bears now, to Paddington?
129
00:08:01,541 --> 00:08:02,956
Your skin's flaking.
130
00:08:03,041 --> 00:08:05,076
- You should moisturise.
- It's... What?
131
00:08:05,161 --> 00:08:06,936
- You should moisturise.
- You should moisturise a little bit.
132
00:08:07,021 --> 00:08:08,816
- Why should I moisturise?
- Because your skin's flaking off.
133
00:08:08,901 --> 00:08:12,176
Because you're dry. You look like
something found in a pyramid.
134
00:08:12,261 --> 00:08:14,836
Anyway, listen,
we must turn our attention...
135
00:08:14,921 --> 00:08:17,636
- We
must turn our attention...
136
00:08:17,721 --> 00:08:19,056
"Let's have a look
at the sarcophagus.
137
00:08:19,141 --> 00:08:20,796
Argh!"
138
00:08:20,881 --> 00:08:24,616
"I'm not putting that in the
British Museum." -
139
00:08:24,701 --> 00:08:27,896
Rather than put up with
any more of this persecution,
140
00:08:27,981 --> 00:08:32,916
I insisted we saddle up and set
off to look for Paddington.
141
00:08:34,641 --> 00:08:36,936
I don't actually know... I've
seen a picture of these bears
142
00:08:37,021 --> 00:08:40,656
but I don't actually know how big they are.
Are they two feet or ten feet?
143
00:08:40,741 --> 00:08:43,676
I just don't know.
144
00:08:43,761 --> 00:08:47,076
Keep it diagonal, obviously,
while crossing these things.
145
00:08:47,841 --> 00:08:49,576
Oh, shite!
146
00:08:49,661 --> 00:08:51,276
Oh-ho!
147
00:08:51,361 --> 00:08:53,876
Oh-ho! Look at you
with a wheel in the air!
148
00:08:53,961 --> 00:08:56,376
Can we please try not to make
this look like it's a problem
149
00:08:56,461 --> 00:08:58,956
cos the ladies and gentlemen
will think we're hopeless.
150
00:09:00,401 --> 00:09:03,256
I tried to drive myself out.
151
00:09:03,341 --> 00:09:05,276
Which went well.
152
00:09:05,361 --> 00:09:08,376
Speed and power. -
He's just dug himself a hole!
153
00:09:08,461 --> 00:09:10,536
So I asked Hammond for help.
154
00:09:10,621 --> 00:09:13,136
But, predictably,
his pickup truck
155
00:09:13,221 --> 00:09:17,076
chose that moment to
go into one-wheel drive.
156
00:09:19,441 --> 00:09:21,396
Oh...
157
00:09:21,481 --> 00:09:23,516
Oh, dear.
158
00:09:23,601 --> 00:09:26,796
There was only one solution.
159
00:09:26,881 --> 00:09:28,336
- Could you give me a tow cos...
- No.
160
00:09:28,421 --> 00:09:30,036
No, I'm very close
to coming out.
161
00:09:30,121 --> 00:09:32,336
- Well, we know that. You've bought a Jeep.
- Yes, no, that's...
162
00:09:32,421 --> 00:09:34,756
Oh, I see.
163
00:09:37,521 --> 00:09:41,536
Every single time I open my mouth
now, you've got some reference...
164
00:09:41,621 --> 00:09:43,816
No, it's great. It's good.
165
00:09:43,901 --> 00:09:45,876
We're all friends.
166
00:09:45,961 --> 00:09:49,436
With the rope hitched up,
we were ready to go.
167
00:09:49,521 --> 00:09:51,516
So I'll give you a small tug.
168
00:09:51,601 --> 00:09:53,956
- Was that a gentle tug?
- There we go.
169
00:09:54,041 --> 00:09:57,696
And then it's down to you because I
haven't got the weight to pull you, OK?
170
00:09:57,781 --> 00:10:00,116
Here we go, three, two, one.
171
00:10:02,641 --> 00:10:04,996
- Whoa!
- Exciting.
172
00:10:06,641 --> 00:10:08,796
Yes, go on!
173
00:10:08,881 --> 00:10:12,116
- A Fiat Panda!
- Yesssss! - Yes!
174
00:10:12,201 --> 00:10:15,216
Jeremy Corbyn just pulled
Freddy Mercury out.
175
00:10:15,301 --> 00:10:17,656
It's a meeting of minds.
176
00:10:21,201 --> 00:10:23,556
I'm not sure we're
very good at fist-bumping.
177
00:10:26,641 --> 00:10:28,816
With that calamity sorted,
178
00:10:28,901 --> 00:10:33,356
Hammond got four-wheel drive
back and we resumed our mission.
179
00:10:34,641 --> 00:10:36,876
Right.
180
00:10:36,961 --> 00:10:39,756
Go on a bear hunt.
181
00:10:39,841 --> 00:10:41,536
Soon, however...
182
00:10:46,241 --> 00:10:48,316
Oh, dear.
183
00:10:50,521 --> 00:10:53,116
What's up, Hammond?
184
00:10:53,201 --> 00:10:57,676
I think something's broken
somewhere in the drive line.
185
00:10:57,761 --> 00:11:00,616
Am I now having to pull
Hammond... Oh, God.
186
00:11:00,701 --> 00:11:03,996
Right, and pull Hammond out.
187
00:11:04,081 --> 00:11:08,696
Once my pickup
had been pulled out...
188
00:11:08,781 --> 00:11:11,516
I quickly found the fault.
189
00:11:11,601 --> 00:11:13,456
Broken the half shaft.
190
00:11:13,541 --> 00:11:15,636
Ohhh!
191
00:11:15,721 --> 00:11:18,236
I think this is now
a two-wheel drive.
192
00:11:20,361 --> 00:11:23,376
Still, while there
had been a few mishaps,
193
00:11:23,461 --> 00:11:29,036
our cars were able to take us comfortably
to a suitable bear-spotting point.
194
00:11:35,161 --> 00:11:39,036
I've got a cool-box in the back of the
Jeep full of zesty, refreshing drinks.
195
00:11:40,201 --> 00:11:42,556
The temperature's perfect.
196
00:11:42,641 --> 00:11:45,196
I'm not out of breath.
I didn't have to walk here.
197
00:11:46,201 --> 00:11:48,216
However, because
the trap cameras
198
00:11:48,301 --> 00:11:50,176
had been ruined
by the jaguar,
199
00:11:50,261 --> 00:11:54,356
this time we would need to
deploy our immense patience.
200
00:12:02,281 --> 00:12:04,456
Soon, however...
201
00:12:04,541 --> 00:12:06,196
I'm bored!
202
00:12:06,281 --> 00:12:08,456
- I'm bored!
- Bored.
203
00:12:08,541 --> 00:12:11,676
Booooooored!
204
00:12:14,521 --> 00:12:18,796
So, to make life more
interesting, we kept on driving.
205
00:12:22,761 --> 00:12:25,436
Right, we go higher up
the mountain.
206
00:12:34,361 --> 00:12:40,556
This is the absolute worst terrain
for the Jeep's suspension.
207
00:12:40,641 --> 00:12:44,456
God, I'd like to meet the man who
put these big tyres on this thing.
208
00:12:44,541 --> 00:12:47,136
And I'd like to strangle him.
209
00:12:47,221 --> 00:12:49,996
Still, could be worse.
210
00:12:50,081 --> 00:12:51,716
Hole.
211
00:12:53,601 --> 00:12:56,276
Oh, dear.
212
00:12:56,361 --> 00:12:58,576
Looks like Jeremy Corbyn's
struggling a bit there.
213
00:13:02,761 --> 00:13:06,196
No, somehow he's managed to
get it back on its wheels.
214
00:13:13,281 --> 00:13:15,996
And still it goes!
215
00:13:17,361 --> 00:13:19,216
But then...
216
00:13:19,301 --> 00:13:21,516
Oh, God.
217
00:13:21,601 --> 00:13:23,956
Oh, hold on.
218
00:13:24,601 --> 00:13:26,956
Big hole there, chaps.
219
00:13:29,161 --> 00:13:30,856
- Yeah, you see that...
- Oh-ho-ho.
220
00:13:32,641 --> 00:13:34,416
That's not...
What are you on about?
221
00:13:34,501 --> 00:13:36,176
- It's massive!
- That's quite a big hole.
222
00:13:36,261 --> 00:13:39,156
- It just isn't, though, is it?
- Other than that it is.
223
00:13:39,241 --> 00:13:41,456
- Look at the size of it.
- Although... look.
224
00:13:41,541 --> 00:13:44,536
- No, that's...
- No, stop and listen to the expert.
225
00:13:44,621 --> 00:13:46,956
Cut it this way.
226
00:13:47,041 --> 00:13:51,376
Gravity gets you down there and then
you simply drive up the other side.
227
00:13:51,461 --> 00:13:54,636
Oh, Professor, how do you
work these things out?
228
00:13:54,721 --> 00:13:56,396
- You drive out.
- Look at your tyres.
229
00:13:56,481 --> 00:13:59,256
- Yeah, Hammond, that's a monster truck.
- Only two are driven.
230
00:13:59,341 --> 00:14:01,256
- It's a monster truck!
- It runs over cars.
231
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:02,956
I've seen them do it
on the telly.
232
00:14:03,041 --> 00:14:05,136
- And they're two-wheel drive.
- They are, actually. Yes.
233
00:14:05,221 --> 00:14:09,896
They are two-wheel drive and they...
Monster trucks could easily do that.
234
00:14:09,981 --> 00:14:14,776
With Hammond refusing point blank to
help, James and I did manual labour,
235
00:14:14,861 --> 00:14:18,076
and cut away the edge
of the bank.
236
00:14:18,161 --> 00:14:20,276
Keep going, chaps, you'll
fill the hole in eventually.
237
00:14:20,361 --> 00:14:22,976
What about that then, Hammond? That's
softened it up a bit. Fancy that?
238
00:14:23,061 --> 00:14:25,976
It's easy now.
I'll do it in a Lamborghini.
239
00:14:26,061 --> 00:14:28,556
That's got rid of
that big stony bit.
240
00:14:28,641 --> 00:14:30,856
That's roughly where
your wheel's gonna go.
241
00:14:30,941 --> 00:14:32,896
Yeah, just before
the massive drop.
242
00:14:32,981 --> 00:14:36,236
Ever since your last accident,
you've lost your bottle.
243
00:14:36,321 --> 00:14:38,296
No, it doesn't require
bottle to do that.
244
00:14:38,381 --> 00:14:41,276
It can't be done.
It's not the same.
245
00:14:41,361 --> 00:14:42,876
Well, you're gonna do it.
246
00:14:42,961 --> 00:14:44,336
- No, I'm not.
- You are.
247
00:14:44,421 --> 00:14:46,516
No, I'm not.
248
00:14:46,601 --> 00:14:48,956
Right, here we go.
249
00:14:50,601 --> 00:14:51,896
Gravity will
get you in a minute.
250
00:14:51,981 --> 00:14:54,796
Yes, I know gravity works.
I'm familiar with it.
251
00:14:54,881 --> 00:14:56,976
Just do it and then drive up
the other side.
252
00:14:57,061 --> 00:14:59,396
Hurry up, quicker.
253
00:15:01,321 --> 00:15:02,916
Oh, God!
254
00:15:03,001 --> 00:15:05,536
- There you go.
- Exactly as I said.
255
00:15:05,621 --> 00:15:07,896
Now drive up the other side.
256
00:15:07,981 --> 00:15:09,961
Hold on.
257
00:15:49,081 --> 00:15:51,896
I told you
this wouldn't work.
258
00:15:54,441 --> 00:15:56,368
- I've had an idea.
- What?
259
00:15:56,454 --> 00:15:58,314
You know that sort of roll
bar thing
260
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,442
- he's got there.
- Yeah.
261
00:15:59,548 --> 00:16:01,432
If we get the sand ladders
from the support truck
262
00:16:01,517 --> 00:16:04,596
and lay them on that,
we could drive across him.
263
00:16:06,601 --> 00:16:10,316
- Couldn't we?
- Isambard Kingdom May.
264
00:16:10,401 --> 00:16:12,756
Hammond, we've had
a brilliant idea.
265
00:16:14,441 --> 00:16:16,616
I don't know
what they're gonna do.
266
00:16:16,701 --> 00:16:19,036
I just know
it's not gonna work.
267
00:16:23,481 --> 00:16:26,996
This weighs a tonne.
268
00:16:29,881 --> 00:16:32,796
Oh, mind my roof!
269
00:16:35,001 --> 00:16:37,236
It won't reach.
270
00:16:37,321 --> 00:16:39,896
Oh... No... Don't...
Come on...
271
00:16:39,981 --> 00:16:41,961
Ohh...
272
00:16:49,721 --> 00:16:52,376
Eventually
our magnificent bridge
273
00:16:52,461 --> 00:16:54,436
was complete.
274
00:16:59,281 --> 00:17:02,436
And James volunteered
to cross it first.
275
00:17:02,521 --> 00:17:05,256
Come on, Hammond,
you must be pleased.
276
00:17:05,341 --> 00:17:07,316
No, I'm not pleased!
277
00:17:07,401 --> 00:17:09,016
First heroic thing it's done.
278
00:17:09,101 --> 00:17:10,956
First time
it's not holding us up.
279
00:17:11,041 --> 00:17:13,176
Is that looking good?
280
00:17:13,261 --> 00:17:15,616
- Looking good.
- No, it's looking ridiculous.
281
00:17:28,281 --> 00:17:29,496
- It worked.
- Yes!
282
00:17:29,581 --> 00:17:31,836
- How about that?
- Yes!
283
00:17:31,921 --> 00:17:33,496
- Piece of cake.
- Oh, no fist bumping.
284
00:17:33,581 --> 00:17:35,816
- Oh, no, we don't do that, do we, yeah.
- That hurt.
285
00:17:35,901 --> 00:17:38,016
Now, though, it was my turn,
286
00:17:38,101 --> 00:17:42,316
in a car that was more than
twice the weight of the Panda.
287
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:48,456
Hold on, I can't even see
the sand ra...
288
00:17:48,541 --> 00:17:51,356
I can't see the rail
on this side.
289
00:17:51,441 --> 00:17:56,016
Tiny, tiny bit your left.
That's it. Right, straight.
290
00:17:56,101 --> 00:17:59,576
Tiny, tiny bit to your left,
but really tiny.
291
00:17:59,661 --> 00:18:01,996
That's good.
292
00:18:05,761 --> 00:18:08,356
Right on the edge.
293
00:18:08,441 --> 00:18:09,736
Now very slowly.
294
00:18:09,821 --> 00:18:11,716
Tiny bit of left.
295
00:18:11,801 --> 00:18:14,016
- That's right, you blithering idiot.
- Right.
296
00:18:14,101 --> 00:18:16,196
Now that is... Oh.
297
00:18:16,281 --> 00:18:17,616
Stop. Stop, stop, stop.
298
00:18:17,701 --> 00:18:19,836
Stop there, stop there.
299
00:18:19,921 --> 00:18:21,316
It's gonna break.
300
00:18:21,401 --> 00:18:22,796
It's not gonna work.
301
00:18:22,881 --> 00:18:24,616
- What?
- It's not gonna work. -
302
00:18:24,701 --> 00:18:26,456
Yes, but the thing is
you've stopped me
303
00:18:26,541 --> 00:18:28,416
and there's no other way
of describing it,
304
00:18:28,501 --> 00:18:30,736
- on top of... -
- top of Hammond's car.
305
00:18:30,821 --> 00:18:32,636
Yeah, I know.
Don't jig about too much.
306
00:18:32,721 --> 00:18:34,336
Don't worry about
my truck sitting there.
307
00:18:34,421 --> 00:18:37,556
We're not worried
about your truck!
308
00:18:37,641 --> 00:18:41,616
Since Hammond wouldn't lift a finger,
even though he'd got us into this mess,
309
00:18:41,701 --> 00:18:45,756
I had to get the camera crew to
help beef up the sand rails.
310
00:18:47,801 --> 00:18:51,136
We're supposed to be making wildlife
photography look easy and comfortable.
311
00:18:51,221 --> 00:18:54,476
This isn't working.
312
00:18:54,561 --> 00:18:57,916
With the strengthening in
place, it was time to continue.
313
00:19:02,561 --> 00:19:04,616
Keep it on that.
314
00:19:04,701 --> 00:19:07,036
Exactly that line.
315
00:19:11,561 --> 00:19:13,316
Yes!
316
00:19:13,401 --> 00:19:14,476
Yeah.
317
00:19:14,561 --> 00:19:17,316
- Right, let's move on.
- Right.
318
00:19:21,561 --> 00:19:23,916
Well, they're across.
319
00:19:32,161 --> 00:19:34,836
- Oh, God.
- Why have you stopped?
320
00:19:34,921 --> 00:19:37,136
You're not gonna
believe this.
321
00:19:37,221 --> 00:19:38,676
What?
322
00:19:38,761 --> 00:19:41,116
There's a river.
323
00:19:42,241 --> 00:19:43,736
Can we go through it?
324
00:19:43,821 --> 00:19:46,156
Not in a million years.
325
00:19:57,921 --> 00:19:59,196
What are you doing?
326
00:19:59,281 --> 00:20:01,456
It's... Just round that
corner there's a river.
327
00:20:01,541 --> 00:20:02,636
- Yeah.
- Blocked.
328
00:20:02,721 --> 00:20:03,956
But you've been gone...
329
00:20:04,041 --> 00:20:05,596
So what was
the point in that?
330
00:20:05,681 --> 00:20:07,476
Well, at least it meant
your car was useful twice.
331
00:20:07,561 --> 00:20:09,016
- It was.
- Well, you ended up where you...
332
00:20:09,101 --> 00:20:10,716
We've achieved nothing,
333
00:20:10,801 --> 00:20:12,496
apart from ruining my truck
and turning it into a bridge.
334
00:20:12,581 --> 00:20:14,696
Yeah, but we needed to do
that to get back again.
335
00:20:14,781 --> 00:20:17,236
- Exactly.
- But if you hadn't gone...
336
00:20:17,321 --> 00:20:20,436
If you hadn't gone there, you wouldn't
need a bridge to get back, would you?
337
00:20:20,521 --> 00:20:22,976
We didn't know there was a
river there until we'd gone there.
338
00:20:23,061 --> 00:20:24,826
- And there are no bears.
- As this debate
339
00:20:24,912 --> 00:20:26,896
was getting us nowhere,
340
00:20:26,981 --> 00:20:31,116
we pulled an ungrateful
Hammond out of his hole,
341
00:20:31,201 --> 00:20:34,236
and found another route
up the mountain.
342
00:20:38,761 --> 00:20:41,896
I'm actually looking forward
to seeing a bear, I really am.
343
00:20:41,981 --> 00:20:45,716
I like all bears, except
polar bears, which I hate.
344
00:20:45,801 --> 00:20:48,516
They're vicious and
they eat schoolchildren.
345
00:20:49,681 --> 00:20:52,976
Joyously, we soon found
another suitable spot,
346
00:20:53,061 --> 00:20:56,156
where I discovered
I had a small problem.
347
00:20:57,481 --> 00:21:00,300
I'm still not high enough up
to see over the shrubs.
348
00:21:00,386 --> 00:21:02,386
Well, nothing we can do
about it now.
349
00:21:02,472 --> 00:21:04,136
- What?
- Shut up, nothing you can do about it.
350
00:21:04,221 --> 00:21:06,416
- I wish I was a bit higher.
- That's how high you are.
351
00:21:08,401 --> 00:21:10,756
We settled down
to wait.
352
00:21:11,441 --> 00:21:13,476
But shortly...
353
00:21:13,561 --> 00:21:15,916
And inevitably...
354
00:21:17,241 --> 00:21:19,596
- Bored.
- Me too.
355
00:21:21,761 --> 00:21:23,576
It does get boring, this.
356
00:21:23,661 --> 00:21:25,016
It's 20 minutes.
357
00:21:28,001 --> 00:21:30,376
- What was... what was that?
- That's bear noise.
358
00:21:30,461 --> 00:21:32,556
Ssh.
359
00:21:32,641 --> 00:21:34,856
- I'm not bored now.
- That is a bear.
360
00:21:37,321 --> 00:21:39,336
- It's a bear, it's a bear!
- I can't see it.
361
00:21:39,421 --> 00:21:41,676
- It's fantastic.
- It's a bear.
362
00:21:44,161 --> 00:21:46,076
- Yes, it is, it moved.
- Ssh.
363
00:21:46,161 --> 00:21:48,156
- I can see its face.
- Oh, yes.
364
00:21:52,801 --> 00:21:54,876
- I took a picture of a bear!
- Ssh.
365
00:22:00,041 --> 00:22:01,776
Why won't it come over here?
366
00:22:01,861 --> 00:22:03,996
Probably because
you're talking.
367
00:22:04,081 --> 00:22:05,656
I think we're a bit
too conspicuous.
368
00:22:05,741 --> 00:22:07,816
- We're scaring them off.
- You are.
369
00:22:07,901 --> 00:22:12,336
Your car and his car,
they're too... bright.
370
00:22:12,421 --> 00:22:14,756
I know.
371
00:22:18,041 --> 00:22:22,636
Hammond and May agreed that my
car was the quietest and most subtle.
372
00:22:24,241 --> 00:22:26,856
So they suggested
I should creep towards
373
00:22:26,941 --> 00:22:31,036
the largest flesh-eating mammal
in all of South America.
374
00:22:35,801 --> 00:22:39,796
He is coming close range. Weapon
too close for my big gun.
375
00:22:40,561 --> 00:22:42,656
He is coming!
376
00:22:42,741 --> 00:22:45,076
He is coming.
377
00:22:55,801 --> 00:22:58,916
And then, to top it all...
378
00:22:59,001 --> 00:23:00,456
Bears are shitting
in the woods.
379
00:23:00,541 --> 00:23:02,876
The bear is shitting
in the woods.
380
00:23:04,081 --> 00:23:07,296
I have now seen everything.
381
00:23:07,381 --> 00:23:10,416
Edgar Hussain is done.
382
00:23:13,641 --> 00:23:15,996
King of spades, tick.
383
00:23:19,401 --> 00:23:23,396
Smog
384
00:23:23,481 --> 00:23:27,476
We therefore got back on
the road and continued onwards.
385
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:47,956
Finally arriving late that night
in the capital city of Bogota.
386
00:23:57,081 --> 00:23:59,436
♪ Smog! ♪
387
00:24:04,561 --> 00:24:09,956
Having had a decent night's sleep,
we convened to plan our next move.
388
00:24:10,881 --> 00:24:12,196
- Morning.
- Hello.
389
00:24:12,281 --> 00:24:14,016
What's the matter
with your face?
390
00:24:14,101 --> 00:24:15,636
- Is it not good?
- No.
391
00:24:15,721 --> 00:24:17,496
It's like being in
The Singing Detective.
392
00:24:17,581 --> 00:24:19,156
It is.
393
00:24:19,241 --> 00:24:20,816
That's bloody rude. Anyway, listen...
394
00:24:20,901 --> 00:24:22,516
Sorry, I'm briefly
mesmerised.
395
00:24:22,601 --> 00:24:23,676
- Listen.
- I'm back.
396
00:24:23,761 --> 00:24:24,936
While you were out
this morning
397
00:24:25,021 --> 00:24:26,416
buying new action
trousers, I see,
398
00:24:26,501 --> 00:24:29,116
I have got a book...
399
00:24:29,201 --> 00:24:32,016
All of Colombia's wildlife
is in this book, yeah?
400
00:24:32,101 --> 00:24:33,556
All of it.
401
00:24:33,641 --> 00:24:35,636
I've been through it.
402
00:24:35,721 --> 00:24:38,556
- Guess what there isn't?
- A hippopotamus.
403
00:24:38,641 --> 00:24:41,216
Well, so far we've
got pigeon, dog, horse...
404
00:24:41,301 --> 00:24:43,196
Donkey.
405
00:24:43,281 --> 00:24:44,736
Don't bring those up, please.
406
00:24:44,821 --> 00:24:46,516
- Um, jaguar.
- Jaguar.
407
00:24:46,601 --> 00:24:48,249
- Bear.
- Bear. - Yes.
408
00:24:48,335 --> 00:24:51,436
Condor is next.
Condor is next.
409
00:24:51,521 --> 00:24:54,316
Is there a case...
I think there is.
410
00:24:54,401 --> 00:24:56,316
For a little light
car modification?
411
00:24:56,401 --> 00:24:57,976
I agree, there is, there is.
412
00:24:58,061 --> 00:24:59,956
I think I might be
scaring them off a bit.
413
00:25:00,041 --> 00:25:02,016
- I could make some changes.
- I'm just thinking...
414
00:25:02,101 --> 00:25:03,616
Tell you what
I could give my car...
415
00:25:03,701 --> 00:25:06,516
- A roof.
- Yeah, that's a good idea.
416
00:25:06,601 --> 00:25:08,416
There is evidence to suggest
in your flaking visage...
417
00:25:08,501 --> 00:25:11,576
Then you wouldn't look like
Michael Gambon in the '80s.
418
00:25:11,661 --> 00:25:13,836
I am Michael Gambon
in the '80s.
419
00:25:13,921 --> 00:25:16,276
Llegaron Los Peluqueros
420
00:25:18,561 --> 00:25:22,576
We then went shopping in
Bogota's massive auto district.
421
00:25:22,661 --> 00:25:27,756
20 city blocks of nothing
but shops selling car parts.
422
00:25:33,721 --> 00:25:37,536
All I really need, if I'm
honest, to make my car better,
423
00:25:37,621 --> 00:25:39,756
is some kind of ladder,
424
00:25:39,841 --> 00:25:43,696
so I get some elevation
for the photography,
425
00:25:43,781 --> 00:25:47,116
and a chair to sit on,
and a roof.
426
00:25:48,801 --> 00:25:50,736
Oh, gold dust.
427
00:25:50,821 --> 00:25:52,456
Look at that.
428
00:25:52,541 --> 00:25:54,536
That is perfect.
429
00:25:54,621 --> 00:25:59,336
So, um, can I have 20 metres?
430
00:25:59,421 --> 00:26:01,756
Vingt me...?
431
00:26:03,241 --> 00:26:05,216
That's not a good sign,
is it?
432
00:26:09,041 --> 00:26:14,396
As we went about our shopping, I
received a rather intriguing phone call.
433
00:26:15,841 --> 00:26:17,816
This afternoon?
434
00:26:17,901 --> 00:26:19,956
Sure. OK.
435
00:26:20,041 --> 00:26:21,436
All right, bye.
436
00:26:21,521 --> 00:26:23,156
Er, that was
our Colombian fixers.
437
00:26:23,241 --> 00:26:25,856
They say, um, this afternoon
they want us to try something
438
00:26:25,941 --> 00:26:30,836
which is, they say... the thing
that Colombia is most famous for.
439
00:26:34,161 --> 00:26:35,996
Yep.
440
00:26:36,081 --> 00:26:37,876
Football.
441
00:26:37,961 --> 00:26:42,816
Specifically a match between
The Grand Tour team...
442
00:26:42,901 --> 00:26:45,316
and our Colombian fixers.
443
00:26:45,401 --> 00:26:50,296
Hammond, with his gammy knee, couldn't
play, so made himself our manager.
444
00:26:50,381 --> 00:26:56,156
So, we're gonna play
a five-four-four?
445
00:26:56,241 --> 00:26:57,876
- I doubt it.
- Five-four-three?
446
00:26:57,961 --> 00:26:59,316
- Eight, nine?
- Five... Two?
447
00:26:59,401 --> 00:27:01,216
- How many on our team?
- It's eight a side.
448
00:27:01,301 --> 00:27:02,896
Three. Right, well,
we're gonna play...
449
00:27:02,981 --> 00:27:07,376
- Drop the five, then.
- Three... four.
450
00:27:07,461 --> 00:27:09,436
Three.
451
00:27:09,521 --> 00:27:11,176
With the crowd
of onlookers
452
00:27:11,261 --> 00:27:15,336
at fever pitch,
the game began.
453
00:27:17,961 --> 00:27:23,856
And since I was our biggest player,
from any angle, I was put in goal.
454
00:27:23,941 --> 00:27:26,276
Which went well.
455
00:27:35,001 --> 00:27:38,056
Also,
the ref was pretty harsh.
456
00:27:38,141 --> 00:27:40,276
What?
457
00:27:40,361 --> 00:27:41,816
How can it be handball?
458
00:27:41,901 --> 00:27:44,716
He hasn't got a hand!
459
00:27:44,801 --> 00:27:46,416
The match continued
460
00:27:46,501 --> 00:27:49,436
with some good clean tackles
from us.
461
00:27:52,841 --> 00:27:55,636
And eventually
an actual goal.
462
00:27:58,781 --> 00:28:02,976
But my goalkeeping continued
to let the side down.
463
00:28:03,061 --> 00:28:05,396
Oh, come on!
464
00:28:08,761 --> 00:28:11,336
And even though
I'd given my all...
465
00:28:11,421 --> 00:28:14,276
I've just coughed
my lungs up.
466
00:28:14,361 --> 00:28:18,616
I was eventually substituted for
our special forces security guy,
467
00:28:18,701 --> 00:28:23,376
who did well,
despite his pixelated face.
468
00:28:27,161 --> 00:28:29,637
We may as well modify our cars now.
We're not playing.
469
00:28:29,723 --> 00:28:30,776
Yeah.
470
00:28:30,861 --> 00:28:33,836
The only problem is,
nobody'll be able to film us.
471
00:28:33,921 --> 00:28:36,656
Cos they're playing football.
And they are not stopping.
472
00:28:36,741 --> 00:28:38,816
Why don't we just quietly
leave them to it?
473
00:28:38,901 --> 00:28:40,801
We'll get on with it.
474
00:28:40,949 --> 00:28:43,299
It's not as if
anyone's gonna miss us.
475
00:28:47,041 --> 00:28:49,396
Go on, Nick!
476
00:28:56,321 --> 00:28:58,096
The next morning, happily,
477
00:28:58,181 --> 00:29:02,316
the uninjured members of our
film crew were back at work.
478
00:29:03,321 --> 00:29:06,696
- Was it really six-two?
- Yeah.
479
00:29:06,781 --> 00:29:08,636
- It was.
- Yeah.
480
00:29:08,721 --> 00:29:11,296
I think the problem was they
substituted me and you too early.
481
00:29:11,381 --> 00:29:13,516
- I think so.
- Anyway, listen...
482
00:29:13,601 --> 00:29:15,436
We've now got
the film crews back,
483
00:29:15,521 --> 00:29:17,776
so let's set them to work
doing what they can do,
484
00:29:17,861 --> 00:29:19,636
and have a look at our cars.
485
00:29:19,721 --> 00:29:21,836
- OK, you have to find mine.
- Where is it?
486
00:29:21,921 --> 00:29:24,336
Yours is the one disguised as a
bush in an industrial car park.
487
00:29:24,421 --> 00:29:26,796
- I've camouflaged it.
- Well, yes, you've painted it.
488
00:29:26,881 --> 00:29:30,056
It's got roll-down netting that goes over
the windows when I'm using it as a hide
489
00:29:30,141 --> 00:29:33,096
and it has an inbuilt... Well,
it's got a raise on it as well,
490
00:29:33,181 --> 00:29:35,776
cos the one problem
I've had is ground clearance.
491
00:29:35,861 --> 00:29:37,236
- Yeah.
- What?
492
00:29:37,321 --> 00:29:39,136
You've spent two days
laughing at Hammond and me
493
00:29:39,221 --> 00:29:41,076
cos we've got cars
that have been raised,
494
00:29:41,161 --> 00:29:43,896
and how awful they are, and then
you've done exactly the same.
495
00:29:43,981 --> 00:29:47,616
As an alternative expression, rather
than "I'm going to raise my car,"
496
00:29:47,701 --> 00:29:50,556
- why not, "I'm going to ruin my car"?
- Yes.
497
00:29:50,641 --> 00:29:52,136
- What you've done is ruined it.
- Let's see.
498
00:29:52,221 --> 00:29:53,836
I've done it very subtly.
499
00:29:53,921 --> 00:29:56,736
How do you think Tony Blair and
Gordon Sting are going to feel
500
00:29:56,821 --> 00:30:00,456
when they see that you've turned
their Panda into a monster Panda?
501
00:30:00,541 --> 00:30:03,356
Very happy, actually.
That's communist camouflage.
502
00:30:03,441 --> 00:30:05,656
I got it from a picture
of a Russian tank.
503
00:30:05,741 --> 00:30:08,196
This is my idea.
PA system. I always do this.
504
00:30:08,281 --> 00:30:09,736
- It's not a PA system.
- Well, it is.
505
00:30:09,821 --> 00:30:12,916
It's a bird call
and animal call system.
506
00:30:13,001 --> 00:30:15,196
I have an iPad, other tablets
are available, in the car
507
00:30:15,281 --> 00:30:17,136
in which I can select a
number of animal noises
508
00:30:17,221 --> 00:30:19,556
and they play out of those speakers.
It's a lure.
509
00:30:19,641 --> 00:30:21,976
Well, can we move on to Hammond,
who's obviously gone...
510
00:30:22,061 --> 00:30:23,956
- If you can find it.
- Completely mad.
511
00:30:24,041 --> 00:30:26,376
I too
have gone the camouflage route
512
00:30:26,461 --> 00:30:28,756
because it's green,
as you can see.
513
00:30:28,841 --> 00:30:30,556
I've mended the half shaft
up here.
514
00:30:30,641 --> 00:30:32,336
That's the only mechanical
work I've had to do
515
00:30:32,421 --> 00:30:34,656
because other than that
it's been perfect.
516
00:30:34,741 --> 00:30:38,076
Yes, this structure here
is a hide.
517
00:30:38,161 --> 00:30:41,876
I know it is. It's a hide
on a monster truck.
518
00:30:41,961 --> 00:30:45,476
It's people that they're scared
of and they won't see any people.
519
00:30:45,561 --> 00:30:47,916
Those all drop down and in there
I've got everything I need
520
00:30:48,001 --> 00:30:50,536
because often you're sitting and
waiting a long time to take pictures.
521
00:30:50,621 --> 00:30:53,536
We've learnt that. I can
cook, eat, entertain myself
522
00:30:53,621 --> 00:30:57,416
whilst waiting to capture an
award-winning photograph of an animal.
523
00:30:57,501 --> 00:31:00,116
And this rotates
through 360 degrees.
524
00:31:00,201 --> 00:31:02,016
- I see.
- And you, because it's you,
525
00:31:02,101 --> 00:31:05,056
you put two cameras in there
to film yourself.
526
00:31:05,141 --> 00:31:07,516
Yes, that's the most
important thing.
527
00:31:07,601 --> 00:31:11,156
I love the idea that you two, I'm
afraid there's no other word, morons,
528
00:31:11,241 --> 00:31:13,776
have decided that somehow
you can camouflage your car
529
00:31:13,861 --> 00:31:15,996
so they won't be seen
by animals.
530
00:31:16,081 --> 00:31:20,756
I have already proved that mine can drive
right up to a bear, he's interested.
531
00:31:20,841 --> 00:31:22,876
Speaking of yours,
what have you done?
532
00:31:24,041 --> 00:31:26,436
Whoa, what's all that
on the back?
533
00:31:26,521 --> 00:31:28,396
That, gentlemen,
is a scissor lift.
534
00:31:28,481 --> 00:31:30,056
- What?
- It's a scissor lift.
535
00:31:30,141 --> 00:31:33,316
Simply get in that and rise
up, so then I have a...
536
00:31:33,401 --> 00:31:36,096
Oh, so you're going to be
a window cleaner. -
537
00:31:36,181 --> 00:31:40,796
The only thing this didn't really have
was proper elevation. Now I have it.
538
00:31:40,881 --> 00:31:43,416
How high does it go? -38 feet.
539
00:31:43,501 --> 00:31:45,436
- Really?
- Yes. -It'll just fall over.
540
00:31:45,521 --> 00:31:47,416
A-ha, that's why I fitted it
with outriggers.
541
00:31:47,501 --> 00:31:48,936
They're not far enough apart.
542
00:31:49,021 --> 00:31:50,596
- Or big enough.
- They slide...
543
00:31:50,681 --> 00:31:51,976
How much does it weigh, that?
544
00:31:52,061 --> 00:31:54,656
I've added half a tonne.
545
00:31:54,741 --> 00:31:57,136
And there's something else
I've done.
546
00:31:57,221 --> 00:31:59,956
Oxygen is fitted
for my engine.
547
00:32:00,041 --> 00:32:02,256
- Why do you need oxygen?
- Because we're going very high.
548
00:32:02,341 --> 00:32:04,456
- Well, 38 feet.
- No, 15,000 feet.
549
00:32:04,541 --> 00:32:06,856
More, actually.
Nearly 16,000 feet.
550
00:32:06,941 --> 00:32:08,476
- Really?
- Why?
551
00:32:08,561 --> 00:32:10,516
Condors. They're in the sky.
552
00:32:10,601 --> 00:32:11,936
Yes, but they fly
above the ground.
553
00:32:12,021 --> 00:32:14,676
Yes, I know, but in order to catch
up to them, we must go high.
554
00:32:14,761 --> 00:32:17,656
You can't catch up with them and just,
just photograph them in the face.
555
00:32:17,741 --> 00:32:20,896
I'm telling you, you want a
condor, we've gotta go high.
556
00:32:20,981 --> 00:32:22,676
Oh, my God.
557
00:32:22,761 --> 00:32:24,656
- What?
- I've seen it as well.
558
00:32:24,741 --> 00:32:25,996
What, my roof?
559
00:32:26,081 --> 00:32:28,136
That the only piece of fabric
you could find to make a roof?
560
00:32:28,221 --> 00:32:30,396
- What is that?
- It's wild life.
561
00:32:30,481 --> 00:32:32,336
That's for a nursery
or something, isn't it?
562
00:32:32,421 --> 00:32:33,556
- I mean...
- Mate!
563
00:32:33,641 --> 00:32:35,176
It'll keep the sun
and rain off my head.
564
00:32:35,261 --> 00:32:37,076
- The rain?
- Well, it'll keep the sun off.
565
00:32:37,161 --> 00:32:39,576
It's a really nice installation.
That is a quality job as well.
566
00:32:39,661 --> 00:32:41,456
You've really...
that is crap.
567
00:32:41,541 --> 00:32:43,836
So I've got oxygen
for the altitude
568
00:32:43,921 --> 00:32:45,716
- which we're going to.
- Yeah.
569
00:32:45,801 --> 00:32:48,176
- That'll stop my face disintegrating.
- It won't.
570
00:32:48,261 --> 00:32:52,476
- And that means I can photograph birds.
- It won't.
571
00:32:52,561 --> 00:32:56,976
As it was another 200-mile
drive to reach condor country,
572
00:32:57,061 --> 00:33:00,676
we decided to
get cracking immediately.
573
00:33:02,681 --> 00:33:04,296

Think of it as advertising.
581
00:33:24,541 --> 00:33:26,156
Advertising what?
582
00:33:26,241 --> 00:33:27,436
Well, yourself, mate.

You look like crap.
585
00:33:31,341 --> 00:33:33,076
How do I turn it off?
586
00:33:33,161 --> 00:33:34,896
The instructions
are all on the screen.
587
00:33:37,361 --> 00:33:39,936

a second look are looking.

00:34:06,481 --> 00:34:09,756
Yeah, sorry.
598
00:34:09,841 --> 00:34:11,696
Where are the speakers
in this bloody thing?
599
00:34:11,781 --> 00:34:13,696

00:34:22,501 --> 00:34:27,676

Ah, now the music's stopped,
608
00:34:38,661 --> 00:34:42,996
I have uncovered a small
problem with my modification.
609
00:34:43,081 --> 00:34:46,496
- What's that?
- Quite a lot of rattling.
610
00:34:53,161 --> 00:34:56,416
I don't wanna speak too soon, but I
think my big wheels are working.
611
00:34:56,501 --> 00:35:00,216
The car is going along, they're
not rubbing on anything.
612
00:35:00,301 --> 00:35:02,276
The ride's still reasonable.
613
00:35:02,361 --> 00:35:04,716
Llegaron Los Peluqueros
614
00:35:07,201 --> 00:35:12,956
As we left Bogota, and picked up
speed, my mods became even more annoying.
615
00:35:14,641 --> 00:35:16,956
Sit-rep, and it's not good.
616
00:35:17,041 --> 00:35:21,096
I mean, yes, I can't hear the rattling
from the scissor lift any more,
617
00:35:21,181 --> 00:35:24,776
but only because the roof
is flapping like a bastard.
618
00:35:24,861 --> 00:35:28,556
And, steering's
worryingly light,
619
00:35:28,641 --> 00:35:30,336
cos all the weight's
at the back.
620
00:35:30,421 --> 00:35:34,436
Also, the rear tyres now
never catch on the arches.
621
00:35:34,521 --> 00:35:36,536
Apart from then.
622
00:35:36,621 --> 00:35:38,816
And then.
623
00:35:41,321 --> 00:35:44,516
And in the Panda, things
weren't that great either.
624
00:35:47,121 --> 00:35:49,576
I'm starting to hear some
alarming noises from my car,
625
00:35:49,661 --> 00:35:52,776
so I thought I'd share them with you.
626
00:35:52,861 --> 00:35:56,236
There's one of them.
627
00:35:56,321 --> 00:35:58,356
It's almost as if the wheels
have moved on the hubs
628
00:35:58,441 --> 00:36:00,496
and are starting to touch little
bits of the arches. -
629
00:36:00,581 --> 00:36:03,116
Can you hear that?
630
00:36:03,201 --> 00:36:08,216
To try and stop the roof flapping, I've
put my monopod here, to keep it all taut.
631
00:36:08,301 --> 00:36:11,236
And that hasn't worked.
632
00:36:11,321 --> 00:36:12,976
Rattling, tyre noise.
633
00:36:13,061 --> 00:36:14,696
Flapping.
634
00:36:14,781 --> 00:36:16,376
Yeah. Yeah.
635
00:36:16,461 --> 00:36:18,556
Bad.
636
00:36:18,641 --> 00:36:20,996
Still, could be worse.
637
00:36:23,321 --> 00:36:25,476
Oh, cock.
638
00:36:25,561 --> 00:36:26,796
Right, this is quite bad.
639
00:36:26,881 --> 00:36:28,616
What's happened
on all those windy bits,
640
00:36:28,701 --> 00:36:30,576
as the car leans to one side
and the other,
641
00:36:30,661 --> 00:36:33,996
is that the bigger tyre has
rubbed against the filler pipe,
642
00:36:34,081 --> 00:36:35,916
from the cap here
down to the tank,
643
00:36:36,001 --> 00:36:39,116
and it's made a little hole in
it and the fuel is gushing out,
644
00:36:39,201 --> 00:36:41,776
which is why I was getting a bit
stoned as I was driving along.
645
00:36:41,861 --> 00:36:44,896
I thought it was just altitude,
but it was actually petrol fumes.
646
00:36:44,981 --> 00:36:49,436
So what I'm gonna do is, er, drain
the tank down by about half,
647
00:36:49,521 --> 00:36:51,536
so the level is below
that bit of the pipe.
648
00:36:51,621 --> 00:36:55,356
I will patch up that hole,
put the fuel back in
649
00:36:55,441 --> 00:36:57,956
and then I'll put
the proper wheels back on.
650
00:37:01,521 --> 00:37:04,256
While May did...
what he just said,
651
00:37:04,341 --> 00:37:08,116
Hammond and I hoovered up
some animal pictures...
652
00:37:12,601 --> 00:37:14,996
Oh, yeah.
653
00:37:16,521 --> 00:37:18,356
I got it.
654
00:37:18,441 --> 00:37:23,796
In terrain that was becoming
absolutely spectacular.
655
00:37:34,521 --> 00:37:38,396
It's the variety of Colombia
that staggers me most of all.
656
00:37:38,481 --> 00:37:40,836
One minute you're in
what looks like Japan.
657
00:37:41,921 --> 00:37:44,276
Then it's
the Yorkshire Dales.
658
00:37:45,001 --> 00:37:47,396
Then it's Austria.
659
00:37:47,481 --> 00:37:49,956
Then it's California.
660
00:37:50,041 --> 00:37:54,256
It's like the greatest hits of
the world all in one place.
661
00:37:54,341 --> 00:37:57,236
I mean, Jesus,
look at that now.
662
00:38:09,641 --> 00:38:12,096
Eventually
we were all reunited,
663
00:38:12,181 --> 00:38:17,916
and, at my insistence, we began
the long climb to 16,000 feet,
664
00:38:18,001 --> 00:38:20,276
where I knew
the condors would be.
665
00:38:24,041 --> 00:38:25,936
I cannot wait to see a condor
666
00:38:26,021 --> 00:38:31,296
because they are one of the
most superb creations on Earth.
667
00:38:31,381 --> 00:38:34,756
They just are magnificent.
668
00:38:34,841 --> 00:38:39,936
They can stay at 18,000 feet all
day, maybe flap their arms once.
669
00:38:40,021 --> 00:38:41,681
Once.
670
00:38:41,801 --> 00:38:44,936
Right, gentlemen, we're
passing 10,000 feet now.
671
00:38:45,021 --> 00:38:48,316
Er, how's your
temperature gauges?
672
00:38:48,401 --> 00:38:50,756
Mine's getting hot,
really hot.
673
00:38:52,081 --> 00:38:55,076
Er, weirdly,
my car isn't overheating,
674
00:38:55,161 --> 00:38:57,076
but it is producing
some steam
675
00:38:57,161 --> 00:39:00,016
because I think maybe the cap
isn't perfectly sealed
676
00:39:00,101 --> 00:39:02,936
and the ambient pressure
is going down.
677
00:39:03,021 --> 00:39:04,036
Yeah.
678
00:39:04,121 --> 00:39:06,096
Why does he say
ambient pressure?
679
00:39:06,181 --> 00:39:08,436
Why not just pressure?
680
00:39:13,761 --> 00:39:15,456
Soon we entered the clouds,
681
00:39:15,541 --> 00:39:17,416
and pulled over
to photograph
682
00:39:17,501 --> 00:39:20,476
something else we thought
Amazon might like.
683
00:39:22,961 --> 00:39:25,316
The humming bird.
684
00:39:27,801 --> 00:39:30,776
Sadly, though, to attract these
wonderful little things,
685
00:39:30,861 --> 00:39:33,256
we had to take
drastic measures.
686
00:39:40,681 --> 00:39:43,036
You know when wildlife
photographers tell you
687
00:39:43,121 --> 00:39:44,776
- how they got the shots?
- Yeah.
688
00:39:44,861 --> 00:39:48,496
I bet they never ever say, "And
then we wore scarlet lipstick."
689
00:39:48,581 --> 00:39:51,876
No. I've never
seen it mentioned.
690
00:39:51,961 --> 00:39:55,496
They also wouldn't say that if you want
the birds to come up really close,
691
00:39:55,581 --> 00:39:59,036
you need to put a plastic
flower in your mouth.
692
00:40:10,801 --> 00:40:13,796
Oh, that one's lovely.
Look at that, look at that.
693
00:40:22,881 --> 00:40:26,016
They are absolutely
beautiful, aren't they?
694
00:40:26,101 --> 00:40:27,316
Shit!
695
00:40:27,401 --> 00:40:29,756
I've gotta get further away.
696
00:40:32,801 --> 00:40:35,156
You got it?
697
00:40:36,321 --> 00:40:38,196
Epic.
698
00:40:38,281 --> 00:40:41,436
I've gotta say, of all the
things we've ever done,
699
00:40:41,521 --> 00:40:43,076
that's kind of
up there, really.
700
00:40:43,161 --> 00:40:45,096
- Yeah, it's beautiful.
- I think that might be my favourite.
701
00:40:45,181 --> 00:40:47,936
And now we've done one of
the world's smallest birds,
702
00:40:48,021 --> 00:40:52,676
it's time to carry on going
up, and one of the biggest.
703
00:40:52,761 --> 00:40:54,776
- What?
- We've got to get the condor, haven't we?
704
00:40:54,861 --> 00:40:57,836
They weren't condors?
705
00:41:02,761 --> 00:41:08,236
We continued on Jeremy's
journey up into the heavens.
706
00:41:08,321 --> 00:41:12,856
Right, we're at something like 11 and a
half thousand feet. We're still climbing.
707
00:41:12,941 --> 00:41:15,556
Car is definitely
struggling now.
708
00:41:15,641 --> 00:41:20,556
The engine burns a mixture of
oxygen and petrol, mainly oxygen.
709
00:41:20,641 --> 00:41:23,576
The oxygen is going down, so
you can't burn as much petrol,
710
00:41:23,661 --> 00:41:25,836
so the engine develops
less power.
711
00:41:27,441 --> 00:41:30,216
I'll have to go for second.
712
00:41:30,301 --> 00:41:32,636
Climb, Pepe!
713
00:41:33,481 --> 00:41:35,776
Keeping an eye
on temperature.
714
00:41:35,861 --> 00:41:38,036
It is working extra hard.
715
00:41:38,121 --> 00:41:39,896
It might just pass
a critical level
716
00:41:39,981 --> 00:41:42,416
at which this car can't
suck in enough oxygen
717
00:41:42,501 --> 00:41:45,096
to mix with fuel to burn.
718
00:41:45,181 --> 00:41:48,996
And then
I'll run out of steam.
719
00:41:49,081 --> 00:41:54,216
The good thing is that while my
colleagues were painting their cars,
720
00:41:54,301 --> 00:41:57,716
I was fitting mine
with oxygen tanks.
721
00:41:57,801 --> 00:41:59,496
So when I start to
really struggle,
722
00:41:59,581 --> 00:42:04,196
I shall simply feed pure O2
to the engine, and me.
723
00:42:07,161 --> 00:42:09,496
Oh, my God.
724
00:42:09,581 --> 00:42:11,956
Come on.
725
00:42:12,041 --> 00:42:14,936
Hammond, how are things
in your monster truck?
726
00:42:15,021 --> 00:42:19,136
Not brilliant. It's gone very
wheezy and it's getting very hot.
727
00:42:19,221 --> 00:42:22,476
We've just passed
14,000 feet now.
728
00:42:22,561 --> 00:42:24,916
Really running out of power.
729
00:42:26,161 --> 00:42:28,496
Switching to oxygen
for the engine.
730
00:42:28,581 --> 00:42:32,336
There we are, two clicks.
731
00:42:32,421 --> 00:42:34,696
Right, watch this.
732
00:42:37,081 --> 00:42:39,876
Kick-down is restored.
733
00:42:39,961 --> 00:42:41,856
That's profound,
the difference.
734
00:42:44,641 --> 00:42:48,996
Leading my breathless colleagues,
we continued to climb...
735
00:42:51,201 --> 00:42:55,356
and soon found ourselves
on a volcano.
736
00:43:02,201 --> 00:43:05,516
Last erupted in the 1980s
737
00:43:05,601 --> 00:43:08,436
and killed 25,000 people.
738
00:43:09,841 --> 00:43:13,876
I've never seen anywhere
with fewer animals in it.
739
00:43:13,961 --> 00:43:16,216
Condors live here,
I'm telling you.
740
00:43:16,301 --> 00:43:18,796
They come
and get volcano mice.
741
00:43:18,881 --> 00:43:23,216
You're destroying our cars, you've got
oxygen for you and your car only,
742
00:43:23,301 --> 00:43:27,316
and we can see nothing!
743
00:43:27,401 --> 00:43:31,956
Hammond did seem to have
a point, as no condors appeared.
744
00:43:33,601 --> 00:43:37,016
Nothing for it,
we've gotta go higher
745
00:43:37,101 --> 00:43:39,436
to find Colin Condor.
746
00:43:40,161 --> 00:43:42,516
Come on, hurry up, follow me.
747
00:43:45,761 --> 00:43:48,536
This is it,
this is all I've got.
748
00:43:48,621 --> 00:43:54,276
Foot is flat to the floor,
the temperature is flying up.
749
00:43:54,361 --> 00:43:57,476
I've just been told
we're at 15,500 feet.
750
00:43:59,721 --> 00:44:02,076
Oh, God,
not another steep one.
751
00:44:08,721 --> 00:44:10,596
Yes!
752
00:44:10,681 --> 00:44:14,356
My plucky little Panda,
however, was coping rather well.
753
00:44:15,481 --> 00:44:18,436
Oh, ho-ho-ho.
754
00:44:18,521 --> 00:44:20,916
Until it broke down.
755
00:44:22,261 --> 00:44:24,556
Bollocks!
756
00:44:24,641 --> 00:44:27,436
Um, I've got
a completely dead battery.
757
00:44:30,041 --> 00:44:33,296
Right, James, I'm gonna try
and push-start you with this.
758
00:44:33,381 --> 00:44:34,916
I'll be gentle.
759
00:44:35,001 --> 00:44:38,136
OK, please push me with
the bumper, not the wheels.
760
00:44:38,221 --> 00:44:40,556
I'm sure you realise that.
761
00:44:42,481 --> 00:44:43,716
Whoa!
762
00:44:43,801 --> 00:44:46,176
Hammond, you've put
my window through.
763
00:44:46,261 --> 00:44:47,796
Oh, there is a God!
764
00:44:47,881 --> 00:44:51,016
I'm gonna back up to amuse
myself looking at this.
765
00:44:51,101 --> 00:44:52,476
Reverse!
766
00:44:52,561 --> 00:44:53,856
Yeah, but you've
become disconnected
767
00:44:53,941 --> 00:44:55,876
on your back bumper
on one side.
768
00:44:58,161 --> 00:45:00,936
Oh, God, now mine's died
and it's boiling.
769
00:45:01,021 --> 00:45:03,316
Whoa, that's proper boiling.
770
00:45:03,401 --> 00:45:07,856
My only option was to try and keep
some air flowing through the radiator.
771
00:45:07,941 --> 00:45:10,276
So I set off once more.
772
00:45:15,521 --> 00:45:17,521
Errr...
773
00:45:21,641 --> 00:45:24,916
It's swimming through ash,
that's the problem.
774
00:45:26,281 --> 00:45:29,516
It's now getting hotter than
ever and I don't like this edge.
775
00:45:33,481 --> 00:45:36,196
That shat me up a bit.
776
00:45:43,561 --> 00:45:47,456
Clarkson, how much further is it
to this "No picture opportunity"?
777
00:45:47,541 --> 00:45:52,516
Not much further now. Only
a couple of... Oh, a bit.
778
00:45:53,321 --> 00:45:55,116
He doesn't know.
779
00:45:55,201 --> 00:45:58,856
But then I saw
exactly the sort of ridge
780
00:45:58,941 --> 00:46:02,636
condors use to keep aloft.
781
00:46:02,721 --> 00:46:06,516
To reach it, though, we'd
have to turn off the track.
782
00:46:07,481 --> 00:46:10,836
Now let's show those two
what the Jeep can do.
783
00:46:13,081 --> 00:46:15,436
There you go, there you go.
784
00:46:20,361 --> 00:46:23,376
No, I can't get up there.
785
00:46:23,461 --> 00:46:26,156
That simply doesn't work.
786
00:46:26,241 --> 00:46:28,596
It's like talcum powder.
787
00:46:36,201 --> 00:46:39,076
No. Stuck again.
788
00:46:40,881 --> 00:46:43,236
Come on. Come on, Jeep.
789
00:46:44,121 --> 00:46:46,476
Yes, you little beauty.
790
00:46:55,521 --> 00:46:57,876
Uhh.
791
00:47:02,641 --> 00:47:06,996
Um, I may have overreached
myself a little bit.
792
00:47:07,081 --> 00:47:08,456
Oh, look at all the condors.
793
00:47:08,541 --> 00:47:11,176
I can see they're everywhere.
794
00:47:11,261 --> 00:47:14,476
It doesn't work.
Let's face it.
795
00:47:15,161 --> 00:47:18,076
I've had a brilliant idea.
796
00:47:18,161 --> 00:47:22,496
Let's just get off this dusty
bit and set our hides up there.
797
00:47:22,581 --> 00:47:24,281
Yes.
798
00:47:28,721 --> 00:47:31,076
So, we drove off the dust...
799
00:47:33,841 --> 00:47:37,196
found a new
likely-looking spot,
800
00:47:37,281 --> 00:47:39,336
and when the clouds
had lifted,
801
00:47:39,421 --> 00:47:43,476
we set about getting ready
to do photography.
802
00:47:47,801 --> 00:47:52,696
The idea of the netting is it
stops the shine on the windows.
803
00:47:52,781 --> 00:47:54,976
Very visible to animals.
804
00:47:55,061 --> 00:47:57,041
Oh.
805
00:47:58,321 --> 00:48:00,676
There was some
on this side as well.
806
00:48:03,441 --> 00:48:06,496
- Right, it's ready.
- You're going up in it?
807
00:48:06,581 --> 00:48:08,256
Well, why would you not?
808
00:48:08,341 --> 00:48:10,236
Well, I can see one reason.
809
00:48:10,321 --> 00:48:11,576
You see the maximum weight?
810
00:48:11,661 --> 00:48:13,596
159kg.
811
00:48:13,681 --> 00:48:15,856
- What's...?
- Well, you're not going anywhere, are you?
812
00:48:15,941 --> 00:48:19,396
- Well, the camera is quite heavy.
- No... OK, it's the camera.
813
00:48:24,161 --> 00:48:26,161
Bye!
814
00:48:30,281 --> 00:48:33,296
This is a lot higher than
it looked in the brochure.
815
00:48:33,381 --> 00:48:34,976
I wouldn't like that.
816
00:48:35,061 --> 00:48:37,396
That's really horrible.
817
00:48:39,481 --> 00:48:42,396
Keep going till the end bit drops out.
818
00:48:42,481 --> 00:48:44,096
- Why don't you two...
- Yes?
819
00:48:44,181 --> 00:48:45,536
Get in your cars.
820
00:48:45,621 --> 00:48:46,716
- Yes?
- OK.
821
00:48:46,801 --> 00:48:49,576
And can I just reinforce
one thing?
822
00:48:49,661 --> 00:48:52,256
- What?
- Silence is key.
823
00:48:52,341 --> 00:48:54,676
Agreed.
824
00:49:05,161 --> 00:49:07,296
That ridge up there
looks promising.
825
00:49:07,381 --> 00:49:08,756
Right.
826
00:49:11,021 --> 00:49:13,036
Where is it?
827
00:49:13,121 --> 00:49:15,636
No, no, no, back a bit, back.
828
00:49:15,721 --> 00:49:19,056
I can't go back. I'll have
to go all the way round.
829
00:49:19,141 --> 00:49:21,356
I can hear it from up here.
830
00:49:25,081 --> 00:49:27,136
Right, that one there, stop.
831
00:49:27,221 --> 00:49:29,201
Got it.
832
00:49:33,961 --> 00:49:36,316
Think I'll make a coffee.
833
00:49:37,561 --> 00:49:39,236
Sorry.
834
00:49:39,321 --> 00:49:42,816
Then it was May's
turn to disturb the peace.
835
00:49:46,561 --> 00:49:47,856
What is that?
836
00:49:47,941 --> 00:49:49,536
It's a bird call.
837
00:49:49,621 --> 00:49:53,036
It's a duck!
838
00:49:53,121 --> 00:49:57,076
Moments later, though,
there was an even worse noise.
839
00:49:57,841 --> 00:49:59,376
Oh, God.
840
00:49:59,461 --> 00:50:00,916
Jesus!
841
00:50:01,001 --> 00:50:02,616
If only there was
something tall and metal
842
00:50:02,701 --> 00:50:04,636
that would attract
the lightning.
843
00:50:06,161 --> 00:50:10,556
Not wishing to be
fried, I quickly descended.
844
00:50:10,641 --> 00:50:13,956
And then we all tried to
outrun the storm...
845
00:50:16,241 --> 00:50:18,216
which didn't work.
846
00:50:24,401 --> 00:50:27,236
Jesus Christ!
847
00:50:27,321 --> 00:50:30,476
We're 250 miles
from the equator,
848
00:50:30,561 --> 00:50:33,476
we're on a volcano
in a severe hailstorm.
849
00:50:38,121 --> 00:50:41,076
How much hail is there
in the sky?
850
00:50:41,161 --> 00:50:43,516
There's hail coming in now.
851
00:50:45,801 --> 00:50:48,876
It's bouncing in
through the back.
852
00:50:48,961 --> 00:50:51,396
Still, we got some
great condor photographs.
853
00:50:52,761 --> 00:50:55,356
Oh...
look at this now.
854
00:50:55,441 --> 00:50:58,056
Life in the Jeep was hideous.
855
00:50:58,141 --> 00:51:00,121
Oh, God.
856
00:51:01,241 --> 00:51:04,316
Ah, ah...
857
00:51:04,401 --> 00:51:07,576
Ice right down
the back of my neck.
858
00:51:07,661 --> 00:51:09,596
Oh...
859
00:51:09,681 --> 00:51:11,856
I've just put all the ice
down the back of my seat.
860
00:51:11,941 --> 00:51:13,436
Oh, bollocks!
861
00:51:13,521 --> 00:51:15,856
Richard was very sympathetic.
862
00:51:15,941 --> 00:51:18,076
Oh, dear.
863
00:51:18,161 --> 00:51:20,516
Oh, that is a lot of snow.
864
00:51:23,481 --> 00:51:27,836
Oh, joy. Joyous moment.
865
00:51:29,921 --> 00:51:32,416
Mercifully, though,
the storm passed,
866
00:51:32,501 --> 00:51:38,756
so we drove down the rough and icy
mountain track, long into the night.
867
00:51:43,721 --> 00:51:46,096
And the next morning
woke for a rethink
868
00:51:46,181 --> 00:51:49,996
in a makeshift
camp on the edge of a town.
869
00:52:07,881 --> 00:52:09,236
What are you doing?
870
00:52:09,321 --> 00:52:11,436
I told you condors
live down here.
871
00:52:11,521 --> 00:52:14,896
Living? It was living up there
and it's had engine failure,
872
00:52:14,981 --> 00:52:16,356
and it's crashed here.
873
00:52:16,441 --> 00:52:18,176
Doesn't matter how
it got here. Fact is, it is
874
00:52:18,261 --> 00:52:20,756
and I've got the pictures of
it. That means we're done.
875
00:52:20,841 --> 00:52:22,656
You can't put that...
876
00:52:22,741 --> 00:52:25,376
on an Amazon screen saver.
877
00:52:25,461 --> 00:52:26,716
Why not?
878
00:52:26,801 --> 00:52:30,036
Well...
879
00:52:30,121 --> 00:52:32,196
It's lost quite a lot
of its majesty.
880
00:52:32,281 --> 00:52:35,496
But it's a condor, and that means we're
finished, that's it. We're done.
881
00:52:35,581 --> 00:52:37,636
James,
I've got a condor shot.
882
00:52:37,721 --> 00:52:39,056
Have you?
Have you done it?
883
00:52:39,141 --> 00:52:41,536
That is the final one.
It's a condor, in camera,
884
00:52:41,621 --> 00:52:44,196
finished, out of here.
885
00:52:45,841 --> 00:52:47,256
Hammond was wrong, though.
886
00:52:47,341 --> 00:52:50,196
We still had
one more animal to find.
887
00:52:50,281 --> 00:52:52,636
The one that didn't
make any sense.
888
00:52:53,321 --> 00:52:55,556
The hippopotamus.
889
00:52:55,641 --> 00:53:00,116
Right, listen, this is
obviously some kind of town.
890
00:53:00,201 --> 00:53:03,396
I am a journalist,
and a bloody good one.
891
00:53:04,361 --> 00:53:06,196
So why don't I pop into town
892
00:53:06,281 --> 00:53:09,916
and see if I can find out anything
about this hippopotamus story?
893
00:53:21,721 --> 00:53:25,516
My hide did not do
well on that drive last night.
894
00:53:29,521 --> 00:53:32,296
No, I can see that,
and neither did my camera.
895
00:53:32,381 --> 00:53:36,676
No, it's, um, fogged up, I
think, is the technical term.
896
00:53:36,761 --> 00:53:39,976
My car actually
fell over in the night.
897
00:53:40,061 --> 00:53:42,196
I know nothing about it.
898
00:53:42,281 --> 00:53:45,696
Once we'd parked,
I set about doing journalism.
899
00:53:47,721 --> 00:53:49,856
This is like being back on
the Rotherham Advertiser.
900
00:53:49,941 --> 00:53:52,276
Except this is nothing
like Rotherham.
901
00:53:54,001 --> 00:53:56,256
- Buenos dias.
- Buenos dias.
902
00:53:56,341 --> 00:53:58,676
Hippopotamus.
903
00:54:00,321 --> 00:54:01,656
Hippopotami?
904
00:54:01,741 --> 00:54:03,756
Gracias.
905
00:54:03,841 --> 00:54:06,316
Nobody knows, nobody knows.
906
00:54:06,401 --> 00:54:08,496
Having drawn
a journalistic blank...
907
00:54:08,581 --> 00:54:09,796
Excuse me.
908
00:54:09,881 --> 00:54:12,636
I decided
to do art instead.
909
00:54:17,281 --> 00:54:18,656
Hippopotamus.
910
00:54:18,741 --> 00:54:21,296
- What?
- Hippopotamus.
911
00:54:21,381 --> 00:54:25,076
Yes. Where?
912
00:54:27,401 --> 00:54:29,896
What's that? Got a Spanish-speaking
cameraman, where is he?
913
00:54:29,981 --> 00:54:31,296
What's that mean?
914
00:54:36,121 --> 00:54:37,656
They are here.
915
00:54:37,741 --> 00:54:40,076
They are here?
916
00:54:40,161 --> 00:54:42,416
Where are they?
917
00:54:46,881 --> 00:54:51,956
Having got the information,
I went back to my colleagues.
918
00:54:52,601 --> 00:54:54,036
Any joy?
919
00:54:54,121 --> 00:54:55,556
More than.
920
00:54:55,641 --> 00:55:00,036
I have heard the most
astonishing story.
921
00:55:00,121 --> 00:55:02,996
Apparently there was
this guy in Colombia
922
00:55:03,081 --> 00:55:07,116
who had a business exporting forest
products all around the world, OK?
923
00:55:07,201 --> 00:55:09,456
Really, really successful.
So successful,
924
00:55:09,541 --> 00:55:12,556
he bought himself
some pet hippopotamuses.
925
00:55:12,641 --> 00:55:15,276
- Who was he?
- Pablo someone or other.
926
00:55:15,361 --> 00:55:17,176
Anyway, the police shot him.
927
00:55:17,261 --> 00:55:19,876
- Why?
- I don't know.
928
00:55:19,961 --> 00:55:23,216
They shot him and after he was
dead, his hippopotamuses escaped.
929
00:55:23,301 --> 00:55:26,676
Yeah? And they've been living
in the wild and breeding.
930
00:55:26,761 --> 00:55:29,736
So there are hippopotamuses
here and they are wild
931
00:55:29,821 --> 00:55:31,616
and I know where they are
932
00:55:31,701 --> 00:55:34,596
and they're only 120km away.
933
00:55:34,681 --> 00:55:36,876
- Well, we're in.
- Let's do it.
934
00:55:36,961 --> 00:55:38,576
- Finish your coffees.
- That's excellent.
935
00:55:38,661 --> 00:55:40,096
That is staggering news.
936
00:55:40,181 --> 00:55:41,856
The only thing is,
for this 120km,
937
00:55:41,941 --> 00:55:44,576
would either of you mind
if I modified my car?
938
00:55:44,661 --> 00:55:46,836
By unmodifying it.
939
00:55:52,321 --> 00:55:54,616
Having all
unmodified our cars,
940
00:55:54,701 --> 00:55:56,896
I decided
that before moving out,
941
00:55:56,981 --> 00:55:59,876
there was a small job to do.
942
00:55:59,961 --> 00:56:05,076
Right, I've borrowed something from
Hammond to annoy May.
943
00:56:14,761 --> 00:56:17,116
Soy Un Hombre
944
00:56:27,201 --> 00:56:31,536
Seeing that little New Labour Fiat
Panda with its Brexit sticker on.
945
00:56:34,641 --> 00:56:39,776
That is like putting an I-heart-Mexico
sticker on the back of Donald Trump's Beast.
946
00:56:39,861 --> 00:56:42,196
I mean, his car, not...
947
00:56:45,041 --> 00:56:50,676
We were now on the last
75 miles of our 1300-mile trek
948
00:56:50,761 --> 00:56:56,516
through what had turned out to be one of
the world's most incredible countries.
949
00:56:58,401 --> 00:57:03,316
If you were to combine Canada
and Russia and Australia,
950
00:57:03,401 --> 00:57:05,696
you still wouldn't have
the variety,
951
00:57:05,781 --> 00:57:09,056
in terms of terrain and
temperature and wildlife,
952
00:57:09,141 --> 00:57:11,976
that we've seen on this...
953
00:57:12,061 --> 00:57:15,396
absolutely epic journey.
954
00:57:46,161 --> 00:57:50,176
But of course, we wouldn't have
been able to see any of that
955
00:57:50,261 --> 00:57:52,076
without our cars.
956
00:57:52,161 --> 00:57:54,516
Felicidad
957
00:58:05,441 --> 00:58:10,016
Let me just remind you that
this is a small, 49 horsepower,
958
00:58:10,101 --> 00:58:13,656
one-litre utility hatchback.
959
00:58:13,741 --> 00:58:16,476
It is a humble car.
960
00:58:16,561 --> 00:58:20,036
And yet that humility
is actually its strength.
961
00:58:20,121 --> 00:58:23,156
Because it's done everything
the other two cars have done.
962
00:58:23,241 --> 00:58:26,936
It's climbed the same mountains, it's
driven along the same rutted tracks,
963
00:58:27,021 --> 00:58:29,876
it's forded
the same small rivers.
964
00:58:29,961 --> 00:58:32,436
It's absolutely brilliant.
I love it.
965
00:58:37,001 --> 00:58:39,376
On this trip, the camera
and production teams
966
00:58:39,461 --> 00:58:44,236
have lost six almost new
Toyota Land Cruisers.
967
00:58:45,401 --> 00:58:48,516
Hammond has lost
a half shaft.
968
00:58:48,601 --> 00:58:52,636
May's lost most of his
electrics and a starter motor.
969
00:58:54,041 --> 00:58:56,016
But this... nothing.
970
00:58:56,101 --> 00:58:59,356
Nothing has gone wrong.
971
00:58:59,441 --> 00:59:02,256
It's taken everything that
Colombia could throw at it.
972
00:59:02,341 --> 00:59:04,916
Temperature extremes,
altitude extremes,
973
00:59:05,001 --> 00:59:06,456
roads like
you wouldn't believe
974
00:59:06,541 --> 00:59:09,356
and it's just gone,
"Yeah? What?"
975
00:59:10,961 --> 00:59:12,956
Yes, it's desperately
uncomfortable
976
00:59:13,041 --> 00:59:14,616
and if you hit
a pothole hard enough,
977
00:59:14,701 --> 00:59:18,096
it would put your spine through
the top of your skull.
978
00:59:18,181 --> 00:59:20,916
But, and this is
more important,
979
00:59:21,001 --> 00:59:25,796
I liked it when we got here
and I like it even more now.
980
00:59:28,081 --> 00:59:30,436
It has a sturdy heart.
981
00:59:36,841 --> 00:59:41,156
I do realise that James Bond
doesn't drive a monster truck.
982
00:59:41,241 --> 00:59:44,416
Nobody in a suit, in fact, has
ever driven a monster truck.
983
00:59:44,501 --> 00:59:47,236
They're not... cool.
984
00:59:47,321 --> 00:59:52,216
You could argue, as the other two have,
that they're moronic and stupid.
985
00:59:52,301 --> 00:59:54,996
Or you could argue
that they're fun...
986
00:59:55,081 --> 00:59:58,516
Cos that's what they are. They're
built to make you smile.
987
00:59:58,601 --> 01:00:01,756
And what amazes me is that even
with the modifications done to it,
988
01:00:01,841 --> 01:00:03,216
all of which
have made it worse...
989
01:00:03,301 --> 01:00:07,596
It's too tall, too wide,
too slow. It overheats.
990
01:00:07,681 --> 01:00:10,296
Still it's done everything
the other two cars have done,
991
01:00:10,381 --> 01:00:12,376
which makes it the best,
992
01:00:12,461 --> 01:00:14,796
easily, in my opinion.
993
01:00:15,481 --> 01:00:17,956
Oh, my car's gone again.
994
01:00:18,041 --> 01:00:20,016
My car has just died again.
995
01:00:20,101 --> 01:00:22,916
I'm pulling over.
996
01:00:23,001 --> 01:00:26,736
Had you just done a piece to
camera saying what a great truck it was?
997
01:00:26,821 --> 01:00:29,156
I may have done.
998
01:00:31,281 --> 01:00:32,361
Yeah.
999
01:00:34,561 --> 01:00:38,076
Eventually the Trump
truck was back in business.
1000
01:00:40,401 --> 01:00:44,436
And soon we were close
to our final destination.
1001
01:00:48,601 --> 01:00:52,636
Right, this apparently is the
area where the businessman lived.
1002
01:00:52,721 --> 01:00:55,176
And if you go down
his escape road here...
1003
01:00:55,261 --> 01:00:56,936
- His what?
- Escape road.
1004
01:00:57,021 --> 01:00:59,756
He built it
in case the police came.
1005
01:00:59,841 --> 01:01:01,196
And so he could get away.
1006
01:01:01,281 --> 01:01:03,136
- It wasn't very good, then.
- No, it wasn't.
1007
01:01:03,221 --> 01:01:08,116
Anyway, if you go down it, there's a
pool where the hippos are now living.
1008
01:01:08,761 --> 01:01:10,296
Target acquired.
Let's do it.
1009
01:01:10,381 --> 01:01:12,396
- Let's do that.
- Hippos!
1010
01:01:17,801 --> 01:01:20,476
So, a quick dash
down the escape route...
1011
01:01:21,521 --> 01:01:24,516
to the water,
grab a shot of a hippo.
1012
01:01:28,841 --> 01:01:30,896
Yes, viewers,
about a kilometre to go
1013
01:01:30,981 --> 01:01:34,096
and I haven't been run over
by a monster truck.
1014
01:01:35,681 --> 01:01:38,036
I'm absolutely delighted.
1015
01:01:39,241 --> 01:01:40,816
Hammond,
I can only see you behind me.
1016
01:01:40,901 --> 01:01:43,236
Can you see Clarkson
behind you?
1017
01:01:44,081 --> 01:01:46,756
No. Just looking for him.
1018
01:01:46,841 --> 01:01:51,996
At that moment, though, we were
distracted by what lay in front of us.
1019
01:01:56,681 --> 01:01:58,856
That is a pond!
1020
01:01:58,941 --> 01:02:01,096
That's a pond.
1021
01:02:01,181 --> 01:02:03,516
Yes.
1022
01:02:05,481 --> 01:02:07,156
- We're in with a shout here.
- What?
1023
01:02:07,241 --> 01:02:09,216
Well, that looks like a hippo
sort of pond, doesn't it?
1024
01:02:09,301 --> 01:02:11,576
Who put that..
Did you put that on my car?
1025
01:02:11,661 --> 01:02:13,676
- What?
- That sticker?
1026
01:02:13,761 --> 01:02:15,376
No, I thought you did
when you did your mods.
1027
01:02:15,461 --> 01:02:17,556
- Don't be ridiculous.
- Well, I was surprised.
1028
01:02:17,641 --> 01:02:19,296
It's a strong statement
for you but...
1029
01:02:19,381 --> 01:02:21,316
You did that at that
fuel stop, didn't you?
1030
01:02:21,401 --> 01:02:23,816
- No, it's been there since your mods went on, mate.
- No, it hasn't.
1031
01:02:23,901 --> 01:02:27,296
You shout it loud and proud. I
wouldn't let your friends see it.
1032
01:02:27,381 --> 01:02:29,956
Anyway, important business
to be done.
1033
01:02:31,361 --> 01:02:32,816
Rather than wait for Jeremy,
1034
01:02:32,901 --> 01:02:34,256
we decided to be ready
1035
01:02:34,341 --> 01:02:37,236
in case our
final target appeared.
1036
01:03:00,001 --> 01:03:02,001
Hammond...
1037
01:03:09,561 --> 01:03:11,561
He-he-he.
1038
01:03:14,041 --> 01:03:17,236
Martha Hussein,
you are in my sights.
1039
01:03:24,041 --> 01:03:26,396
Look at his big fat face.
1040
01:03:35,121 --> 01:03:37,476
Yes!
1041
01:03:38,721 --> 01:03:41,536
- Well, that's it.
- That's tremendous.
1042
01:03:43,181 --> 01:03:45,636
Hippopotamus!
1043
01:03:45,721 --> 01:03:47,316
Photos of a hippo.
1044
01:03:47,401 --> 01:03:49,876
- Congratulations.
- Well done, us.
1045
01:03:49,961 --> 01:03:53,036
I say we've done it.
We've done it. Where's...
1046
01:03:53,121 --> 01:03:54,856
I know, I've been
worrying about that.
1047
01:03:54,941 --> 01:03:56,436
Well, if it gets here,
1048
01:03:56,521 --> 01:03:58,096
you realise that'll be
the first time
1049
01:03:58,181 --> 01:03:59,616
any car
on any of these trips
1050
01:03:59,701 --> 01:04:02,036
has ever got to the end
without a single fault.
1051
01:04:02,121 --> 01:04:03,556
Nothing's gone wrong with it.
1052
01:04:03,641 --> 01:04:05,276
That's about the only time
that's ever happened.
1053
01:04:05,361 --> 01:04:06,549
- The car, get to the end,
- You're right.
1054
01:04:06,634 --> 01:04:07,794
It hasn't broken at all.
1055
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:10,215
That's a record.
1056
01:04:11,521 --> 01:04:13,816
You don't think he fell off
that little scary bridgy bit?
1057
01:04:13,901 --> 01:04:15,876
I don't know.
1058
01:04:15,961 --> 01:04:18,696
He overcooked it because it's near the end.
And tried to do some...
1059
01:04:18,781 --> 01:04:21,056
- Hang on a minute, is that...?
- It is.
1060
01:04:21,141 --> 01:04:26,336
Oh, brief moment of elation
followed by plummeting depression.
1061
01:04:29,801 --> 01:04:31,656
- Where have you been?
- Welcome.
1062
01:04:31,741 --> 01:04:33,576
I've been mending my camera.
1063
01:04:33,661 --> 01:04:35,516
- You don't need it.
- What?
1064
01:04:35,601 --> 01:04:37,896
We've done it, mate. We've got
shots of a hippo. It is done.
1065
01:04:37,981 --> 01:04:40,136
- We've finished. We've done it.
- Behold the hippo.
1066
01:04:40,221 --> 01:04:41,656
We got shots
of a hippo just then.
1067
01:04:41,741 --> 01:04:43,356
Came out
a couple of minutes ago.
1068
01:04:43,441 --> 01:04:45,376
- So that's the end?
- That is the end. -Job done.
1069
01:04:45,461 --> 01:04:48,616
And we've got through the whole programme
without once mentioning cocaine.
1070
01:04:48,701 --> 01:04:50,476
Oh.
1071
01:04:50,561 --> 01:04:53,076
James, we said
before we came out here,
1072
01:04:53,161 --> 01:04:54,736
we weren't going to use
the c-word.
1073
01:04:54,821 --> 01:04:57,016
We were going to be
the first people ever
1074
01:04:57,101 --> 01:04:59,696
to go to Colombia
and not talk that.
1075
01:04:59,781 --> 01:05:00,836
Sorry.
1076
01:05:00,921 --> 01:05:03,436
It just slipped out.
1077
01:05:03,521 --> 01:05:05,256
And on that terrible
disappointment, it's time to end.
1078
01:05:05,341 --> 01:05:07,936
We hope you enjoy looking at
the photographs we've taken.
1079
01:05:08,021 --> 01:05:10,396
- They won't.
- Well, some of them are quite good.
1080
01:05:10,481 --> 01:05:12,376
- Well, one or two of them are good.
- No.
1081
01:05:12,461 --> 01:05:14,816
Well, whatever.
We'll see you very soon.
1082
01:05:14,901 --> 01:05:16,116
Goodbye.
