The Colombia Special Part 2
Sat, Jan 26, 201966 mins
In part two of this special episode, Clarkson, Hammond and May are tasked with getting Amazon some new, high-quality screensaver photos depicting interesting animals. In order to do this, the three head to Colombia, the most ecologically diverse country on earth, where they elect to do most of their wildlife photography from cars they've picked for the purpose with Clarkson in a Jeep Wrangler, Hammond in a Chevrolet Silverado pick-up and May crammed into a tiny Fiat Panda 4x4. Naturally, their contrasting approaches to buying suitable cars are matched by their contrasting attitudes to photography, none of which are conventional nor especially effective since animals initially prove to be absent or just very good at hiding, leading the hosts on an epic and increasingly challenging trip across one of the most stunning and fascinating countries on earth. This show contains scenes that donkey enthusiasts may find disturbing.

Funeral for a Ford
Fri, Apr 12, 201955 mins
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May present a short and informative history class on one of the bedrocks of British life; the medium-sized Ford saloon. Starting with the Cortina of the 1960s and '70s, the three chart the history of the car that changed British society and provided transport for millions of dads including Clarkson senior and father May though not, to his annoyance, Richard's dad. To cover the '80s part of this documentary, Richard takes to the track in the legendary Sierra RS Cosworth before all three hosts re-group to celebrate the Ford Mondeo and this model's unique claim to fame. Since the Mondeo seems certain to cease production without replacement in the coming years, the history lesson ends with a touching memorial service to this totem of British life.
