Top Gear Africa Special — Best Moments | Series 19 |

top gear special you've seen sir david attenborough's take on africa now it's time to see ours as you can see i've gone for a bmw 528i and i'm going to be doing it like that oh hang on that is the throb of a turbo charged flat 4 engine a sound which all over the world heralds the imminent arrival of the morons richard hammond everybody subaru impreza wrx emeritus professors all over the world even she looks a bit like you what you know small and with a sort of surprised express a tree it's a house my face in that car i'm at oh i'm 28 time rear wheel drive 2.8 straight six how many miles has it done 151 000 this though is the last of the mechanical photo series after this they started using computers james isn't here no surprises there i know for a fact what he's got go on he'll have a volvo because you know he's got no imagination at all as it turned out james did have a volvo you will find the source of the river nile so we just go that way i can live uphill here we go [Music] the source of the the source of the river now we would take up the challenge no matter what the perils no matter what the hardships no matter what i'm sorry to interrupt but i think we have we've found it um we're only a few minutes in what look uh this is not the source of the nile we broke out the map well it's got quite a sticky throttle but other than that every single thing works even the air conditioning i've never ever had a car with working air conditioning before on one of these trips but i have now and it is joyous impreza is all about that engine and drivetrain you're just aware constantly that this is rally bread the other two they're just sporty versions of order estate cars this is the best car in fact it's cracking car the volvo 850r this one's done 145 000 miles it's just clicked over in fact onto that figure and you wouldn't really know so smooth the transmission is excellent the engine is silky everything works except the air conditioning but at least that saves me the effort of getting really annoyed when the other two deliberately break it out of spite jealousy and small mindedness bulletscard and tebby airport it was here in 1976 that israeli special forces staged a daring operation to rescue passengers from a hijacked airliner oh wow look at this i'll tell you what i couldn't be israeli special forces i'm done too i'm exhausted they've been all sitting there thinking oh hell here comes help and then out on the balcony we saw something a bit worrying what's that ford scorpio that's why they brought us here funny funny yeah because what that is that's the forfeit card if one of our cars goes wrong which let's face it james yours is gonna break in half jeremy broke out his vast and sophisticated tool kit what else is electrical in here not the exhaust manifold oh my god what are we going to do seriously here because [Music] it wasn't a dream i'm still here it's my town just entered jezza oh no well i say we've just entered jesus that's a disgusting thought we've come into jezza no we haven't come into jezebel even though we were on an important mission i decided we should pull over and have a look around there's a church they've actually had a church where they worship me protect and serve i've never seen that and those because that doesn't make any sense at all there is jezza's back alley well found my name is jezza your name is jesus my name is jezza where do you got that right i think it is time to pull out of jesus i just hope nobody sees me doing it that's how it runs he started to dye his hair do you even look no he's 40 following or isn't it great you know paul mccartney yeah yeah um whoa whoa i can't stop you idiots i can't stop it but i can't stop it either there you go i told you there would be a hotel and there it is have you heard of those boutique hotels oh my god hammond we're in africa and we're not in like a big touristy bit of africa all the hotels are gonna be like that or worse and i've had an idea if you suggest camping there will be a live and celebrated television desk a gentleman explorer's quarters it's a library james yeah look at the rangers you don't need when you're looking for the source of the nile number one library do any of the books contain the exact location of the true source of the dial in which case it's a rather wasted exercise anyway and this will just make you itch it's an itchy blanket it's designed to remind you how lucky you are i've uncovered one design feature in here that i don't like the driver oh god we decided to stop on its shoreline for a night in our new accommodation nothing what now what's your problem nothing oh dear kitchen nightmare [Laughter] this car is just masterful [Music] whoa yeah this is gonna be bad dude i'm gonna have to stop for a minute when captain bakay caught up whoa i had a cold shower this morning my penis was like a press stud again a double bash bait's earning its keep today oh [ __ ] [Music] go faster oh [ __ ] how long has that been there happened because they can take i know exactly where it is that thing on the front of your car made out of my door yes it does what that's it can you give me a tow no as dawn broke the peace and serenity of this beautiful ugandan morning was shattered by the bellow of a wild animal [Applause] as we set off on a long drive the mood was a little fractures look at it i mean that looks like it was done with a knife and fought by the council it's not square it's not neat he's wasted material he's left sharp edges it's all bent i cannot conceive of the mind of a man who would look at that and think that was the right way to do it i don't mind you taking a bit of my bonnet that's fair i do mind you doing such an appalling bloody job of that you have pissed it out i was like i could do a better job than that with the end of a bulldozer well i couldn't find any tools the back of the car is full of bloody tools the biggest tool in this operation was you this could go off a pair of tin steps looks like a pair of robust scissors and their function is obvious they are obviously not a hammer obviously not a screwdriver they are obviously not a splatter they are obviously bizarre there we go let's get rid of him i decided to test my new handbrake the wooden handbrake is holding me i simply set off oh yes sometimes my genius is it's almost frightening oh [Laughter] did that oh dear stupidest idea in history god gave us a tool for just such a jeremy and i found a way to pass the time [Music] funny ha ha oh [Music] good morning viewers i'm afraid things may have got a little out of hand in camp last night but it's good news i found another piece of scrap metal and i managed to mend my bonnet admit i was furious when james stole my bonus scoop but then on jeremy's car i found something that does the job just as well i'm calling it the poop scoop i was a bit cross about losing my laboratory but then staggeringly in the middle of a remote field in tanzania i found a rear window that fitted into the back of my car i mean it looks like it's meant to be there it's uncanny our father who art in heaven if you're there make it go upside down please please please right so i pull you across the river yeah yes very very slowly indeed this is captain hammond ring down to the engine room oh you've got the slacks that's that's plenty fast enough well credit where is due come on you've got to admit that is quite a finish come on we're the flourish so we're in the jaws of the lion guard dead jeffy [Laughter] [Applause] that's how deep it was soon james hit a pothole oh so hard it took out two of his tyres um do you remember seems like months ago but at the beginning of this voyage we looked at these tires and said there's no way those tires will survive africa it's goodbye you're just waiting over the backup car you know the code yes oh no wait the backup cars at the bottom of a crocodile infested river i don't need a backup car i've got spare wheels you're not very useful to me or helpful please continue i'll see you later here we saw the most amazing wildlife yet they are the funniest creatures on earth aren't they why are they so funny this one's been to the daktari shop in florida hasn't it from an outfit a single piece of gear americans i don't know why but american tourists and i've never watched it america wouldn't say you're all like this but when you travel you get hysterical sadly the americans departed leaving us with nothing to look at except some hippos the road was a rutted nightmare and it was peppered with sharp stones it was a car killer this is absolute puncher ali this what's up he's got a puncture right he's also got a shared wishbone you kidding i know that's a game over isn't it the next morning in our safe camp we counted up the toll from death road i had three punctures one of which i've still got two airbags went off both of which definitely gave me heart attacks um well all all four shock absorbers are completely ruined you're any better well i had two punctures fuel line came off front bumper collapse i'm not even bothering to look at my shots because i know they've absolutely shot shot absorbers but on the plus side all the bits that attach the wheels to the car are intact speaking of questions see where is he oh hello can you hear that i can jest yeah but is that the soundtrack of an approaching [ __ ] oh rob we can't be please face hold on mate yeah well done we're impressed that you're impressed yeah great good james and i have made a bit of a decision what the source of our river is somewhere up there okay now only one of us can technically get there first they'll be the one who's remembered the other two will be forgotten because nobody remembers who comes second we propose a race whoever finds the source first into the history books buried in westminster abbey three two one power etcetera god's just undergone major surgery if christian hammond beats me in this race he will be knighted by the queen she will say arise sir richard oh you already have power westminster abbey is mine the source is in those rocks [Music] there's a bit there moving so it's that way can you imagine children of the future learning in history lessons about sir richard hammond nobody wants to look at that i know how i can get hammond out of my way [Music] oh god i'm genesising him [Music] james your suspension has collapsed your back wheel is coming off my car's collapsed i'm going on foot into the road for you our friend i'll tell you what it's like [Music] it's geology jeremy geology we got bedrock we've got the ground is sunk down indicating the presence of a spring this is soggy this could be a stream hammond is not having this wait is it no that yes yes sorry mate that was close hold on that is the source of the river nile going to put my finger in it excuse me that is the root of civilization that nourishes the ancient egyptians no not my finger the water that is the undisputed source of the river nile that is the man who found it and somewhere way down there is the ruined volvo that brought him here is the top gear flag slightly bigger than the union flags that's correct [Music] [Music] you
