9/10
I quite liked it, even if it did have a lot of scripted cocking-about. I loved the review of the Jensen Interceptor, although I was surprised that it was powered by a GM LS3. I expected the builders to keep the Chrysler connection alive by putting a Viper V10, or maybe a Hemi V8 in it. Although the LS3 at 6.2 litres is very close in displacement to the 6.3 litre Chrysler V8s that were originally fitted. Shame they didn't do something about that steering rack, though.
Continuing with the 70's theme was the test of the Lotus T125, in the classic JPS black & gold paint scheme. (Black and gold together is one of my favorite color combinations.) It was fun watching Jeremy channeling the spirit of James May every time he stalled the car. (Bloody hell!)
The Bob Geldof SIARPC segment was pretty bad. Not as bad as I'm sure the live segment was, but bad. And the editing of the interview was very apparent, when usually the TG editors work is seamless. You can tell they tried their best to make it interesting, and I thank them for the effort.
I genuinely liked seeing the military equipment that they used; as well as the stuff just lying around waiting to be bought. I just wish that Richard had been able to fly a Westland Lynx. (As, I suspect, does he.) And what was a X305 Jaguar doing in a military surplus garage? Staff car, perhaps?
On top of all that, this episode had some of the best scenes/lines of the series thus far:
Richard kicking that girl in the babymaker
"Princess Diana had one of these!"
"You've only gone and blown the bloody door off!"
"James, what are they going to do? Cu-"
Seriously? Band Aid, Live Aid, Live 8, or the Boomtown Rats don't ring any bells?
Plus, what I remember him best for - the role of Pink in "Pink Floyd's The Wall."
