Oh, clock.

Hey guys, didn't want to start an unnecessary thread, thought this would be the best place to ask a little TG question:
Does anybody recall a scene where Jeremy did a comedy pronunciation of a German word? I believe he was outside, might have been with another presenter. IIRC when he said the word they zoomed in on his humorous mouth contortions as he massacred the pronunciation. The word might have been a town name. Not sure.
Watched the episode a few years ago and my family and I were in stitches. I've skimmed through a number of episodes with no success at finding it. Any searches I can think up just get me his thoughts on Germans pronouncing "Squirrel"
Thanks
Not sure if this is it, but in Series 15, when they were driving used cheap German super saloons across Germany, there was a scene where they has their cars inspected by some massive mobile service van. Jeremy read some German phrases out of a translator book, and it was pretty hilarious.
For a Czech, "squirrel" or "doppelkupplung..." is not a problem at all, "girlfriend" however, is a real tongue-breaker.
Looks like it's got extra footage (probably the behind the scenes that are online), but I haven't found anything to say there's commentary. Mine's been sent out, I'll let you know what's there when I get it (if no one else posts first).
Edit: Those "behind the scenes that are online" would be the ones in my imagination, of course. I was thinking of the "Nile" extras that are online... :?
However, there is one Burma one on the Top Gear website that is rather funny.
