Episode 1 of 8

Motoring news and views. The team each buy a second-hand lorry, Jeremy tests a scary Porsche 911 on the track, and Michael Parkinson is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Motoring news and views from the usual team. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May decide to buy second-hand lorries despite knowing almost nothing about the world of trucks, and then set about discovering how easy it is to be an HGV driver. Which turns out to be a lot harder than they thought.

Jeremy is also on the test track with a scary Porsche 911, a tame Lamborghini Gallardo and a surprisingly talented Labrador.

Chat show legend Michael Parkinson is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
