Top Gear, Series 3

Top Gear (2002-present) is a BAFTA and Emmy Award winning BBC television series about motor vehicles, mainly cars. more »

Jeremy:
Now what I'd like to do at this point to demonstrate the difference between car and plane even more is bolt the Stig into the Saab here and have him race a fighter jet round our track. [laughing] Only trouble is, can you imagine ringing up the Royal Navy and saying, "Hello, I'm from that pokey motoring programme on BBC, would it be possible to borrow one of your Sea Harriers?" You can imagine what the response would be.

[cut to a shot of a Sea Harrier taxiing into position next to the Stig-driven Saab at the start/finish line of the test track]

Jeremy:
[voiceover] Yes, they were there in a jiffy.
