Tokyo Top Gear is lovely jubbly

Top Gear goes all Del Boy and Rodney on Sunday night as hosts Chris Harris and Matt Leblanc shop for motors in Japan.

BBC2’S diamond geezers have a genius business plan to buy a couple of mint nineties sports cars at auction, ship ‘em to the UK and sell ’em on for a tidy profit.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t reckoned with (a) the madness of Tokyo’s traffic; (b) the madness of Tokyo’s conveyor-belt car auctions, and (c) the inevitability of their producers laying on challenges to check out their new wheels. T’riffic.
