Top Gear - The David Soul interview - BBC

[77USMCvet]

He looks awful, he looks tired and haggard especially with the dark circles around his eyes. 

[NeeKroVal]

6:35

[NeeKroVal]

broke 2 transmissions i can't believe this LOLOLOL

[tryby12]

hi starkey

[MrKeelan10]

God i was so in love with him when i was younger mmmmm

[Springamatul]

advert on bbc?

[mrhemi123]

Give him a car where the gear shift is on the right, not the left and i bet he'd do a lot better

[remanguchi]

RACISTAS HIJOS DE PUTA

[BrandonAndKealan]

LOL David Soul is still cool hahaha, I always liked the guy, but stardom didnt ruin him, I like seeing real people, shows they have depth of personality, and 135mph in a Corvette Stingray through the Mohabi naked is definitely something I'm going to strive to do in my lifetime ;)

[Vwsambavan]

americans are use to automatics

they cant drive manuals

which as far as im considered autos drive you

you drive manuals

so americans canyt drive

proof

[OMGITBELIAN]

YAY! possibly the only American they've had on the show who's not obnoxious.

[TheAmericanUhate]

lmao. He broke two cars. It probably would be kinda hard to shift with your right hand when you have with your left for your entire life. I know it would take me a long while to get use to it.

[whatanightmare1]

Wow...he certainly looks different, and it is more than just the aging process. His teeth and lower face is very different from the 70's. I would not have recognized him.

I love Jeremy Clarkson...he is hilarious.

[AurelioErik]

morrissey



[ybot1983]

he looks like a tramp

[flash51050]

he is a fife beater

[louisorleans]

@flash51050 No he's a Hearts beater. Or is it Hibs???

[atlasshrugged2u]

He's a real guy, real words, real thoughts, who is done with the foolishness of celebrity, but I'm glad he's having fun at reminicing about the old days. Seems he's been through a lot and has learned from it.

Good luck to you Mr. David Soul.

Boy the host is really playing the "American" card alot right? british asshole. I couldn't tell If the host really liked him or was being condescending.

[PoochMount18]

@atlasshrugged2u

He was joking idiot, you americans are so over sensitive.

[atlasshrugged2u]

@PoochMount18 Look at it again mate! He was being condescending, everyone could tell, I'm not the only one on this site who "suspected" the host was being a smart ass. Maybe that's the "Bristish way" but as much as we (Americans) may be "sensitive" the british have a superior" way about them that can be down right rude and you know it...especially If your british, so dont get mad at me when I'm only speaking what "we American have experienced from you guys...

[jaffa169]

@atlasshrugged2u lol, jeremy clarkson is not a typical Brit lol lol lol lol thats an understatement.

[RaceIsOpen]

loved the guy! loved the show! loved his music!

[twinsonic]

yep, rubbish.. He drove a 73 Ford Galaxie

[atp1962]

David looks rough but sounds great ! What year was this, anyone know

[machone7I]

ford fairlane rubbish? idiot...

[timmytyphoon]

He was a heavy drinker and that cost him his bottom teeth...

[MickBelcker]

Same as the Christian Slater interview. David is being polite and gracious and that ugly fat bigot Clarkson starts in on one of his Anti-American rants. People need to write in to the FCC chairman and have the BBC taken off American cable systems. There is not excuse for this bigotry and hate. It is worse than Al Jazeera or Pravda in its heyday

[louise12345]

@MickBelcker - Oh your SO right! People freely expressing their opinions SHOULD be BANISHED from our countries airwaves!! Long live FREEDOM!

[JACKtheRIPP3R189]

@MickBelcker Quit being such a bitch, americans talk shit about europeans as being snobs and prissy. It's just idle banter

[oldtiedyeman]

If they would have had just ONE more car...

[yetigoose]

@scorzeny45

You called?

[scorzeny45]

stupid leftwing liberal idiot brit.

[Maxshard]

@scorzeny45 The entire BBC are left wing liberal idiots.

[MIKCURIE]

@Maxshard why

[Maxshard]

@MIKCURIE

Why? Ask the BBC. If you would care to elaborate on your question, or are unable to see what a politically biased, gender biased (anti-male) and racially dismissive of the British people in favour of a 'multi-cultural' society for no other reason than the sake of it, left wing marxist organisation the BBC is, then I probably couldn't help you with any answer, either because you can't see the anti white male bias in soap operas and dramas or because you are this way inclined too.

[MIKCURIE]

wtf are you talking about...elaborate...I do love the CBC as well by the way

[ohhrichie]

OMG DAVID SOUL just has something about him.

[TheBoocool]

he looked so cute when he was younger but he looks good for his age now

[idak12]

Jeremy is right about American cars they are rubbish and so are there Motorbikes

[ruwan591]

Shhhhhh!! they will come to you'r House and Destroy it...Saying you'r making Weapons of Mass Destruction! xD

[bullet50000]

i am american and i agree with you. We cant make crap.

[3linson]

cool

[funnygal200]

I think he still looks good and better then ever lately!

[imthekingoftheworld]

LOL!

[SakoTGrimes]

What a junk transmission.

[DandyGentlemanCaller]

Yes! Jeremy is wearing a Starsky sweater!

[deannaegner]

David Soul....I'd do him!

[DERedhead65]

I STILL think David is Gorgeous... I had a HUGE crush on him "back in the day"... he COVERED my walls... "brings back memories"... HOT HOT HOT!

[XIStEw13IX]

what does he mean americans never made nice cars. dont they have american vintage muscle cars in europe? i do have to agree though that ever since the eighty's american cars have turned to crap.

[artemownedme]

are you fucking stoned Jeremy Clarkson is a fucking legend... "typical british jerk!" i loled sooo hard.

[LilDarlingxx]

Jermy is only on that show because he can't get a better gig elswhere.

He's a typical cynical outspoken negative jerk.

[chintufellow]

mate your opinioni is respected ...but jeremy makes top gear wht it is...

hes a great journalist and a automotive commentator

[LilDarlingxx]

Jeremy could only hope to have a career like David's in his life time.

[paice95]

just like you only you are 10000000000000 times worse.

[LilDarlingxx]

Oh look it's ol' curley nuts again.

The cynical idiot snob. Can't he find a better career after being on tv this long?

[LilDarlingxx]

David Soul is also British. British-American. His Father was born in the UK dumbass. That's why he visits the UK to see family. You people know so little don't you?

[artemownedme]

wtf? i didn't even fucking talk about david soul you dick... and hear we don't say we're british. we're english welsh or scottish....

[LilDarlingxx]

Brit, English, Welsh Scot whateva who cares. i certainly don't

[hregfroop]

ENGLISH

[innocentconvict]

youre an idiot.

[manabhai]

it was fun listening to british and american accent AHAHAHHA!!!

[funnygal200]

Great interview! He's always so enjoyable to watch in interviews. LOL on the corvette story. Thx for posting! Also, he looks just fine!

[leoo1313]

I love David, he's a good sport and a sweel guy.

[leoo1313]

the corvett story was AWESOME!!!

That's my kind of Guy!!!!!

[phreak761]

Christ, first top gear video where the comments have turned into some womens fantasy stories rather than arguments over which country makes the best cars.

[CDTbossy]

Typical Clarcson, dizzin' american cars! What should you say about the ones David drove? LOL I know David broke those gearboxes on purpose.

Starsky and Hutch are the best cop show ever! David looks really good, wonder which cars he drives

[heavenlygrl]

Wow! Some of us age more gracefully than others! Still, I remember loving David Soul/Hutch and loving his show...

[BeckhamBoston]

Wow. I wouldn't have even guessed this was Hutch! Starsky looks exactly the same but Hutch looks so much different. Getting old sucks!

[553liz]

He sure is so much different now. He's 65 years old. I couldn't recognized him since he was young and he is very remarkable man who sings so many songs. I love it!! He has beautiful voice with pure and passion with all the songs. Wishes he could sings now. He's wonderful.

[lalbruiz]

Amazed to hear they were actually driving and doing everything while filming some scenes, nowadays actors get so pampered they wouldn´t even dare to let them drive in even a mildly dangerous scene, maybe due to insurance. Great to see David Soul here, doesn´t seem that he has aged much, hope that when I get old I don´t deteriorate much, ha, ha...Great segment.

[chocolatcats]

and he's single ladies

[phillybabe1227]

David has been my beautiful blond obsession since the first time I saw him in 1968 when I was just a young girl. And 40 years later I am still madly in love with this man. He has the most beautiful blue eyes and that voice - whether he is talking or singing - I could lose myself in that voice. It is SOOO sexy. For a man of 65, he is as delicious now as he was then.

I loved him then, love him now, and will love him FOREVER!

Now thats a crush!

[5291970]

Me too!! I saw him on stage in Mack & Mable in 2006 and met him later that year. Oh my god, too look into his eyes, I was shaking so badly I needed help down a flight of stairs. He so sexy!!!

[0773heidi]

that was a great interview i agree hes still lovely

[frankzito1]

He's got alot of soul!

[showersapril1]

I think I really i'm in love with david soul I don't care if he's white and 25 years older then me.

[connieutube]

He was gorgeous in the 70's and still is

[checkoutmyprofile]

Happy Bithday David Soul :)

[stickym12]

i love his voice. i coould listen to it all the time lol

[ssgeisha]

Your absolutely right. His eyes are beautiful but it's his voice that takes me back to those amazing times.

[rosbif76]

Actually he is in his mid 60s and I think he's lovely! Yum!

[Daygon2]

OMG, that is a horrid cardigan

[miimz90]

lets not forget about AFRICA!!!!

[groovee1]

how the hell did muslims get into this topic?  This is top gear for Christ's sake! David Soul is a good actor who's been in some classic stuff (Starsky and hutch - Salems lot) It's about putting him in an average car and seeing how he does! His looks nor nationality (or muslims) should even be mentioned!

[jorikrademakers]

think he still looks pretty good for his age, ill be happy to look like that when im almost 50, and looks like a nice person

[otterhead44]

he lives in britain , i think. smart man

[Joska75]

When was this on Tv?

[68NYC]

Hmmm...

Interesing.

Thanks!!

[hawkeye4ever]

He wrecked two cars!!!!! Americans just can't drive! hahah! Being a Brit now, he should practice a bit more and come back to the show. I love David. He is great...

[westfield90]

David Soul clearly has not aged well. He looks terrible.

[marklovell1965]

well he is over 60....

[westfield90]

That's True but Paul Michael Glaser looks really good and Paul McCartney who is over 60 looks great too. I think David had too much of the hard life - marriages, drinking etc

[bonanzafanmilou]

He looks a lot better now than he did then - he doesnt look sad or tired anymore. He looks happier :) And I don't care that he's a year younger than my father - I LUV HIM! *L*

[homadonna]

haha that had to be one of the best interviews yet

[ststephens97]

america is the best country in the world by a long stretch, theyve got it right on crime, immigration etc etc and their cars are great to! i'm british and britain is shit place unless your a freeloader

[Dukeboychn320]

HELLZ YA!!!!!!!!

[crackerzot]

I've only seen Top Gear a handful of times and without fail, Jeremy makes it a point to bash either America or Americans. This droll schtick is getting old. I've owned British cars and I've owned American cars. I'm selling the Jag and buying a 2008 Cadillac CTS to park next to the Corvette. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Jeremy.

[ultramarine13]

Jeremy certainly has it in for Americans, but it's the fault of Americans for their actions putting themselves in that position. And in terms of quality/design, I've driven plenty of American cars, and the criticisms leveled at them are by and large true. Why do you think that American car companies are in such bad shape right now, even in America?

[nascrat17]

Don't like the USA???.....Delta is ready when you are!!!!

[ultramarine13]

There are a lot of things wrong with America right now. The educational system leaves people out, the health care system is inefficient, people take on too much debt, and corporate America has become a malevolent behemoth. America was founded on progressive ideals and remained one of the best countries, in a lot of ways, up until the '70s or so.

[egh007]

its called economy.

[ultramarine13]

And what is that supposed to mean?

[ultramarine13]

Since then, things have been going downhill. Look at how things like the Iraq invasion are handled. America has strayed from it's roots, and I for one hope that Americans "see the light" and start changing things.

[VincentValentine678]

I think that some of the americans can no longer see the light because they are buried under tons of sin. They have done horrible things to muslims and its very horrible... For example: imagine your head being slithered/cut while you are still breathing... thats what they did..........

[otterhead44]

the world is a mess you 2 get over yourselves

[HTHAMMACK1]

@ultramarine13 You are completely full of BS. Americans have sided with Muslims far more often than not. Remember the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan? What about the Kosovo Albanians.

Besides, I'll bring up the British Empire and shut you up right quick like.

[CaptainSteve0112]

should be is after finger

[otterhead44]

the world is a mess you 2 get over yourselves

[HTHAMMACK1]

@VincentValentine678 Those were Muslims you ignorant sack of shit. As for being buried under a mountain of sin, you Eurotwats have been buried under a far bigger pile of sin than we. You buffoons were committing atrocities before we even existed. So I'd suggest you check yourself dumbass. Or do I need to bring up the British empire.

[HTHAMMACK1]

@ultramarine13 I for one hope you will shut the hell up. The last thing we need is to be lectured by some idiotic Euroweenie.

[ultramarine13]

@HTHAMMACK1, if you took two seconds to check my profile, you would realize that I am an American like you. However, you are frankly a shining example of why I consider the majority of the rest of the world to be far more worthwhile in terms of intellectual integrity and curiosity than virtually all Americans. Because, like most Americans, you speak in broad generalizations and simply attack those perceived as different, instead of criticizing the structure and content of an argument.

[ultramarine13]

@HTHAMMACK1 In addition, you very quickly identified yourself as being a false patriot, by which I mean someone who holds up a flag and declares "We are perfect and cannot be criticized" every time someone points out a fault with your beloved country. So I suggest you stop and think next time you are tempted to spout rubbish, although I sincerely doubt that will stop you...

[wordonthestreet2006]

This is just brilliant!

[firefoxxxii01]

NUOVO: Americani possono giocare a poker su Doylesroom com! Doylesroom com è una sala poker molto ben organizzata, dove molti star del mondo di poker giocano - come per esempio Doyle Brunson - ma anche altre stelle come Pamela Anderson o Nicky Hilton si divertono lì! Allora il mio consiglio d´esperto - registratevi con il "Promo Code" ONEWISH e vi aspetta una bella sropresa!

[paddy9i99]

David Soul is a top bloke!

[hozzyboy]

He probably broke two gearbox's because he's driving on the opposite side that he's used to. I know I would have a heck of a time getting used to shifting with my left hand.

[darkrx777]

haahaha look at that nana sweater!

[golqmpraz]

I had the honor to meet David Soul, He is a great man

[collettestevie]

What a thrill! I met him back in 1989 while vacationing in Hawaii.

[videocrash]

Right! American cars rule!

[wishbear28]

I love how you start off with "U Americans", such hatred is why the world is the way it is, along with your generalization of a whole country as morons. I hope you never need this country to defend you.

[EA11RDrift]

Two things are very, very wrong with your argument: The United States and Britain are allies, so the yanks will defend them if needed; and I honestly don't think you have enough influence to decide whether or not America will defend Britain. You're ignorant, self-important, presumptuous, and so lazy that you couldn't spare the time to fully spell out a three-letter word. It is people like you that make me want to move from America to Britain.

[wishbear28]

Go ahead and move - it was stupid for a person to generalize all Americans that they all drive automatic. That was the original point of this. And your name calling just confirms your stupidity.

[wishbear28]

By the way, the reference to this country defending someone was not made to a UK poster - if you can read, you would have seen that I wasn't talking about defending the UK.

[westfield90]

He was so handsome and he certainly has not aged well

[bermuge]

The sweater......hmm

[PatrickDerner]

Stupid Yanks. lasy as they are, allways drive automatic transmission, never manual transmission. thats why he broke 2 gearboxes.

[wishbear28]

Talk about stupid, why don't you guys stop driving on the wrong side of the road? I'd like to see you come to LA and drive on the freeway, then we'll see who's a moron. Bet you couldn't do it.

[PatrickDerner]

I'm swedish and we dirive on the same side pf the rodad as u. so it is u americans that are lasy. learn to drive!

[EA11RDrift]

Who's to say which side of the road is actually correct and which one is incorrect? It's just different systems that have developed for different countries. But if you do actually have a reason, please do post it up.

[cikaris]

Soul later told Jeremy that he broke those gearboxes because he is accustomed to sitting on the left side of the car and shifting with his right hand, combined with the fact that he is right-handed and the gear change pattern was reversed for him explains everything. P.S. Yanks don't always drive automatics. Now who looks stupid?

[52162]

is the JK interview up on here? wanna see that one!

[EdZep123]

They should have mentioned Salem's Lot!

[kurac3000]

americans can't drive for shit!

[istandalonetoo]

But we sure can live - "Drive 130, 140 mph stark naked"

[kurac3000]

it's not fun without corners, it's boring actually

[millamokalbo]

his wearing the ultimate " eskimo" suite

[Bourbons3]

"We must save up and have you again" lol

[lee1ccx1cee]

what was the top gear logo for at around 4 mins for

[apban]

but you know what. I bet Clarkson actually owns that cardie

[scottpea]

WOW the BBC really responds to comments.

they should put up full shows tho.

[75goodies]

Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky) wore that cardie in the show. Hutch wore like leather jackets and polo necks.

[mrbret]

You muct be young. He is wearing the same kind of thing that David's partner wore in Starsky & Hutch in the 70's

[marco19911991]

no idea but its soooooo style... (joke)

good video

[Aoife1]

What in the world is jeremy WEARING!!!!????

[BBCWorldwide]

It's a cardigan in the style that used to be worn in the show Starsky and Hutch in the 70's.

Regards,

BBCWorldwide
