BBC: Jennifer Saunders Interview & Lap, Fastest Woman Ever! - Top Gear

[TopSpeed23]

a testament to Clarkson for getting ANY information out of her. He basically grilled her with questions since she volunteered nothing extra, without making himself look like a police sergeant.

also props to her driving. dang.

[Ypipable]

140 6.1 Joy.

[whosjanedoe]

She is amazing.

[abaigealduda]

Truly amazing woman. Historically, female comics in U.S. films intimated "the boys," (they didn't usually "get the man"). I don't know where things are today, to be honest. I just really appreciate Saunders' (and the show's) ability to appreciate one particular woman's broad interests, peccadilloes, and skills - including her automotive driving skills. Not to mention her intelligence and success! Nice to see one woman's competitive nature in a positive light.

[karverisxfu]

Great video!

I know this has nothing to do with cars, but can anyone tell me what the plane is in the background at 6:58? It looks as though it's wearing D-Day stripes, but other than that it's going too quickly for me to tell what plane it actually is. Thanks!

[mportusable]

I'd say it's a Douglas DC3 (C47).

[jack13666]

it looks like an old c-47 (military variant of the dc-3)

[brezneve]

It looks like a Dakota DC-3

[Suprahampton]

What a remarkable woman, top comic, witty & inteligent, gorgeous & can drive like a legend... what could be better?!

[amesguy515]

She's pretty hot for 50.

[lionman684]

What about the old Top Gear?

[rennyminou]

Did Phil Collins ever participate in TG?

[clairemjen]

jouissif...c juste jouissif...Jen t vmt une bombe atomik...

[dickkwikkwek]

Hahhahahahahaha 2:30 "...with people like him"

[Vuurvogel2]

Is it me, or is there something there between Jennifer and Jezza? Looks like it, it's hard to put my finger on it, but there you go.

[zamalek900]

rich bitch !

[firstdutch]

jenny  du bist klasse !!

[Maltezer100]

there standing hot in the tags. lol

[jcgalad]

Her girls must have been terribly proud! I don't say very proud because that's how they feel normally, I guess.

[Vuurvogel2]

What a beautiful laugh she has...

[Pureownage1]

Mhm... HUHUHUHUHUH.

[yambo59]

Damn-!! - Just when I thought I was over my lust for this woman, she turns out to know cars and how to drive them - What the hell am I going to do now? - She wont send me her bathwater (I already asked) lol-! Seriously, I once wrote her a killer fan letter and she sent me an autographed photo and a brief letter signed by her - I was amazed to get anything at all. she definitely has an incomperably stately, sultry english quality that just makes you want to have her for dinner and desert-!! :)

[zuss10r]

Your restraining order is in the mail;)) LOL

[yambo59]

What can I say, theres lots of hot women here in the US, but Jennifer has a personal quality that ive never come across anywhere. I dont see how she keeps her clothes from just going up in smoke- I suppose I am an over zealous fan, but trust me I am holding back - she has no idea what a perfectly obedient servant I would make. ive only ran across two women in my life that made me so stupid, the other is Laura Prepon from "that 70's show"- I'd crawl 5 miles through broken glass for either.

[yambo59]

Oh I definitely know who she is-!! Jennifer Saunders is one of the classiest and hottest looking british women ever-! I watched her show Ab Fab religiously for years, it was a huge comedy hit and friggin' hilarious!! She both wrote and acted in it, that takes a lot of drive to perform under those conditions for that long-- not to mention the awards ceremonies and countless interviews & appearances all at the same time. I knew she was competitive and that smokin' lap really showed it.

[gullivera]

She is nice, I always thought she was hot.

Are you familiar with her and Dawn's earlier work? You should check out "The Comic Strip Presents", which is where her and all that group (Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson, Peter Richardson etc) started out, there are some episodes where she is ridiculously hot!

[strummer1189]

good god that woman is hot!!!

shes hilarious and she knows her cars.......is there anything hotter than that???

what a legend :D

[STNfortyfour]

God she's sexy

[adokenk3nnbasil]

yupp

[123456sat123456]

sshhhit!!!

[duggers108]

whos the fastest now?

[kristina31641]

simon cowell

[boscosbollocks]

its jay k

[TomahawkMissile]

Jay Kay in the Lacetti

[godseesnocolour]

Eddy!! "Is that You Eddy!!"

[seabady]

Love her and I'm from America. She is stunning and fabulous.

[sophiesgem]

Who the fuck is she!!! - From Canada, well nough said!, Do you know Celine Dion?, and if you dont know about Europe, why comment?

[dcorby23]

And the show is also popular throughout the Europe, too. We may not recognize all the British celebrities (though, most we do) but we do know all the cars ;)

[tamie00]

Its a British show made for a British television audience who are extremely likely to recognise British celebrities and European cars. Jennifer Saunders is decently big enough in America that lot Americans would recognise her, you've just been living under a rock.

[durner1]

dont watch british shows if you dont like it , fucking bell end

[FlowingGeisha]

Do you realize that there are other aspects of the shows that I like? Do you realize that cursing doesn't have to happen all the time?

[MinervaAshford]

it's a british show! Logic no?

[FlowingGeisha]

British people don't need to swear more frequently than the average Irish person.

[shivkite770]

That doesn't make a bit of sense

[FlowingGeisha]

Well it makes sense to me.

[mrpenthouse]

she's a good driver :)

[xarcherx987]

For a 50 year old, she is absolutely stunning.

[mykarmaisdogma]

I love you!

[spudlington]

77,777th viewer! I rock! (randomly)

[JayRicci7891]

Jennifer: "I love Bristols!"

Clarkson: "Why?!"

Jennifer: "Because its quite a good joke...!" lmfao

There is nothing sexier than a woman with a sense of humour, Jennifer is still looking hot too!

[pooupyournose]

thats kind of unfair if she gets to do it again...

[tamie00]

No more unfair then letting Jay Kay do 16 laps to get a time faster that Simon Cowell. LOL

[oddzNenz]

Two people a love a lot :].

This is so epic I lovee it.

[lovejensaunders]

i love jen she did amazing her face was really sweet when she found out she was 2nd she so has to so back and do it a gain and come first!!!

[TorvillandDean4eva]

go back Jen and show the boys how its done! x

[JessHib1981]

We really should rally so she does this again.....she can so beat the boys! Rock on Jen!

[Charmredux]

''Can't let the girls down...''

Very sweet, but fierce haha!

[aggehansson]

I'm pretty sure she doesn't.

[jazzigod]

i love her so much

[random123numbers831]

she's so funny!

[revolutions88]

she is gorgeous i love her xxxx

[Suprahampton]

I think this is the first time a husband & wife have both been on TG... cause Ade was on Top Gear of the pops.

[Matt1yu]

That ALMOST worked. :P Nice attempt.

[yourforte]

Fantastic..

[GDGspire]

Is it just me, or is Jen still amazingly hot even in her forties?

[Suprahampton]

It's NOT you... she's the defination of "Foxy Lady"

[Flap999]

Correct you are! She's still hot.

[Fonzie19901993]

She was 48 or 49 in this. She is nearly 51 now.

[Oceanicflight815]

I LOOOOVE Her.

[warwolf193]

huge fan of french and saunders and top gear. good video

[BetweenThaLines]

awesome! I had no idea she was such a good driver!!:O Go girl!

[vickivain]

Shame she does so few interviews...and to waste such a rare occasion with THIS idiot ...

[FalkenTube]

mmm...women who know cars turn me on.  women who own great cars turn me on. A Woman who knows cars, owns great cars and can drive the hell out of them...she's easily twice my age but what a MILF!

[morgyb29]

jennifer saunders has got better looking as she has got older when she was young she was quite goofy looking but she is 50 here and looks GREAT!! esp for someone who hasnt made there fame as a beauty or glamourpuss. she looks so natural all those women who try really hard to look young must be sick. have always loved french and saunders one of our national treasures x

[paintedbird]

This is great! Love Jen and love Top Gear. She did a great job on her time.

[jotomas2]

I have always enjoyed Jens work but after this I might be in love! Jen, if you ever get tired of Ade, how about a younger American guy? LOL

[novarock86]

Woohoo, go Jen!

[Suprahampton]

I think this is the only occasion where the phrase "im jealous of Adrian Edmondson" can be said with meaning.... jammy git's married to her

[caitlinniamh]

What a moment! Im a huge Top Gear fan and a huge Jennifer Saunders fan so put them both together and Im over the moon! Im seeing French and Saunders in July and am soooo excited! They are the funniest people on the TV and I bet their great live. I missed

Top Gear when they came to Australia as they only played in Sydney and Im in Melbourne. I was devistated! Come to Melbourne boys! Youll love us and our wonderful state!!!

[DSparamus]

What an incredible time!!

[saravaci]

Fucking Awesome! Jennifer is Legendery!

[KingpinHead]

She is absolutely fantastic. I was so annoyed to find that they had cut out her segment from the BBC America version of Top Gear. Why? I could watch her segment over and over. Maybe even an entire Top Gear episode about her!

[argentfemme]

She's sooooo damn sexy!

[Jdigouille]

Absolutely Fabulous :-p

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Jennifer Saunders!

[philbabe]

wow, she's good. =D

[mklee176]

She's fucking hot!!!!! Total MILF!!!!

[chilipeppered101]

I wanted her to beat Simon Cowell so much!

[lotrorulez]

Don't tell me I'm the only one who laughed at Clarkson announcing "I've got a little one" :P

[Luke0Sinclair]

Ha ha yeah :P

[mineowyn]

whoa second only to Cowell. How the hell did he end up on top of the list anyway?

[burnout21]

Simon Cowell is really short. Less weight?

[boguslaav]

not as much as Jen:)

[EnglishG3nt]

Oh how I love Top Gear.

[dannywynmod]

shes really fucking hot!!

[texasoilfields]

she's lovely. ade's a lucky man

[sophiestar93]

Jennifer Saunders is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS ! ! !

[kagome312411]

146.1!!!!!!!! damn jen ur good!

[yella806]

i think this is the most relaxed i've ever seen jennifer saunders during an interview!

[opossum765]

omg. she likes cars!! Now, I like Jennifer Saunders even more!! I hope she beats Simon Cowell!! :)

[CynicalHippie]

It's so funny watching this and then watching the Ab Fab episode 'Poor' where Jen as Eddie drives her gorgeous Alfa to the supermarket. Jen is amazing!

[1jag9]

absolutely agree... a total milf hehehe

[gunlodge]

milf.

[davidc2570]

she rarely does interviews so i'd guess she turned up for this because she knew she would do well at it. she wouldn't turn up if she thought she'd be crap now would she?

[absolutelyfabulousJS]

she is so amazing xx

[DeV1L08]

i love this show!!!!!

[Hellooo06]

I remember you. It seems no one likes you, do they?

[WKaliber1]

Blue moon, you starting singing too soon, You thought the good times were back, Now Sparky's getting the sack.

Manchester Citeh 0 - 3Nottingham F.

[Lindeman08]

She seems like such a great person and that was some awesome driving

[gutterpunk6292]

God I LOVE Jen!!! How amazing is she!!! When I met her..wooo best day of my life!!! x

[RdtheLiterature]

[RdtheLiterature]

[RdtheLiterature]

[DJTouche]

There's always one cunt like you on any comments page.

[flameout12345]

She is good... see how she took those corners.

[lucie776]

jennifer is soooo amazing and talented. she can do literally everything!! from acting, being funny to singing, and a great driver. best celebrity, and proud she lives near me! wooo xxxxxx

[SunshynMaker]

ledge!

[kbrinks]

that was THE CLEANEST lap i've seen on top gear. great driving!

[CrysTELLE12]

1.46.1 Go Jen. sigh of relief at 8.06

[sannreeves]

i think sometimes she looks like meryl streep

[J3NiiC]

FUCKING LEGEND!

[5335816]

Is there nothing this woman can't do!

[zthechainz]

Jennifer Saunders is my favourite celebrity.

[roz693]

I LOVe this woman so bloody much. Saw F&S live few days ago and cried like 5 times.

[IrishEyes1989]

^ I saw the show in London as well..twice :D So amazing..I got to meet them afterwards and Jen is the biggest sweetheart EVER. She's just such a gem.

[christentze]

ahhhhhhhh!  i fuckin love jennifer!

[WomanInYellow]

I bloody LOVE Jennifer Saunders!!!!

[hollymell]

jay kay has the fastest he went back on especially to beat simon and did.

[reaceuk86]

she kinda looks like a older version of abi timuss lol ? anyone agree

[ScarletWinters]

why the references to simon cowell?

[roobug21301]

if i am not mistaken, Simon has the fastest lap time. that's why they mentioned him

[marushka01]

I've always loved Saunders, but why does she need so many cars? not very environmentaly friendly... am quite dissapointed. still, she is an amazing comedian :)

[Sophieandhearts]

She looks too good for her age, but if she has had surgery, (which i don't think she has) it is really fantastic surgey. I think she just looks so good because of her bone structure. And she's half French. French women are stunning.

[MinervaAshford]

she is??

[boguslaav]

she's totally hot!

[fullmetalmc]

GILF?

[BlackManWithAnime]

GILF? Girl? What is the G???

[sneyder69]

is there a fanclub of her ?

[IrishEyes1989]

^ Oh mate, you have NO idea... Jen's an absolute goddess.

[saundersophile]

There certainly is! Google Devoted To Jennifer Saunders, it'll lead you there ;)

[td2gether4ever]

Awesome job , she's been practicing with the Porche it seems.lol

[lawrencelugar]

She won me over when she said she owns a Porsche 911...

But lost me when she said Carrera, than won me over again when she had the 2-wheel drive version, vs the 4-wheel.

[iluvmorrissey]

Nice one

[gospelsouth]

She burned that track UP! Awesome!

[zman76]

Totally love the original Alfa Romeo Spider, but the 916-series that replaced it was so bloody ugly. Luckily they didn't get another toddler to design the new Spider.

[SunnyBeachGirl82]

Jennifer is absolutely AMAZING. It was a fantastic interview and she did such a great job on the track!! I wish she would go back and do it again!!! I think she should definitely be in first place :)

[antonio22edu]

I think that Jezza loves her as a friend and guest.Jezza is Clarkson,that is like his call name like he calls hammond hamster.

[ChristinaEmery]

haha i love this interview. its mint

has any one got the kristin scot thomas interview?

that one always makes me laugh

if you do then please upload it =]

[lebasilah]

Jennifer is amazing. <3

[ryallen32]

Hammond!! lol

[juhanwill]

what if her childrens read this comment, rather irritating indeed.

[fazybear85]

At 8:45-ish she was just glancing at the monitor. A reflexion probably caught her attention.

[LH287]

Great clip, and one fast lap, but how much surgery has she had on her face????

[Nat4Brendan]

She hasn't had any. :)

[Kaytea123]

how does she luk like shes had surgery? shes probly one of the few celebs who hasnt haha!

[LH287]

Look at her upper Lip and tell me it's always been like that,,, look at her cheeks...

[novarock86]

It's always been like that. It's from flute playing apparently.

[LH287]

Is that so??? I'll take it back in that case...

[novarock86]

I didn't know that either untill I saw her mentioning it in an interview (Parkinson I think). Up untill then I always just thought her upper lip looked kinda funny.

[pinkieer]

She's always had a stiff upper lip--it's just part of her accent and way she speaks. Definitely no work done.

[edwina88]

on the site of topgear, you can find a lot of other celeb tracks..

[antonio22edu]

She nearly beat codpiece cowell

[edwina88]

saw joanna lumley's lap just now and that one was also fantastic, specially because she speaks so soft and in the car she became suddenly patsy at some moments
