Can I just say that I work at Norwich Airport and I was there when it was being filmed. It was an early morning start for the stunt, about 0600. There is no way that could happen in real life, the CAA wouldn't let it go ahead unless it was in a controlled environment. Of course we all got tickets to a top gear show so we didn't mind them filming there at all. Plus you know it was a stunt being the air traffic controller said "you are entering an are of intense traffic!" What a lie!
@w00xer I think that the official explanation as to the 'how does he even dare to fly' part is that he's too busy fiddling with the controls to actually remember that he's flying at all.
The reason why Top Gear is popular is A: It's owned by BBC, they own loads of channels, B: They've got there own videos on Youtube C: You can find them on websites like TopGear.com or Facebook etc D: They have books and finally E: They have loads of fans all over the world like me who watches it everyday
You will be surprised how many times this happens... Especially with hot air balloons. The BBC was probably fined for what happened by overall there would be no criminal charges because at the end of the day there was no malicious intent for harm and with Air Ships there isn't anything the pilot can do to change their movements really.
i'm sure BBC had all the filming permits, plus i'm sure there's some editing going on to make it all seem like one flight, when it was probably multiple flights.... and then again, this isn't america. people are much more relaxed in the uk.
@dowling1981 What do you mean violent? There is no blood. No guts. No Desert Eagles. Just a toff, his jumper and his caravan trying to miss a couple of Boeings.
This is clearly staged, a fake 'incident' at the airport. Anyone with close knowledge of broadcast cameras, lenses and filming angles can spot the trickery. A total fake, a set-up of expensive mistruths. What a shame BBC.

These staged scenes are getting ever increasingly stupid. As if they need to top their previous "stunts". Most of us really enjoy watching the evaluation and testing of new cars and the brutal honesty from clarkson, but this... it's out of control and sense
The bit where he crashed wasn't staged by the way, it was in the news several months ago that james may crashed into the trees after a failed landing XD
look, what happens if you don't stage things? it loses a major part of its humour. what happens when that happens? it becomes *cough*fifth gear. what happens when it becomes fifth gear? you lose all hope in life. what happens when you lose all hope in life? you phone in to try win a car from fifth gear.

This is one thing they will never do in TG US. If they see a caravan over an airport they will send F-15s to take in down.
