Reliant Robin as Space Shuttle Part Two

[pterobsven]

Greatest episode of Top Gear ever

[Jeneral28]

love the music they chose. Battle of Britain, Magnificant Seven, You only live twice

[raptormaster666]

Apart from the main event, My favourite bit was James poking his metal detector at the bulldozer.

Hammond= You've found my JCB.

[Pezhetairoi]

Fact: This was the greatest non comercial rocket launch in Europe, no joke...

TG i love you

[dasje40]

james: thats why.......

hammond: how we gotta use it again?!

master!

[superkryp13]

what is the tune at 2:20 and what is the tune at 4:59???

[samosammo123]

@superkryp13

The tune at 2:20 is the Battle of Britian theme by Ron Goodwin

[Destructor111]

Well, the explosion at the end is just clever editting, but this was still an absolute triumph for Top Gear. If they really did this in two weeks, as they claim, then is certainly shows what you can do when you pull out all the stops and make safety a tertiary concern on a limited budget.

I say limited budget... for a SPACE PROGRAMME it's a limited budget, I shudder to think how Top Gear compares to other TV show's budgets.

Still, commercial space companies... take note!

[buckwheatB87]

4:34

if you just think about that scene with out them talking about the Reliant Orbiter its pretty gay lolol

[snippymushroom]

the british space program

[gtahoer]

i did that once with chuck norris

he wazzent to happy with it

[MrCookieSeller]

haha love it when they say the place is "TOP SECRET" and theylle give the name where it is xD

[holamellamanloco]

top gear has definitely a huge budget...

[3321Gamer]

top gear rules

[namas000]

they should try it again with a caravan.

[UKPatriotsFan]

"You Spanner"

[AHickenUK]

Still a few years on I'm amazed that they accomplished something like this, purely amazing :D

[operationcwaI789789]

Still, achieving separation is a big accomplishment

[blank10123]

top gear used to be so good, its now gone downhill with boring episodes like the last series :( (except the bolivia special)

[maggotspeacy]

that lift off was incredible for top gear to have organized wow now imagine if u will wot wud have happened if jezza was involved haha

[starlionblue]

@maggotspeacy LOL!! Jezza would be fighting Capt. Slow every step of the way!! He'd accuse both him and Hammster of lacking style and would demand something else be used. Then, they'd fight over the engine design. Then, he'll bankrupt them by blowing the budget on unnecessary things. Finally, the other two will murder him out of pure frustration because, at the rate he's going, the shuttle will never be built! Good thing they kept Jezza out of the project!!

[bovisparvifluminulum]

Lol @ 6:49.

That's NOS!

[9skater2009]

@bovisparvifluminulum LOL INITM LOL

[Shiek927]

We could almost hear Jeremy preparing some intergalactic smugness

XDXDXDXD

[gaho91]

This is one of the best top gear episodes i have ever seen- the preparation must have been immense- my favorite part is the You Only Live Twice song around 3:40- this is the same song that is used when the "evil" space capsule captures the American Space Capsule in the movie-- great connection to this great episode--- thanks for posting

Kudos from Texas

[dreams2reality25]

Epic!

[Jeneral28]

This is the best Top Gear!

[Revaris]

what an AWESOME EPISODE, i just feel so gutted that they didn't pull it off because they were *soooo* close too!!!!

[risc19]

"Right , come on lads, lets get this robin p......"

What does James say there?

[warwolf193]

he was going to say something like "lets get this robin put onto the shuttle" but he burst out laughing lol

[Jeneral28]

I love the choice of music!!!

[quirpco]

How is Top Gear going to Top This??

[vk3pb]

By doing it successfully.

If at first you don't succeed... blow the BBC budget on another try!

[quirpco]

lol...well put!

[ricardo031981]

Best Top Gear stunt ever!

[WTFclips]

lol....how are you going to use it agen ???

[ZhakoT]

They should've have a manual seperate. But they nearly did it. An amazing feat =D

[TachieBillano]

A Robin Reliant space shuttle -- noooo!  ROTFLMAO!!!

[TachieBillano]

Ohh sorry...make that Reliant Robin. My mistake!

ANNOUNCER: 3, 2, 1...and LIFT-OFF! for the space shuttle Reliant, paving the way for the shuttles of tomorrow!

SHUTTLE COMMANDER: Houston, roll program. (Shuttle does a 180 degree turn in the air as it points itself on a course to the ISS, looking like a pig piggybacking on a sausage-shaped rocket in the process.)

HOUSTON LAUNCH SUPERVISOR: Roger, roll...Reliant....Robin. (Snickers are heard over the radio crackle.)

[MazdaRX7ASpec]

lol @ hamster's face at 8.40

[sergeantpencil]

must have cost a bloody fortune

[FutzAndTinker]

What kind of moron funds projects like this...what a bunch of goobers!

[paulthebassguy]

hahah! I think you forget the comedy value.

[pcw1995]

that's one small step-ladder! lol

[arielatilio]

abslutamente increible..

es muy dificil hacer un cohete!!

y casi funciona sino fuera por un simple error

de enganche..!! EXELENTE IGUAL!!

[Serialangel]

Fantastic! It almost worked, but I was so impressed by all the technology and how it hardly took any time and just...gah! Amazing

[Hamster1147]

@Serialangel It took alot longer then what you think.

[Ged7Manchester]

brilliant and the explosion at the end made it,

ps bows to the rocketeers

[UKrocketeer]

it didn't explode but it just crunched the video of the explosion is somewhere else

[denn3z]

[hr4lifeyo]

[tom2812]
