I must admit, I was spellbound. Especially the flying SkyCar can is a reality!

This was far more enjoyable than comical Top Gear!

I watched the opening 20 minutes about the "flying" car as I'd seen the big Russian water based plane on a documentary television programme four or five years ago - still comes across as amazing.

Yes, I thought it was "really excellent". Saved on disk, I will probably save it for a rainy day to watch again.

The Caspian Sea Monster was on Equinox on channel 4 on 29 Sep 1998 - a mere ten years ago.

Time sure flies.

I too thought it was excellent and far better than Top Gear and his tedious Sat. Telegraph columns. I also liked Clarkson's documentary about an operation to destroy submarine pens in the last war. Again, much better than Top Gear.

I like the way he incorporated his catchphrase into his plane's reg.
