In this episode, the trio finds out whether the TVR Tamora can beat its rival, the Porsche Boxster S. Mike sends Bill Thomas and Ben Barry to grab as much shitboxes for 300 quid for pallet racing, and Jason lets the audience do the "Welcome to Driven" handbrake turn for a Porsche 924.
Also on the episode, Auto Sumo continues and some new cars are previewed.
Unfortunately, no segments of the Alex Sibley with the Austin Princess, but Mike at least provides an archive film of the beige Leyland Princess (with a brown, vinyl roof) taking a family on a holiday.
As for the in-car crooning competition, this episode's chosen song was Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head" - chosen because of Kylie promoting previously the Ford StreetKa on the 2002 Paris Motor Show.
And as an extra, this episode also features the adverts that aired at the time, as well as the DirectLine Rescue promos in the middle. Sadly, I don't know what car might've been on the Picky Hitcher segment as I haven't found the picky hitcher segment for this episode, but if you do know what car it was, please get in touch with me: rev@tgcomplete.com
Massive thanks to:
- @1stDash (widescreen bits, wasn't perfect due to the interlacing but had stereo audio to some degree and had to have its aspect ratio fixed)
- @matterofapinion (pallet racing segment, cut out from the widescreen recording)
- @assortedvideos4899 (adverts & part 2, I didn't want to use the widescreen bits because they were in poor shape compared to the LP stereo 50fps 14:9 incomplete recording)
And I'd like to dedicate this full episode to @1stDash whose wife (Nikki) was the one who won the Porsche while scaring the camera crew, the sound recordists and Plato in the process. What she's done is write herself into Driven's history, despite that show living in its darkest days by that point. The original widescreen bits can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=xGlEVwBrwjQ - this also has the behind-the-scenes stuff in the description which is very worth a read from all of you :)
Adverts:
- Ford Fusion (what's it for?; "It's out there")
- IBM ("Play the web")
Channel 4 continuity:
- "A Clockwork Orange" (Filmfour)
