Jeremy Clarkson takes a hilarious look at how the future of motoring was imagined in the 1950s — and compares it with the disappointing reality that actually arrived by the year 2000. Featuring the incredible futuristic General Motors Firebird III, brutal criticism of bland modern cars, and Clarkson’s thoughts on why the motor industry stopped building exciting designs. This programme was originally produced by Watchmaker Television from 1998 to 2000, which later became part of the same production group behind Fifth Gear.

This programme contains language, attitudes, and themes reflective of its original broadcast, which some viewers may now consider outdated or inappropriate.
