Beginning a new series in which Jeremy Clarkson explores the science and the appeal of rapid transit. The first episode in the series is titled "The Thrill of Speed".

Production code: LSFJ342R

Why do people react differently to high speeds? Clarkson talks to experts and thrill seekers and tests their opinions by boarding a Blackpool rollercoaster, joining a bobsleigh team and drag-boat racing in America.

Note: Unfortunately, due to the unique way the BBC is funded, the segment in which Jeremy rides a rollercoaster with his mother Shirley has been blocked, and therefore had to be cut from this upload (cut is at 10:12).
