S10E01 Episode Information (October 7, 2007):

But first, this week. On Sunday night's show you'll see Jeremy drive the awesome Golf W12 - VW's 641bhp present to itself to celebrate the GTi's 30th anniversary. It's a great piece of film - so good that we nabbed an exclusive little promo video for you to watch before Sunday's show.

The big film involves the latest crop of Atkins-diet supercars and a hunt for the world's greatest driving roads. It's a two-parter with Jeremy falling in love all over again with the Gallardo Superlegerra, Richard chasing hard in bright green Porsche GT3 RS and James trapped miles behind in an airconless Aston N24 race car.

This week's star in our reasonably priced car is A-lister Dame Helen Mirren and we also see a welcome, if slightly scorched, return of the Cool Wall. If give away any more details, they won't let us in next week.

That was a one-off production, not officially part of seasons 9 or 10.

Here's the "official" listing for the first Season 10 ep (ripped from the Finalgear forums):

"In the first of a new series Jeremy, Richard and James drive three lightweight supercars across Europe in search of the best roads. Plus Jeremy finds out what happens when you put a Bentley engine into a VW Golf, and Dame Helen Mirren is the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car."

Sounds awesome!

the BBC transmits HD domesticly, and BBCAmerica is NTSC (480i). the 1080p you refer to was a poorly recoded copy of the 720p original.

 

[music]

Maybe it's because they're all English stars, and I don't know 95% of them, but the Star in a Car segment always sucks.

Yup "a Bugatti Veyron taking on a Typhoon Fighter Jet" I can't wait to see that after seeing James test drive the Veyron last season!

 

[johnjbruin]

Man - this season is going to be great.
