Most people get tested for a manual gearbox because it means that you are allowed to drive both a manual and auto, whereas if you get tested in an auto, that’s all you’re legally allowed to drive unless you get re-tested in a manual

[@Matt__19]

A lot of people just learn auto these days in anticipation of electric cars being the most common.

[@Lonewolf_121]

​@@Matt__19I hear people say that a lot, but still havnt actually met anyone that is actually learning in an automatic

[@RandomShart]

@@Lonewolf_121 it's because it'll be 20 years before they can afford an electric vehicle 😉

[@low-key_genius]

​@@Lonewolf_121 Hello 👋🏻 I'm learning in an automatic. It's kind of like having the option of using a remote control to change the tv channels, but instead getting up to change it manually!

Love the reaction as usual but slightly disappointed in Brian for not knowing what das boot is I thought he was a history buff 😂

[@EthanBSide]

An epic movie

[@caiotefu9856]

I remember the fruit machine called Das Boot! Anybody else emember that?

[@garethm3242]

Haven't even started yet - but yeah this is unforgivable. I know Brian is into his WW2 history (or at least I thought he was)

[@AlphaGamer1981]

most of the cars here are in the uk are manual, we call it driving properly

[@BlackCountrySoul1]

Das Boot is mentioned several times throughout the whole series of Peep Show and it’s in reference to the WW2 film about a German U Boat. Mark has a particular fascination with it due to his interest in history.

[@spooony2714]

Cars are becoming more and more automatic, but a lot of poeple still prefer manual.

[@markkelly9621]

Das Boot, means "the boat" in German. There was a high regarded series about a German WW2 submarine crew called 'Das Boot'.

[@charlesquinn8860]

Yeah, either that or the Wolfgang Petersen movie LMAO

[@errbud]

Great film

[@watchreadplayretro]

@@charlesquinn8860 I can't believe I forked out for the Director's Cut of that movie running at 3h20m only to recently discover the longer 'cut' in the original series running at close to 5 hours :O The new remake in it's 4th season now (German but with English subs) is not too bad either, in fact two thumbs up from me!

[@AleX-ey5ej]

I want to congratulate Mr and Mrs Boomer for their little baby

[@IvorAllen-ik2cu]

Learning to drive an automatic is generally discouraged in the uk as it limits your options. My dad took the piss out of me when I suggested it. He called me a lazy arse and said, "Learn to drive properly!" 😂

[@louissanderson719]

Manual is more or less the default you learn in, in the UK unless you specifically want to learn in an auto. If you learn in an auto, I don’t think you can legally drive a manual. Unless you take a test in one

[@ddaddy1775]

95% of UK cars are manual. They're so easy to drive

[@Lones555]

70%

[@leewright8094]

90%

[@eadweard.]

Not relative to an automatic!

[@christopherneale823]

63% of stats are made up. Tons of new cars are automatic, especially high-end ones.

[@oli3437]

Most of the manual cars driven in the UK are for people who have migrated from other European countries. All the Eastern European people I know (mainly Polish) for example drive automatics. That's not a knock at them it's just car companies catering for their needs. Nothing wrong with that. I don't know any British person who has ever even taken a lesson in an automatic car. You have to take your test in a manual car and if you have migrated to the UK you most likely drive an automatic or if for some reason after you have taken your test they then decide to drive an automatic which I've never seen. In Britain we drive manual as God intended

[@spacebace]

Das Boot is a 1981 West German war film written and directed by Wolfgang Petersen, produced by Günter Rohrbach, and starring Jürgen Prochnow, Herbert Grönemeyer and Klaus Wennemann.

[@g13n79]

thanks imdb

[@StevenJDavies]

Das Boot (The Boat, I believe the transaction is) is an old war movie, based aboard a German U-boat. And manual drive is far more popular here than automatic (or driving for kids, as my girlfriend calls it... Her words, not mine).

[@IntoTheWhite04]

The vast majority of people learn to drive a manual. But automatic cars are starting to sell in bigger numbers than manual ones now. But that new cars and most new drivers buy second hand so.. basically yes, we all drive manuals. It's muscle memory after a while so is very easy

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

even most towns in UK u dont need to drive , UK is so condensed and even a small town has all the facilities needed within 3 miles radius , work play medical and shops

[@daniellinehan8467]

Can't wait to see the next season with them. I'm so sad, it's like goggle box, watching someone else reactions, we're all mental 😂

[@jonathanrees1071]

Its mostly all clutch (shift) here. More autos now than used to be mind.

[@61shirley]

I’ve been driving 20 years in England and never drive an automatic, never even thought about it to be honest.

[@problemchimp4231]

Love you two...look forward to your Peep Show stuff, probably more than Christmas...

[@ModernPict]

me too, its my fav that they react to

[@davidz3879]

They turned funf, zwei years ago!

[@jamestoni]

most are manual cars in uk. its hard to pass driving test in UK compared to America.

[@PadreDePato]

Cars are mostly manual here, which I prefer as I like to feel like I’m actively engaged in the driving experience

[@chrischarlescook]

I took an intensive driving course and it was actually pretty good. Started on a Sunday, passed my test 7 days later. 5 hours a day. I recommend (in the UK anyway) if you are looking to learn 👏

[@christopherclarke2083]

I don't personally know anyone who lacks the skill to operate a manual transmission. The reason automatic transmissions haven't become widely adopted in Europe is because they tend to result in larger, less fuel-efficient vehicles, which is not well-suited for Europe's narrow roads and costly fuel.

[@JoeWedgwood-ik9zo]

Pretty much everyone learns in a manual

[@keithc9461]

Love to The King and Queen Boomer ✌️most people in the UK take manual driving tests, but there is an option to take a automatic test but if you pass your test you can only drive autos, essentially 'go kart drivers'... Peace and love to all🙏

[@Gisborne1990]

like 99% of cars here are manual.

[@robhunt]

In Ireland and the UK the standard driving test is manual, if you have a manual license you can drive automatic but if you take a test in an automatic you're not licensed to drive manual

[@jesperjensen1160]

Same in Denmark

[@katherinedowling4246]

I thought Das Boot was this over serious German film about a submarine this is such a random program it goes from problematic to bizarre I love it thanks KB and QB sending you both lots of love ❤

[@JarlGrimmToys]

Boomer is thinking about an American movie called Beerfest. Where a group of Americans go to Germany to take part in an international beer drinking contest. But the beer drinking contest consists of playing American beer drinking games. Like you can’t take a drink until your opponent throws a ping pong ball into a red plastic cup. Then at the end they have a glass in the shape of a boot. They have to drink beer from, and they call it Das Boot. But yeah that’s a reference to German war film and the same film Peep Show is referencing.

[@joeasher2876]

Car sales are about 80% manual in the UK, in the US it's under 2% with over 98% autos.

[@garthmcguigan2357]

Another great reaction. On the manual/automatic thing; it used to be a real mark of dishonor if you drove an automatic, and I never met anyone who did the test for automatic only. However, in recent years there have been more automatics due to their better re-sale value. Most new cars are now automatic, so things are changing

[@Lones555]

UK still has 70% of cars on the road being manual. Automatic is getting more popular as the license for it is cheaper however you are then limiting your options as you can only drive automatics on that license where as a manual license lets you drive any car. I feel like automatics are even less common on mainland Europe so people with automatic only licenses may struggle to find a car they can drive if they rent one whilst overseas.

[@MarkLord-ft7mg]

Automatic😂like a go kart😯😂

[@williamprice6318]

Most cars here are manual. I prefer it once you know how. You have more control and can drive to conserve fuel easier.

[@stke1553]

Americans trying to figure out a manual is Hilarious to me and it’s also quite scary that they give 16 year olds who’ve likely never touched a Manual a license and let them loose on the road . But mostly I’m jealous because I wish I ours have been driving from 16

[@finthefail9599]

"not much of a sailor, cant actually swim." "really" i love that moment

[@markgee2087]

Most cars here are manual and most people learn to drive manual however most new model cars are automatic now so that’s probably the way forward

[@TheVicOlive]

In the UK, 80 or 90% of the cars have a manual gearbox

[@pastyman001]

IN UK you don't have to learn with a manual car, but if you learn on an automatic, you are only allowed to drive an automatic. Most cars and vans were manual until quite recently, but auto is taking over fast, with all the upmarket versions and electrics. I prefer manual. More control, fun, faster, better economy on fuel, more reliable. Better for ice and snow. Less likely to fall asleep at wheel.

[@TheInsideVideo]

Came for Peep Show, stayed for the Corney t-shirt.

[@oldcaptainjack]

When I was learning to drive many years ago in the UK I was frustrated as hell trying to get the clutch/gearbox/bite point right and wanted to quit and learn to do an automatic instead, but people told me to hang in there and keep going cos then you can drive both. 99.9999% of people I know who drive have manuals. It's rare to find someone driving an automatic (in my experience at least). But I would LOVE to have an automatic. Maybe my next car will be one, I hope.

[@FireMunki63]

Driven from UK to Greek Islands back in the 1980's took my own car (race modified manual) on to ferry and around those windy tiny roads as you call them! Lol.

Das Boot means boat, not Boot. There is a Film Das Boot, set on a submarine U-Boot …

[@abenormal9075]

Yeah Das Boot means The Boat

[@matthewjamison]

Public transport is also a lot more better in Europe, than across the pond. So driving isn't essential

[@MrAckers75]

Most of the cars are manual in the uk dude probably due to our standard driving test is always a manual

[@brodders6664]

I've been driving for 10 years and last week got my very first automatic. Keep putting my left foot down on an invisible clutch every time I slow down.

[@johncostello3174]

in UK you can learn and take your test in a car with automatic transmission if you want but you'll then only be licensed to drive automatics. And most cars in UK are manual transmission, so if you own an automatic and need to drive someone else's car you could be stuck. Unless you're willing to take the risk of getting caught.

[@CodingAbroad]

If you’re a boy in college learning to drive using an automatic be prepared for ridicule

[@alexmousley7213]

Most cars in the UK are manual- I don't think many people have automatic cars.

[@paulbromley6687]

90 percent of our cars are manual. I drive a hybrid auto now it seems to be the way it’s going with new cars.

[@thecornedbeefcouncil9792]

Used to be the case that automatic cars were much rarer but nowadays every car model has an automatic option. You can even take your test in an Automatic and get an Auto only license.

[@PeleRana-pp6zc]

Almost everyone in Uk drives a manual car.

[@n.p5463]

Manual is still really popular but automatic driving is starting to take off here in the uk

[@JoeeyTheeKangaroo]

We have more manual cars. I'd probably feel nervous driving an automatic car, I don't like the idea of not having as much control over a car.

[@NGT4LIFE]

You have more control in a automatic. I used to only drive manual cars,but then I got an E46 auto and quickly got used to it. It's a more relaxing drive because you don't use a clutch and have to keep changing gears.

[@jakell99]

From the title of this episode I was waiting for a throwback to Mark's fascination with the German film 'Das Boot' which he forced Sophie to watch in one of the early series' and was puzzled by its absence. Then I realised it referred to Jeremy's adventure in the rowing boat..

[@davidz3879]

A rowing boat is very different to a submarine. The only German connection in this ep is Hans using two German numbers.

[@ellisrushworth4024]

the next episode is called st hospitals and its one of my favourites

[@Reevesy791]

The confusing of Das Boot the classical German war epic for the tacky drinking boot was truly an 'America moment' if ever there was one 😂

I’ve seen Beerfest it’s a pretty funny movie. If you can get over the fact it’s supposed to be an international beer drinking competition in Germany. But they only do those silly American drinking games. Drinking games tend to get in the way of drinking. You can only take a swig of beer if your opponent manages to throw a ping pong ball in a plastic red cup.

[@rach15ish]

Mostly manual cars in UK and Europe. But if someone ops for an automatic test they can only drive automatic…

[@richt71]

FYI Queen boomer you can learn on an automatic but you can only drive an automatic whereas if you learn with a manual you can drive either. Automatics have got more popular over the last 2 decades.

[@The-Underbaker]

I only know one person that learned to drive on an automatic, and therefore not legally allowed to drive a manual car.

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

having a automatic only licence in UK is considered not a FULL license and its embarrassing if you dont have a manual license.

[@GilesWendes]

We also have public transport.

[@vicky_webcatuk]

I've only had one automatic, but I've moved back to a sports manual now. Automatics are much better nowadays but id always have a manual by preference. When my BMW's automatic gearbox went a bit wrong (fluid or something) and started changing gears way too quickly it was horrible at roundabouts and junctions. Dont want to go through that ever again 😱

[@stevehartley7504]

Names! They have to go with the surname and have to sound ok being shouted out when they are out playing. Driving,: the average rule of thumb is 1.5 hours for each year of your age. Automatic cars are not the norm. If you learn on manual you can drive an automatic. If you learn to drive an automatic you can only drive an automatic!

[@helenwood8482]

Virtually all cars I the UK are manual. Driving an automatic is not really driving and it costs a lot more in car price and fuel.

I'm from the UK, and I'm in Istanbul tonight, on the raki...and I still have time to catch up with my two favourite Americans. Great time, great reaction and great people all round! Also, using a manual gearbox makes you feel more in sync with the car and the ground you are driving on. More connected. Synergie, as the French would say? Or, fuckin less lazy, as the British would say?! C'mon! Use the gears! It's fun! Love you.....

Automatic is fairly common in the UK. But certainly most beginner cars, or low end and older cars will be manual. Most people also tend to learn in manual vehicles as if you pass your test in an automatic vehicle you will only be qualified to drive automatic vehicles, while if you pass your test in a manual vehicle you are qualified to drive both.

Fairly common means I've never seen an automatic ever in my life outside of a hire car situation
