What’s hilarious? Is the fact, that Hammond said 2006 but this particular video was published on KZbin in 2008. So, it must have had been filmed in 2006, which is 2 years before it ever went on KZbin. Not to say, that it hadn’t aired on television in 2006, but I’m not sure. But, either way still I thought that was a bit baffling as to why he said 2006 when clearly in the description box it says on every video when it was published. And this video was uploaded in 2008.

I don't need a meme golf

[@DAZZER435]

I love Jeremy's name and shame traffic announcements. If this were to happen every day, people would drive better and there would be less traffic.

[@c72784]

its 2016 now! 10 years

[@agenturensohnDLX]

+c72784 and vinyl's back on the rise

[@uhh741]

lol no its not

[@agenturensohnDLX]

+uhh741 yes it is.

[@c72784]

+uhh741 the video was uploaded in 2008 but the episode was made in 2006. read the description.

[@uhh741]

Marcel Zager No its not i cant go to walmart and buy vnyl and who in the right mind says mmmm i want to listen to a song with really shitty quality that will skip and make odd noises. Vinyl is not on the rise, it may be rising with collectors but thats it, it will never come back beyond a "Special" group of people u think people who were born in 2000 listen to records? it is on the decline if anything.

[@TheTomlinson]

I love how hammond tried his best to keep it going

[@chickenisraww1507]

LOL, I would love to listen to them on the radio everyday! They're just hilarious!

[@HACHIAttack]

"Stay at work, be productive and buy a helicopter..." Jeremy Clarkson everybody!

[@BoyPagcu]

"It's all completely hopeless. Everywhere I can see people in Astras, M25... Godstone's jammed up at Junction 6. Don't use it! Don't use it! Stay at work and buy a helicopter." -Jermey Clarkson 2006

[@charleswalker3120]

How the hell everyone listening to this wasn't pissing themsleves having the time of their lives is beyond me.

[@Filipe1020]

People with no sense of humor that's who.

[@danielstrong5711]

Top Gear was a staple part of my childhood. I must've watched every single episode 100s of times; series 2 all the way through to series 22. I still maintain, though, that the absolute peak started around series 5 right the way through to series 14. 2004-2010. They were the absolute golden years. Classic. (This was series 8 - 2006!)

[@laurinkaufmann8880]

Best Radio Show ever

[@TurtleSauceGaming]

"How's the traffic Jeremy?" "IT'S ALL COMPLETELY HOPELESS!"

[@polohare]

"There is no turntable, its 2006!"

[@ThomasCollectables]

Ironically there would be a turntable now.

[@sukhdevr3489]

How times have changed...

[@mikeox-smelts3659]

You mean how the turns have table

[@sayno2lolzisback]

I've always loved how Jezza brought a Kate Bush record to play lol clearly has good taste

[@rhyssanders9122]

"Jeremy - go" "ITS ALL COMPLETELY HOPELESS"

[@jojo191519]

"there are no turntables, its 2006!" if it were 2015 there would have been turn tables again haha

[@12799MaDeuce]

Man, do all british people get that butt hurt over one day of sucky radio? Even I was stuck in traffic I'd have been laughing my ass off!

[@jezzaus2124]

Typical stuck up southerners.

[@phalanxphalanx4808]

It's a joke, you thick sod.

[@Harvester236]

As a Southerner, I agree. A lot of us are boring twats.

[@phelnox]

12799MaDeuce I suppose at the time Top Gear wasn't really known so these people were going mental because they thought they had actually changed the presenters

[@danielxh558]

12799MaDeuce No i’d fucking love it if that was on my radio XD

[@adelaideautowashes]

BEST RADIO STATION EVER Every time i would be driving home, i would be laughing non stop.

[@scottgreaves3979]

If you pause it at 9:23 you can actually see the people’s phone numbers who were calling in. Rather stupidly last night while watching this after a few drinks I called them at 4am and got a very confused bloke who answered the phone haha.

[@oioioi6664]

Wow, how did that conversation go? 😂

[@jamiesworld1690]

Wow can't believe u did

[@stinkyroadhog1347]

And those are from 2006 so likely those numbers changes hands

[@willotoole4118]

Top gear radio station

[@religiousabuse]

+Will O'Toole hell yea

[@levicats123]

It's called car talk on NPR on Sunday mornings

[@LocksIPick]

Car talk is the greatest.

[@booxwee3804]

I love how the genuine producers look really scared haha

[@Pattyness20]

Lost it at 8:36 "Get that bloody idiot Jeremy Clarkson off the radio, he's a load of crap. Then she hung up."

[@CanadaBud23]

Also: "would like some common sense and sensibility" I guess she wanted some redundancy as well.

[@kalyansapsd1]

"Jeremy Clarkson is far too gobby for his own good"

[@blaketindle4703]

Loved Clarkson’s traffic bits! Just spends the time ripping the drivers who caused accidents haha

[@Evan-ht4ih]

Whenever I have a bad day I just watch top gear and it makes my day tolerable

[@TheBritishBarman]

Tunes into radio Jeremy Clarkson: IT'S ALL COMPLETELY HOPELESS!

[@Burguret]

2:01 "James set about mastering some of the stations other technical equipment"

[@alangreig4261]

He's not just reporting on the traffic, he's bossing it about. Utter genius!
