I had such a huge crush on this lovely man and I loved the fact that he settled in England and felt very much at home here, God Bless David and thanks for all the thrills!
speaks fluent german & spanish-probably a little chinese since he married Rambo-2's female star super smart guy glad to hear good comment from some one who met him
He looks a lot better now than he did then - he doesnt look sad or tired anymore. He looks happier :) And I don't care that he's a year younger than my father - I LUV HIM! *L*
Great actor ,I remember when he was on Here come the Brides wirh Bobby Sherman and a great cast. And one of the coolest movies of that era Magnum Force. Mr. Soul was cool in all his movies and tv series.
I can't even believe this is David Soul...looks nothing like him. Never missed an episode of the show, and tapes of him singing. LOVE listening to him sing. Really miss him.
I saw him on two PBS Series; the first was Hericule Poirot, the second was Inspector Lewis, I didn't realize it was him in either episode. I read that he has an issue w/ Alcohol, that would explain the haggard look.
Americans will struggle to understand the subtleties and occasional coldness or polite bluntness of British humour, but David Soul did well here, even though Jeremy occasionally put Soul on his back foot with frank responses and skeptical demands. Soul worked with wayward teen idol Lance Kerwin on the movie "Salem's Lot" movie in 1979. I received a letter from Kerwin many years later when Kerwin moved to Hawaii, where he still lives today. I have been a journalist for decades. Good to see Soul still going strong. The movie industry is a strange one... don't expect to see Kerwin or Soul on the big-screen anytime soon.
He's certainly kept well hasn't he? I wasn't really interested in the remake film, but I've had all 4 series DVD sets of Starsky & Hutch for ages. I also briefly had a 1/18th scale striped tomato Torino though sadly it had damage & had to go back! Nothing will ever replace the original series with David and Paul.
He's a real guy, real words, real thoughts, who is done with the foolishness of celebrity, but I'm glad he's having fun at reminicing about the old days. Seems he's been through a lot and has learned from it. Good luck to you Mr. David Soul. Boy the host is really playing the "American" card alot right? british asshole. I couldn't tell If the host really liked him or was being condescending.
To Lori L. - You turned off the reply button so people can't reply to the rude and ugly comment you left because you are a coward. David Soul has admitted to his past mistakes and has done a lot of work to redeem himself. Please stop the hate.
Aah, Jeremy's just jealous because America have made the most beautifull cars EVER. Even their compact cars during the 70s oil crisis, like the Dodge Dart and Ford Maverick (which were virtually the same size as ours) far 'out style' ours. And JC sees public roads as a race track and expects even ordinary work-horse cars to get him from A - B in record time.
I agree with Jaffa 169 ,Jeremy Paxton isn`t your typical Brit!..he is however ,extremely patronising!.I do think he was having a laugh here tho...kudos to David for taking it so well:)
I’m confused Det. Hutchinson was my absolute fav But I thought his eyes were really truly blue They look hazel/brown here. Omg I just saw him in The Phantom of Herald Square 1973 movie from Circle of Fear series BROWN EYES!!
Yeah, he had brown contacts because the actor playing the older version of his character had brown eyes. Looked a little odd. I've also noticed that his eyes don't seem as blue as when he was younger. Perhaps eye color changes a bit as some people age.
It. was treading and may be you didn't know what was kool to were but I know that David we're was treading and he looked hip the clothes he were on the show I loved it and him .
I`m British ,and I do think that`s just his kind of humour ,just hope Ds didn't take offence ,as ,despite speaking the same language.(English:) ,we do talk in very different ways:) I think the absolute worst interview ,(british) That I`ve seen with david ,was one with Terry Wogan ,back in the mid 80s? David was with his 4th wife ,Julia nickson soul ,and they`d had their first daughter ,but Terry just kept banging on about his past!..Seriously embarrassing..i felt uncomfortable for him...
how the hell did muslims get into this topic? This is top gear for Christ's sake! David Soul is a good actor who's been in some classic stuff (Starsky and hutch - Salems lot) It's about putting him in an average car and seeing how he does! His looks nor nationality (or muslims) should even be mentioned!
lmao. He broke two cars. It probably would be kinda hard to shift with your right hand when you have with your left for your entire life. I know it would take me a long while to get use to it.
He probably broke two gearbox's because he's driving on the opposite side that he's used to. I know I would have a heck of a time getting used to shifting with my left hand.
Who's to say which side of the road is actually correct and which one is incorrect? It's just different systems that have developed for different countries. But if you do actually have a reason, please do post it up.
yes maybe ,but ,hey ,us Brits can be slightly high browed at times..Jeremy is a prime example!LOL..we`re all not like him however....it`s the same with any country ,you have your good and bad ,polite and indifferent:):).. Nice to "talk" to you from across the "pond":)
Christ, first top gear video where the comments have turned into some womens fantasy stories rather than arguments over which country makes the best cars.
He wrecked two cars!!!!! Americans just can't drive! hahah! Being a Brit now, he should practice a bit more and come back to the show. I love David. He is great...
British cars aside, even the most hardcore vintage car fans in the US say that a lot of old cars looked great but didn't hold up well. That's why people used to say Ford stood for Found on the Road Dead.
@PoochMount18 Look at it again mate! He was being condescending, everyone could tell, I'm not the only one on this site who "suspected" the host was being a smart ass. Maybe that's the "Bristish way" but as much as we (Americans) may be "sensitive" the british have a superior" way about them that can be down right rude and you know it...especially If your british, so dont get mad at me when I'm only speaking what "we American have experienced from you guys...
Although I agree that Americans have done some terrible things to Muslims (and many others), saying Americans are "buried under tons of sin" brings a religious aspect to the argument that is simply inviting trouble. After all, the Crusades were waged in the name of God, and the Muslim jihad is waged in the name of Allah, yet I don't think either are very "godly". And, In defense of Americans (and Muslims), it is definitely a case of one bad apple spoiling the barrel.
@HTHAMMACK1, if you took two seconds to check my profile, you would realize that I am an American like you. However, you are frankly a shining example of why I consider the majority of the rest of the world to be far more worthwhile in terms of intellectual integrity and curiosity than virtually all Americans. Because, like most Americans, you speak in broad generalizations and simply attack those perceived as different, instead of criticizing the structure and content of an argument.
Since then, things have been going downhill. Look at how things like the Iraq invasion are handled. America has strayed from it's roots, and I for one hope that Americans "see the light" and start changing things.
R.I.P - David Soul, legend.
Agree ,rip david

this is great!! David's the best!
GRowing up to my favorite show "starsky & Hutch " may u rest peace David Soul ... you'll be missed😢
Love. That. Man
Me and my friends met him in a bar on Sunset Blvd circa 1993. We were the only ones in the bar and he came walking in by himself.
R.I.P. David Soul 😭😭😭
Love him and not only good in Starsky & Hutch
I remember a guy near us had a car like that too. We loved to see it driving by.
I got one, I drive by shop windows so I can see my car going by, its great, I get a lot of people whistling and yelling "Yo Starsky"
Fantastic stuff! Thanks for sharing. Such a modest and down to earth man. 😊
Wow! Some of us age more gracefully than others! Still, I remember loving David Soul/Hutch and loving his show...
I don't understand why people click on videos just to comment about why they hate what they're watching. Don't like it? Don't watch it.
TheresMoreThanOneWay I was thinking the same thing.
totally agree, it is from having insecurity, they boost their pathetic ego by saying things they would be scared to say in person.
My favorite 6th grade teacher went to school with David Soul :)
He's got alot of soul!
Great actor ,I remember when he was on Here come the Brides wirh Bobby Sherman and a great cast. And one of the coolest movies of that era Magnum Force.
Mr. Soul was cool in all his movies and tv series.
Woowee how I loved that show
Us British can now say that Mr.Soul is a British Citizen!
think he still looks pretty good for his age, ill be happy to look like that when im almost 50, and looks like a nice person
RIP David Soul. Completely forgot he was on Top Gear.
I can't even believe this is David Soul...looks nothing like him. Never missed an episode of the show, and tapes of him singing. LOVE listening to him sing. Really miss him.
How Cool is David Soul
I saw him on two PBS Series; the first was Hericule Poirot, the second was Inspector Lewis, I didn't realize it was him in either episode. I read that he has an issue w/ Alcohol, that would explain the haggard look.
he looked so cute when he was younger but he looks good for his age now
RIP 😔
Sou admiradora de seu talento, beleza.
Adorava assistir a série Starsky & Hutch.
Uma super fã do Brasil.🙏👍👋👋👋👋♥️♥️👍🇧🇷
David looks rough but sounds great ! What year was this, anyone know
RIP! 😪

David's lived in UK since 1990's, am sure he has hang of British SOH by now, plus has a brit wife.
Se fosse legendado seria perfeito!
He's certainly kept well hasn't he? I wasn't really interested in the remake film, but I've had all 4 series DVD sets of Starsky & Hutch for ages.

RIP Hutch

Good luck to you Mr. David Soul.
Boy the host is really playing the "American" card alot right? british asshole. I couldn't tell If the host really liked him or was being condescending.
AMEN
These responses are scripted, of course he’s gonna be “condescending.”
To Lori L. - You turned off the reply button so people can't reply to the rude and ugly comment you left because you are a coward. David Soul has admitted to his past mistakes and has done a lot of work to redeem himself. Please stop the hate.
Remember when he was a bad cop in the Dirty Harry sequel?
I personally like the classic American cars , kitt general lee striped tomato
Aah, Jeremy's just jealous because America have made the most beautifull cars EVER. Even their compact cars during the 70s oil crisis, like the Dodge Dart and Ford Maverick (which were virtually the same size as ours) far 'out style' ours.

David was gracious. Jeremy could have been more polite.
Rip david
Rest in peace.
He's right about his car would toast that Tomato. I had a beat up 1972 Ford LTD and it hauled a**.
We had El Camino in early 80's Had it souped up with 450 engine & Dual exhaust
Rocked!!!!
OMG. REALLY. HOLY. MOLY
i am american and i agree with you. We cant make crap.
Es genial David !!!! ❤❤❤❤

He had a cool car in Salem's Lot, they should have got him to do a lap in that.
What that Jeep?
I agree with Jaffa 169 ,Jeremy Paxton isn`t your typical Brit!..he is however ,extremely patronising!.I do think he was having a laugh here tho...kudos to David for taking it so well:)
Jeremy Clarkson
Jeremy Paxman 😁😁😁😁 you absolute muppet mistaking Paxman for Clarkson 🙈🙊
When was this on Tv?
Give him a car where the gear shift is on the right, not the left and i bet he'd do a lot better
I’m confused
Det. Hutchinson was my absolute fav
But I thought his eyes were really truly blue
They look hazel/brown here.
Omg I just saw him in
The Phantom of Herald Square 1973 movie from Circle of Fear series
BROWN EYES!!
Yeah, he had brown contacts because the actor playing the older version of his character had brown eyes. Looked a little odd. I've also noticed that his eyes don't seem as blue as when he was younger. Perhaps eye color changes a bit as some people age.
🤣thats awesome!👏👏👏🙌
This video is part of the creation of UA-cam 15 years ago 😎😁😂👏🏻👌🏻
Is there anyway the BBC could make these videos a little less clear? You know reduce the pixels down to ohh I don’t know around one!
WOW the BBC really responds to comments.
they should put up full shows tho.
And you as well my friend :)
@MickBelcker - Oh your SO right! People freely expressing their opinions SHOULD be BANISHED from our countries airwaves!! Long live FREEDOM!
It. was treading and may be you didn't know what was kool to were but I know that David we're was treading and he looked hip the clothes he were on the show I loved it and him .
I`m British ,and I do think that`s just his kind of humour ,just hope Ds didn't take offence ,as ,despite speaking the same language.(English:) ,we do talk in very different ways:)

I do not think he was offended at all=has lots of british.Irish friends
wtf are you talking about...elaborate...I do love the CBC as well by the way
Christ, first top gear video where the comments have turned into some womens fantasy stories rather than arguments over which country makes the best cars.
Ah, let us in for a bit !
He wrecked two cars!!!!! Americans just can't drive! hahah! Being a Brit now, he should practice a bit more and come back to the show. I love David. He is great...
American cars were horrible? Shall we list the cars that flopped that came from the UK?

You muct be young. He is wearing the same kind of thing that David's partner wore in Starsky & Hutch in the 70's
