If I had a nickel for every intro where it was just Jeremy talking about their hats, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice
Outside of the two that were just about the hats, there's also the one Clarkson wore in an Aston Martin and the two before Hammond was behind a low wall
I see three people slowly built a British television cultural masterpiece, and presented it gloriously to the whole world. We are ever more greatful to them
I love how even the more factual ones of the early seasons are more than occasionally just described in the most absurd way possible. Or just in the most literal way possible.
*Tonight on top gear I commit warcrimes in the middle east* *Richard Hammond crashes another expensive car and is in intensive care* *And James breaks into an old womans home*
It had a different meaning than we expect these days During Top Gear's revival in 2002, BBC didn't own the license and rights to the show apart from censorship and dictating the show's length, which means they didn't have the rights for anything else in the show: No corporate interference during the production and no rights for Top Gear employees' contracts at all. If anything, the Top Gear team had all the power to switch to other broadcaster like Bedder 6 in case the BBC started some unnecessary things that the team would deem jeopardizing their show. It took the BBC until the early 2010s when they finally owned Top Gear entirely and things started to go south from there
10:20 I met that blind man. He came to my primary school to do some talk about being blind. I think his name was Billy Baxter. He said he lost his sight while riding a motorbike while in the army (can't remember if it was during a military operation or something). And yes, when it came to the questions, he must've been asked "What can you see?" and "Do you just see black?" about five times.
*Looking at the comments* "These intros can't be that insane right?" *Gets to mid-season 12 and there's still 10 minutes left* "Yeah I'm concerned now..."
17:50 James May: "And now the news. And I'm afraid we start with an apology... we are unable to bring you Jeremy's road test of a Ferrari on the moon."
I decided to throw ChatGPT at one of these intros and this is what it came up with: [Opening credits roll with energetic music playing] Clarkson (with his signature enthusiasm): "TONIGHT! I attempt to parallel park a double-decker bus!" [Cut to a scene of Clarkson nervously maneuvering a massive bus between two cars, narrowly avoiding disaster] Clarkson: "Richard competes in a lawn mower drag race!" [Cut to Hammond in a racing helmet, revving up a souped-up lawn mower on a grassy track] Clarkson: "And James attempts to set the world record for the slowest lap in a supercar!" [Cut to James May cautiously navigating a sleek supercar at a snail's pace on a racetrack, with tire squeals and engine roars in the background] [The Top Gear logo appears on the screen, and the crowd erupts with laughter and cheers as the episode begins.]
S13 e6 22:24 is where it finally loses all sensible meaning and becomes completely abstract I wear some goggles Richard falls down a small slope And james says hello to a man
I like how they went from giving actual info about the show to just absolutely meaning less things in the intro. That's what made it the best motoring show in the world, quite literally. It was more entertaining then informative yet it was still fundamentally a car show.

Watching over 30 minutes of intros like this makes you realize something profound:
They wear a lot of hats. And some with things on them.
Relatively speaking, they actually very rarely wear hats
Man this is one action-packed Episode of Top Gear
I randomly skipped and landed at 13:42 and just heard Clarkson say:
I developed a sudden urge to marry my cousin
Season One: How fast can the new Zonda go around our track?
Season Eighteen: I breathe oxygen
Season One: A man more boring than May explains used cars
Season 22: Richard marries a dog.
