it's a different feeling entirely. I'm afraid of heights, but dont get vertigo when I'm in a plane, or on a roller coaster. I could maybe get 5 or 6 steps up that ladder before I'd be moving as slow of May, maybe even just stop all together and go back down.

1:34 - "Well just because that little winged-mouse bastard is hanging upside down and now feeling smug with himself cause I'm up this ladder, we can't knock the house down?" Excellent commentary from James May. 🤣🤣
For everyone wondering why they so casually destroy a 200-year-old house, Jeremy always intended to knock it down and replace it with a larger house. The guys thought it would be funnier to just blow it up
do you know what was wrong with it? ...seems like such a waste to destroy a lovely house. like my parents house is almost 100 and has a lot of issues so if we were filth rich we'd destroy and rebuild. it was made before indoor heating, electric or internet, the pipes had to be entirely redone because they were utterly rusted, the walled of chimneys had water infiltration etc etc. But what was wrong with this 200 year old one? seemed fine from the outside.
This was actually a genius move on Jeremy's part. Instead of paying a demolition crew to do this, trick his colleagues into doing it for free. I'm guessing as well as wanting to build a bigger house, the house probably had a lot of issues that weren't worth fixing, potentially even structural issues, so knocking it down and building new was the best option.

Don't blame the bats. Blame the horrific wet markets that torture animals and are a breeding ground for horrific shit. Besides, cars are more dangerous than covid.
@@Jeff.78 1. Covid having come to us from bats in wet markets in China is the most probable theory according to a huge team of international scientists put together by the WHO (World Health Organization). No idea why you would act like Christine is silly for believing it, it's the most internationally recognized theory on the origins of the pandemic in the scientific community across the entire world. If you're going to throw shade on it like that, you better back up your argument with strong research. Unless you just meant that the virus wasn't created by rotten bat meat, but already existed in them when they were alive? Which is true, but then Christine never said otherwise, so your comment wouldn't make sense in that case. 2. Considering 3,5 MILLION people have died worldwide from the virus so far (probably a lot more that haven't been registered), I do think you shouldn't say things like "a virus that 99% of those who contract it will survive" so lightly. Don't trivialize it. Have a bit more respect and empathy for the huge amount of people that have lost their lives to the virus.
@@Rokudaimedono The science behind the virus doesn't scare me. Heart disease kills 18 million a year, globally, per the WHO. It's a shame governments don't take a scientific approach to fixing that. They tell us to eat plants and low fat everything, when science shows a low carb/ low inflammatory diet is best for reducing heart disease. Big pharma doesn't benefit from a healthy populace. Control the money, control the people.
@@Jeff.78 There's a difference between not being unnecessarily afraid of something, and having a healthy respect for it. Most of all, if it can be fatal for a lot of people around the world, you shouldn't trivialize it just because most normal healthy people like yourself would survive it, especially when we're dealing with something that is this infectious. The constant mutations we're getting as a directt result of the latter is a genuine worry. Anyway, regardless of all of this, at the very least, making fun of other people for listening to what the experts and most respected world health organizations are saying about something they themselves know nothing about, and following their advice, is simply not cool, and you shouldn't do it. If for some reason you're convinced WHO is wrong about something (the corona virus coming to us from bats at wet markets in China), then okay, try to prove it if you can, and try to convince others if you feel you must, but never ridicule other people and the general populace for simply listening to what the science is saying. That's not okay (plus it's counterproductive). P.S: European health organizations and pharmaceutical companies aren't as cynical as in the U.S, as most healthcare is free in most countries here (because everyone pays for the costs collectively in our taxes here, because we believe that's better for everyone, and, unlike in the US, our "we should look out for each other" mentality is much stronger than our "everyone should look out for themselves, and earn what they gain" mentality), even without health insurance, and so it's much less of an industry here. We don't really like the idea of treating people's survival as a business. A sentiment that I feel ought to be common sense to everyone, but that I recognize isn't the case worldwide.
To everyone pissed that they knocked down the house: the county were very clear that we can’t even kill a bloody bat. If the house had historical value to it they wouldn’t have let Hammond and May go anywhere near it
He was planning on knocking it down anyway. He did have a two-storey house, but he wanted to buy a 3 storey house which was 4 million pounds. When he mentioned it to the guys on The Grand Tour, they decided that Richard and James destroying his house would be a funny thing to include.
I completely agree. That was a perfectly good, solidly made home that with care would last another couple hundred years. It will be replaced with modern crap.
@@kennethfharkin you are brainwashed by old boomers that want to scam you cause they only know how to fix old stuff. Everything made now is better quality from small things to big things. Modern home will last million years no problem, new cars can last few milion miles no problem and many examples prove that and now days you can buy 50$ obd scanner so old scammers can't scam you and replace something different. The whole bad quality myth is complete nonsense many new mechanisms are super effective and easy to fix but stupid people that did same thing for 50 years can't fix it. Even with agricultural equipment some tractors that are 4 years old did more work (have more hours) than some 50 year old tractor. And about the house there's a good reason why he wanted to demolish it. Open you eyes don't let myths fool you.
@@dkdanis1340 Wow, it is clear you know next to nothing on the subject. "Modern home will last million years no problem, new cars can last few milion miles no problem" That is so laughably wrong I don't know where to start, nor do I have to because anyone with an iota of intelligence can see the bullshit.
@@dkdanis1340 you do know to make a profit things are designed to only function just as long and just as well as they need to these days right? Don't forget planned obsolescence either. Sure we can build things that last longer and work better, but we don't usually, because it's more profitable to not do that. Engineers spend a lot of time working out what they can remove and cut out of something to reduce complexity and cost while still allowing something to function
"Little winged mouse bastard" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I literally can't stop frikking laughing... damn you James. Lol That is the most beautiful collection of explosion clouds i've ever seen. (No offence Jeremy, please don't hate me)
Before this was shown in the 1st place we knew about it as the newspapers kind of spoiled it as they broke the news that he blew his own house up to make way for a new one and that when we saw the p1 take the start line we knew it was always going to lose 😔
he bought the farm, the house was a wreck and had to go, someone had to demolish it, this way they wrote it off as a business expense or however they do that in the UK.

To everyone pissed that they knocked down the house: the county were very clear that we can’t even kill a bloody bat. If the house had historical value to it they wouldn’t have let Hammond and May go anywhere near it
Seriously... James May flies a cessna and yet he is afraid of heights 🤣🤣
This is the same house they drove Peugeots into 😂
Would have been nice if James said " Hasta la Vista, Jeremy!" 😂
James: we’ve got to knock it down in neat piles so it can all be carted away methodically
Also James: 5:11
Can't stop laughing watching this on a Sunday morning while I'm doing the do 🤣. Back to "work" now....still giggling
Poor Gerald. Destroyed his wall
idk if that is his house , but its the same house he crashes into (1:25) on the "peugeot drivers" episode lol
Yes it was.
Hmm joy
Jeremy Clarkson
“Winged mouse bastard” is how I will describe every bat I see from now on
They did a lot of silly things on The Grand tour but this is still by far the silliest
to give jeremy credit the view was really astonishing
"Oh! Oh, I've broken my digger. Oh, dear." -Some old man.
Hammond is literally a child at heart
That was a very beautiful castle house to break down.
He was planning on knocking it down anyway. He did have a two-storey house, but he wanted to buy a 3 storey house which was 4 million pounds. When he mentioned it to the guys on The Grand Tour, they decided that Richard and James destroying his house would be a funny thing to include.
is that your sure name?
That explosion gave me an Another Stakeout flashback.
I just noticed that the song playing in 5:02 is the same they used in the hilux episode
If you watch the top gear episode with the fighter in the garden it is tha same house in 3:50 of the old video
The way May stares cluelessly at that voodoo doll.
2:37 Hunh, more work for Gerald, how nice.
For me it's the buildup of explosions. Pop. Pop pop BANG BOOM KAFOOOOOOM
It's sad to see a 200 year old building destroyed. The western side of Australia hadn't even been settled then, never mind having a building that old.
I completely agree. That was a perfectly good, solidly made home that with care would last another couple hundred years. It will be replaced with modern crap.
@@kennethfharkin you are brainwashed by old boomers that want to scam you cause they only know how to fix old stuff. Everything made now is better quality from small things to big things. Modern home will last million years no problem, new cars can last few milion miles no problem and many examples prove that and now days you can buy 50$ obd scanner so old scammers can't scam you and replace something different. The whole bad quality myth is complete nonsense many new mechanisms are super effective and easy to fix but stupid people that did same thing for 50 years can't fix it. Even with agricultural equipment some tractors that are 4 years old did more work (have more hours) than some 50 year old tractor. And about the house there's a good reason why he wanted to demolish it. Open you eyes don't let myths fool you.
@@dkdanis1340 Wow, it is clear you know next to nothing on the subject. "Modern home will last million years no problem, new cars can last few milion miles no problem" That is so laughably wrong I don't know where to start, nor do I have to because anyone with an iota of intelligence can see the bullshit.
@@kennethfharkin Well you clearly have no clue and you can't even realize that i over exaggerated numbers on purpose for an example.
@@dkdanis1340 you do know to make a profit things are designed to only function just as long and just as well as they need to these days right? Don't forget planned obsolescence either. Sure we can build things that last longer and work better, but we don't usually, because it's more profitable to not do that. Engineers spend a lot of time working out what they can remove and cut out of something to reduce complexity and cost while still allowing something to function
Absolutely hilarious! Thanks for the video.
James used to hate bats even before 2020 proves that he was way ahead of his time.
Ahhh that old whistling song i remember from the indestructible hilux bit, childhood memories
5:34 “and on that bombshell......”
"...back to the crib"
2:22 omfg I can’t 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And to think Jeremy’s neighbors thought he blowed up his own house
"Little winged mouse bastard" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I literally can't stop frikking laughing... damn you James. Lol
That is the most beautiful collection of explosion clouds i've ever seen.
(No offence Jeremy, please don't hate me)
This house was the background they use with the first car challenge at night, when jeremy hits a shed in a vovlo state
Oh dear we've knocked down, the wrong house!!!😂😂😂
Before this was shown in the 1st place we knew about it as the newspapers kind of spoiled it as they broke the news that he blew his own house up to make way for a new one and that when we saw the p1 take the start line we knew it was always going to lose 😔
Richard Hammond looks like if Robert Downey Jr and lin-manuel Miranda were fused together
4:43 what's that?
James may
James May as a Voodoo doll
Having the destroying part of your house being able to write of as a tax write off is honestly smart, we indeed can't phantom his genius
Only James May would make destroying a house boring 😂
Chipping Norton locals were fuming 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is Jeremy's idea to destroy his house to move on from his wife
he bought the farm, the house was a wreck and had to go, someone had to demolish it, this way they wrote it off as a business expense or however they do that in the UK.
@@elund408 mdr a wreck ?
Amazing idea that they used it as an idea for a video.
@@elund408 amazon has billions of money they can afford this house in 4 seconds im sure they had no business expenses
Exploding Jeremy's house was Much bearable than changing name to Jessica🤣
Teenie tiny bit sad to see such an old house be destroyed, but this was still fun to watch 🙂
It's not really old for the UK, though.
Jezza's house explodes.
Jezza "......and on that bombshell"
