What a great episode! "Richard, your jacket is made of pure 1935!" Best episode I've seen in such a long time, especially the claymore incident.

Seriously, why does America get the episodes after the UK? I thought they would show the episode at the same time for everybody.

Season 22 is turning out to be one of the best in a while. Just finished watching ep 3. Got to say it was the most I've laughed in a while. 

 

Richard's patient evacuation cannon xD

To those who haven't seen the episode yet, the "spoiler" button is there for a reason.  Don't click it.

 

Well, there was no mention in the rules of getting the patient in through the door, was there?

Let me guess, iPlayer? Because the BBC America episode airs tomorrow.

Yes. I assumed that's what everyone does? I'm in the US and I use iPlayer.. 

 

Best thing since sliced bread. The only odd thing is that you cannot cast it to a Chromecast unless youre watching the episode live.

If you can use iPlayer, you'll have to wait a day indeed.  I don't have the BBC (no TV) and iPlayer isn't available here, so I use "other" ways of acquiring the episode.

This episode was better than the last one. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

One of my favorite moments was Jay Leno on the Stars Drive Mid Priced cars segment.  

 

That or the Toyota Hilux destruction test.  Also, wow the production values of this show get better and better each time.  Their Mercedes G Wagen 6x6 videography was bloody amazing.

Nah, the Leno in the reasonably priced car was decent, but not great. I thought Daniel Ricciardo last night was brilliant, he's such an honest, heart on his sleeve guy.

If you thought the G-Wagen coverage was good, the mclaren P1, Porsche 918 and probably the Ferrari LaFerrari videography are even better.

Oh man, My non-existent ovaries will definitely explode with the P1, 918 and LaFerrari episode. I've been looking forward to it ever since they mentioned it last season.

I'm rooting for the P1 all day long. It's the best looking IMHO, sounds great and it's british.

I prefer the p1 too, but I'm afraid it's going to be beaten by the porsche...

Really? Of all I would think the Porsche would be last. The Ferrari and the McLaren seem to be on another level IMO.
