Meanwhile, at the lame replacement foisted on the audience by the BBC: What The Hell, Top Gear? At one point, three quarters into the film, LeBlanc’s voice-over said “Morale had hit rock bottom.” Keep in mind, this wasn’t in regards to the presenters crossing impossibly harsh deserts or digging cars out of stinky mud ruts for hours. This was in in reference to driving two cars from one British city to another via a goddamn highway. They get to Blackpool under an archway that says “Welcome To LeBlancpool” and the film ends.

Clarkson's a beauty, and never misses the chance to tweak the terminally sensitive.
Notice at 7:35 in the video, when he finally comes upon his staff meeting - which is entitled How to Reduce the Carbon Footprint of our Ethnically Diverse Disability Access Policy for Single Parent Mothers.
For some reason, the Beeb wasn't amused.
