Nah. Mrs Brown.
Rory tests the latest pink Fiat 500 Hybrid in an urban trawl around the country's tanning salons, nail bars and hairdressers.
Dermot presents a feature on attempts by manufacturers to improve vehicle security and shows us some of the latest Twoc techniques with cut-aways to live joyriding action, filmed on iphones, with a studio-based judging panel.
The compulsory 'water feature' has Winnie Mcgooghan testing the replacement for the Yellow Duck on a 48 hour pub crawl with her mates up the River Shannon.

Just watched it back on Iplayer. At face value, not wearing an impact vest and helmet may seem stupid, however the ski is a big stable beast and 40mph on a jetski is barely moving.
You havent been able to buy a sit down that was that slow since the early 90's, the chance of falling off has got to be virtually zero. He wasnt doing any tricks, drove in a straight line accross an inland lake and was surrounded by safety boats.
How dangerous was it really ? Not very IMHO

Well first off, I used to be a commercial fisherman and I knew quite a few people who drowned at sea. Secondly I think there's a certain amount of jealousy behind the criticism of people like Clarkson and Bear as though any of us would hold back for a second if offered their jobs or lifestyle. Thirdly, I'm fed up with this oh-so-superior, tut-tut attitude at anything even remotely dangerous. I mean, half a page of step-by-step instructions on how to jump a wake; really? Look, the show is about pratting around in fast cars doing crazy stuff. If Clarkson wants to ski across a lake without a PFD then so what? It's make-believe, and we all know it.

Blimey, somebody's tired Personally I wouldn't swap with Clarkson or Rupert, that would mean downshifting
PS I drive 50k a year & know people who've died in car accidents, doesn't mean to say I don't think "w4nker" every time some yoof in a clapped out hot hatch comes screaming past

God, you're not wrong. It's at work where I'm really starting to notice it. I had to do some 'lean' training the other day (process efficiency etc); it was unbearable. Maybe 10 years ago I would have been more on-message, but nowadays...

So do I. I just don't wish them dead though; we were all young once.
