Trivia[]

  • The episode was the final episode of Top Gear broadcast before Jeremy Clarkson's dismissal from the BBC and turned out to be the final episode in which he appeared in the studio segments. It was his 398th appearance in an episode of the show.
  • As studio segments were traditionally filmed on the Wednesday prior to airing, it is very likely that it was filmed on the 4th of March, 2015, the same day as the assault took place.
