Regular viewers of Top Gear would have seen the 50 Years of Bond Cars special this week, but if you’re a more casual follower of Top Gear than of the James Bond franchise, then you may have missed it. Not to worry, BBC Canada will re-run the special Saturday, November 17, at 9pm ET, and BBC America will re-run it this Monday, November 19, at 7pm ET/PT. With a generous allotment of footage from past films and Skyfall, Richard Hammond presents his favorite Bond cars and interviews Daniel Craig and Roger Moore about their favorites. Both are surprising choices. Goldfinger director Guy Hamilton and a former Stig who trains Bond stunt drivers add their insights as well. But it wouldn’t be Top Gear without those don’t-try-this-at-home stunts. One is a marginally successful attempt to bring an invisible car into the real world, and the other puts the Lotus Excel to the submarine test. We’re pursuing a bit more of the star interview footage for the DVD, planned for March 2013.
