Trivia[]
- This was the third of three lead-in episodes to the "Holy Trinity Special" which would have started Series 23 were it not for Jeremy Clarkson's Dismissal in March 2015. As a result, all three presenters left the show and the plans for the episode were eventually retooled into The Holy Trinity, the pilot episode of spiritual successor The Grand Tour, which premiered 18 months on from this episode.
- The other two episodes were Series 21, Episode 2 (McLaren P1) and Series 21, Episode 5 (Porsche 918).
