Sun, 29 February 2004 03:17 http://www.toyotaownersclub.com/news/publish/artic le_37.shtml -------------------------- BBC CRUNCHES INTO REVERSE OVER CLARKSON HI-LUX STUNT The BBC has been forced to make a sharp u-turn over a stunt performed on BBC TWO's motoring programme Top Gear. Presenter Jeremy Clarkson drove a Toyota pick-up into a 30 year old chestnut tree in a North Somerset village to prove the car's indestructible qualities. The on-going saga involved parking the reliable truck in the sea and dropping it from an exploding block of flats, regardless of attempts to destroy it the car remained drivable - much to everyone’s amazement. Producers didn't disclose the location of the tree smashing incident but an eagle eyed viewer recognised the location and reported it. Local parish council deputy chairman and church warden Pam Millward who discovered the battered tree said: "We looked at the tree (after the programme was aired) and saw red paint and glass, so I contacted the BBC" Worried that the "badly scarred" leaf grower would not recover from its ordeal Millard claimed the programme makers didn't even ask permission. BBC bosses were forced to crunch into reverse and admit they were sorry, sending the church goers £250 as an apology. [Report message to a moderator]
