INT: Top Yacht studio, usual three presenters, studio audience, various boats hanging behind etc
CLARKSON
We're back! Yes it's time for the Christmas special Top Yacht!
Audience cheers!
HAMMOND
And first up we have a morality tale about what happens where certain people, mentioning no names, Jeremy, put speed above safety
MAY
That's right. We were doing a race with what looks like a bunch of frog eaters when, well see for yourself:
EXT: on a racing yacht at sea, wild conditions, heading downwind in breaking waves (see video below)
HAMMOND (on the tiller):
Woo hoo!! Look at that! 15 knots!!
MAY (popping head out of companion way):
Easy boy racer, trying to brew myself a cup of tea down here
CLARKSON
We're not going fast enough. Let's put up the spinnaker!!
HAMMOND and MAY
What?
CLARKSON
More power!!
HAMMOND and MAY
What??
CLARKSON
MORE POWER!!!
HAMMOND
We heard you. What we meant was "what?" - or rather "why?"
MAY
Or rather "are you crazy?"
CLARKSON (preparing lines etc)
You can never have too much power, it's a well known fact.
HAMMOND
I have a very bad feeling about this
CLARKSON (heading for foredeck):
Trust me: what can possibly go wrong?
MAY
Oh seacock!
