Reader scoop: Top Gear refilms the Italian Job!

Updated: 26 January 2015

Sharp-eyed CAR Online reader Damien Morgan sent in some great photos of the day that Top Gear ended up in Belfast – to re-enact one of the most celebrated scenes from The Italian Job.

Clarkson and co went to Northern Ireland where they were allowed to film in the Belfast sewerage system. In a homage to the Minis hurtling around Turin’s waterworks, the Top Gear team swapped Minis for Renault Twingos.

When can I see the Italian Job on Top Gear?

The new series is underway on BBC2 on Sunday nights and the Twingo-in-sewers scene is due to be aired on Sunday 6 December.

Damien was quick-witted enough to bag a few shots of the Twingo underground, as well as a picture of a be-denimed Clarkson himself in a production meeting.

Must have been quite a draining experience. (Sorry – Ed!)
