捕鱼是一项辛苦的工作，而捕蓝鳍金枪鱼则让人精疲力尽，在马萨诸塞州的格洛斯特，有一群特殊的渔夫，他们世代用钓竿和鱼线捕捉行踪不定的蓝鳍金枪鱼。他们以此谋生，蓝鳍金枪鱼数量稀少、价格高昂，是日本寿司的最高级食材，因此这行竞争异常激烈。每年的捕鱼季持续近10周，这些最老练的渔夫将漂泊在北大西洋冰冷的海上寻找”海中钻石“蓝鳍金枪鱼。有人捕到过价值20000美金的大鱼。 节目涉及到的主要捕鱼地点： 乔治浅滩：位于大西洋美洲大陆架边缘,从美国科德角延伸至新斯科舍省。水深50米～80米,但有的地方不到10米。浮游生物特别多,渔业资源非常丰富,正常情况下每年能捕42万吨鱼。但最近几十年来,一些国家的远洋捕鱼船在这一带滥捕,渔业资源遭到严重破坏。1984年,海牙国际法庭裁决,乔治浅滩的5/6归美国,其余的归加拿大。

Everyone has an opinion on bad cars... now it's time to hear the ones that really count--ours... As it's the worst car in the history of the WORLD, we're on our travels ... to the North of England ... to name and shame the most rubbish car from a manufacturer which, frankly, should have known better. But, it's not all about hateful cars ... Oh no. You have to revel in some good ones to appreciate the stinkers. There's the Ferrari 458 spider, Toyota's GT86 and the £340,000 Lexus LFA rubbing shoulders with a Mercedes SLS. Our guest driver, The Stig's Yorkshire cousin, puts his whippet to one side and throws a BMW M5 round a gymkhana course before we have a go in a couple of Transatlantic challengers. Things don't go well. We spend treasured leisure time on the golf course continuing our debate. That doesn't go well either. We even put our own cars--past and present--into the reckoning. That ends badly too. We argue over the great and the awful from Peugeot, Ford, Mahindra, FSO, Alfa Romeo, Rolls Royce, Porsche, Citroen, Saab ... and many more. And we have a special, surprise fate in store for the car we pick as our biggest loser... Enjoy... Jeremy Clarkson James May
