Back in 2002 when we were planning New TopGear, we used to reflect on the newly minted idea of a star in a Reasonably Priced Car and cackle quietly to ourselves.
�Tom Cruise!� we would smirk. �Tom Cruise in a crappy Korean hatchback!�
That was the gag: massive A-list celebrities finding themselves shoehorned into the kind of car they�d normally never be seen dead in. The whole thing was deliberately preposterous.
And so, frankly, was our dream of getting the world�s biggest movie actor into an affordable mid-range car.
Except that this week, after just 15 series, somehow it has come to pass. This week�s star in the Reasonably Priced Car genuinely is Tom Cruise.
As if that wasn�t ludicrous enough, he�s brought a colleague with him. Her name is Cameron Diaz.
It�s fair to say, we�ve have never, ever had two bigger guests and for the past week the air in the office has been alive with a sort of sweaty-palmed excitement.
The rest of Sunday�s programme isn�t exactly shabby, either. Richard is in one of those exciting extreme sports races we haven�t done for a while. James has a world exclusive crack at maxing the brand new, 1,200bhp Bugatti Veyron Supersports. Jeremy reflects on the life of Ayrton Senna in a beautiful and moving piece of film making that should momentarily appease those who think TG isn�t serious enough these days.
Yet strangely, all these genuinely excellent items are slightly dwarfed by the appearance of two Hollywood A-listers in our funny little Kia.Eight years after we first giggled at the idea of a star in a Reasonably Priced Car, this feels like we�ve finally achieved a small but important ambition.
