[While playing a game of ice hockey]

Jeremy

Hammond, in the sin bin!

I can't believe I got sin binned, for what?

Jeremy

Go on ITV, and you get sin binned. It's that simple.

[voiceover] With me shackled, Prime Time bought the scores to 5-4.

[scoring a goal] Yeah!

Oh, come on, ref!

Jeremy

Hammond, you may rejoin...

[Hammond drives a few feet forward]

Jeremy

...and that's the end of the game, everybody!

Jeremy

Richard Hammond has been given Matty McNair, who is one of the world's leading Arctic experts. Me? I've been given... him.

[Jeremy points and he pulls up to James May]

Can I make it absolutely clear, here, now, that I'm only here because the producers said I had to be. I don't like snow, I hate being cold, I hate outdoor pursuits, I hate the idea that I've got to "push my body to find the limit," I can't stand this stupid clothing that makes this rustling noise when you move all the time, and I hate the zips, and the toggles, and all the pockets, and that and I hate your stupid truck.

Jeremy

[shushing James] Listen. If we make it, look at it this way: you will be the first person ever to go to the North Pole who didn't want to be there.

[at the Cold Weather Training Centre in the Austrian Alps]

DDoctor

Should we go straight to the frozen penis?

[An image of a frostbitten penis is shown on screen, the three react in horror]

DDoctor

He'd been walking with it hanging out of his trousers.

How do you walk with your willy hanging out?

DDoctor

Which comes down to organisation and teamwork.

Well, it's more than disorganised!

Jeremy

It's a good job he didn't do it on the London Underground -- he'd be arrested for permanently getting on public transport with it hanging out...

[at the Cold Weather Training Centre in the Austrian Alps: after the Special Forces soldier pushes Jeremy through the ice]

SFSpecial Forces Soldier with the pixellated face

That's it. Pull your self out. Pull yourself out! Come on! Put some effort in! Don't stay there all day! Drop the poles!

Jeremy

[confused] How dare you...

SFSpecial Forces Soldier

Hands above your head, hands above your head! HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD! Okay, roll in the snow, roll in the snow! ROLL IN THE SNOW!

[Jeremy does so]

Roll in the snow, Jeremy. That will make you much better, rather than a big pink fluffy towel.

That looked awful.

I'm... I'm staggered.

Do you know what though, I like to think of us as a unit on Top Gear, and as a unit we've done that test.

Jeremy

I admire Hammond for doing what he's doing. I admire all Arctic explorers. But I think the time has now come for the world to say let's see how easily we can get to the top of Everest. Let's see how easily we can get to the North Pole. I think we could forge a career as the world's worst explorers. [voiceover] Surprisingly, James was ahead of me on that one.

What would really make it nice would be a gin and tonic. Would you like one?

Jeremy

What?

A gin and tonic.

Jeremy

Yes, I would like a gin and tonic, but we can't have a gin and tonic because we're in the Arctic Ocean.

I'll make you one.

Jeremy

What?

[James produces the necessary items and ingredients]

Jeremy

Hahahahahahaha! You've got gin!

I have.

Jeremy

And because we're in international waters there's no drink-driving laws.

Exactly.

Jeremy

Got any ice? [looks around him and starts to laugh] That's a stupid question, isn't it?

Could you just slow down so I can slice the lemon for the gin and tonic?

Jeremy

Now this is Arctic exploration.

[Cooking in the tent with James producing gourmet food from his hidden stash]

What would those salmon eggs go really well with?

Jeremy

Well, a crisp white, but, um, we can dream on about that.

Like a Chablis really.

Jeremy

Yes. So do we get... [James produces a wine bottle] Nooooo, nooooo, James! [breathes in heavily] Look what he's got! Wine! I haven't had any for days!

I knew you'd like that.

Jeremy

A week in Resolute and three days on the ice just surviving on only gin!

That's very flat over there...

Jeremy

James, we're out.

[the two get out and dance around happily]

Jeremy

[rejoicing] We've made it! [lies down on his front] It's flat! It's so smooth, and no more going up and down...! [groaning] Oh...

[voiceover]

Jeremy

It had taken three days of almost non-stop driving, but this incredible machine had breached what the experts had said would be an impregnable wall. It had taken on the impossible... and it had won.
