Bottle Episode: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Top Gear]]'' occasionally has an episode where the presenters tell us they've "spent all the money" and can't afford their normal mix of insane stunts and expensive cars. This is used as much ironically as straight up - what follows is either even more insane stunts with cheaper cars or the most expensive cars of the season.

** An example is Series 14, Episode 07, where Clarkson claimed the budget had run out and he had to do a sensible review of the BMW X6 - and then filled the film with gratuitious [[Scenery Porn]] shots of him and the car all around the world. It started on a quiet English lane, but the fun began when Jeremy makes a note of the two-part clamshell glovebox.

* ''[[Homicide: Life On the Street]]'' won an Emmy for "Three Men and Adena" which was almost entirely two detectives and a suspect sitting talking in the interrogation room. "Night of the Dead Living" from the same season similarly stayed in the station house.
