It's obvious to me that these English bastards are indeed the old cast of Top Gear who have once again created dual-purpose amphibious boat-bikes and this time managed to propel themselves across the English Channel thus avoiding UK Border Agency passport checks.
Once in Italy, it's also quite obvious that Italian customs have stopped them and asked to check their papers before allowing them to board the ferry. Clarkson has gone mental and demanded that he is given 'right of passage' to Greece, it's likely that this request has been refused.
This probably led to James May asking the ferry company to impound it's own boat until the matter is resolved. Impossible! I hear you shout....not when you have an accent that harks back to the days of Empire I tell you.
While this fiasco was going on at the customs booth, Hammond sneaks onto the ship and begins a 7 hour Ouzo drinking session with the Greek captain and his crew, who, at the moment, need no excuse to sink a few shots.
This is bound to annoy the highly experienced global travelers. They have my sympathies.
