It's easy to lose time wading through the endless videos on YouTube. It turns out it's quite a strange world out there where videos of people popping white heads and removing massive wasps nests gain thousands, some, millions of views.

They now had to get through Chernobyl as fast as possible without stopping. Alex Harrington

I was at that point late in the night and, after seeing a nest of wasps being flamethrowered to nothing, decided to click on a radio interview with Clarkson which had been recommended to me.

'Jeremy Clarkson's radioactive shoes' it read. Sounds better than the black head video above it.

The video, as you can see below, is an interview about the episode where the Top Gear trio ventured to Chernobyl. They each had a hatchback and was given the task to run out of fuel before they reached the radioactivity of reactor number 4.

Hammond and his Fiesta was the first to run out of fuel, so leaving him outside the danger zone, Clarkson and May soldiered on doing everything they could to increase their fuel usage.

Once they reached the security gate into Chernobyl, the mission changed for Jeremy and James in their Up and Sandero. They now had to get through Chernobyl as fast as possible without stopping.

Unfortunately, Jeremy's Up ran out of fuel.

This episode came under a bit of scrutiny due to its 'tasteless humour', and sprouted a few interviews because of it. During the interview above, it turned out that Jeremy hadn't followed all the rules...

He says, "... 28 years after the worst possible disaster, and I was wandering round in jeans an trainer shoes and you think - I know I'm supposed supposed to have thrown my shoes away but I haven't.

Apparently, you're supposed to dispose of your shoes once you leave the radioactivity of Chernobyl if they carry any radiation. Jeremy... well... didn't. And in fact, it turned out that he was wearing those very same shoes to the interview.

So Jeremy, have you still got the shoes? Wink once for yes or twice for no!
