More from Bob Geldof’s lap in the Top Gear Kia

He’s a Knight of the British Empire, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, immeasurably successful recording artist and best-selling author, but THIS is the pinnacle of Bob Geldof’s career – a drive around an unpopular part of Surrey in a keenly priced Korean hatchback.

By his own sweary admission, Mr G doesn’t like driving (or Mondays), but his pedaling skills earned him a respectable 14^th place on our leader board. A feat made more impressive considering he drives a Toyota Previa.

In this exclusive-to-TG.com clip, you’ll see some of his less successful attempts, the reason we had to buy a new Swear Bleeperizer and how Bob rates his own driving ability.

As per usual, you can share your thoughts on the lap – and the rest of the show – by visiting our cryptically headlined ‘post-show discussion’, which you can access by clicking on THESE BIG BLUE WORDS. And don’t forget to rummage through our behind-the-scenes gallery from filming.
