Among some of the more notable moments were Car Skittles; a stunt where the guests had to drive on to the back of a moving lorry, before letting them all drive a Ferrari – with a bathtub of water attached to the back which they were not allowed to spill. They were asked to race in a variety of motor-esque machines, from the aforementioned armchairs to Formula 1 cars. The final round of each show, between the two top-ranking guests, features the use of the car cannon in attempts to hit various things. The show originated as a one-off special of the popular [BBC Two](/source/BBC_Two) show, *[Top Gear](/source/Top_Gear_(current_format))*, and was produced, as were a number of other television specials, in aid of charity [Comic Relief](/source/Comic_Relief) for [Sport Relief](/source/Sport_Relief) in 2004. It was later turned into a series, presented by [Dougie Anderson](/source/Dougie_Anderson). ## Episodes and participants - *This list is incomplete (episodes 3-10 are missing).
