JDM FD on Top Gear UK - Anybody Else Watch?

Top Gear UK this week, which is decent but not nearly as good as The Grand Tour, Chris Harris and Matt LeBlanc are in Japan and have to purchase cars at auction. Chris picks up an obviously repainted FD RX-7, and except for the offhand comments about reliability I think it was a very favorable segment for our cars. Anybody else see it?

Jalopnik did an article on that episode, said it was one of the best UK TG episodes in ages.

Of course, I just shut off BBC America (that is the most USELESS channel) so I can't stream it from their website or anything.

Overall it was one of the best done by the current group on TG UK. A really good look into the diversity of the Japanese car culture, as well as the uniqueness of the country itself.
