In search of Top Gear's tank

This morning (1 Sept), Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and Captain Slow, James May thundered across London's Tower Bridge in a tank to promote their upcoming world Top Gear Live tour, organised by Brand Events. The tour kicks off at Earls Court on 30 October before moving to Birmingham on 13 November. It then travels to Dublin and from there, takes in 10 cities around the world.

To help promote the tour, Event Solutions - a division of Visit London set up to help organisers with some of the logistical problems of staging events in the capital - worked its magic to close off Tower Bridge to traffic, presumably so Clarkson didn't try and crush anyone on the way over. I was there to capture it all on video and this is my debut video blog.

Oh no, the blundering oaf is going to be driving a tank into various cities around the world. I can sense another war coming on...
