  • Its was a pretty meh episode... not one of the greats.

    Knew it was going to be a baby stig too.
  • Very predictable, most of it seemed very scripted.

    Still quite entertaining, funny at some points. And May getting knocked out seemed pretty serious, was shocked by the amount of blood.

    All in all a bit meh, some of the other specials have been much more epic.

    i agree, but still enjoyed it
  • Used to love watching the challenges, especially bolivia and america.

    sadly it looses its affect when you realise it is scripted....

    Good.Very good.

    But admitedly not one of the greats.

    Hardly the Polar one, or the Prit car 24 hr, or the Bolivia one, or the Amerrica one....
    I like bikes and stuff
  • This programme is now SO far past its sell by date what a waste of time and money.
  • Don't watch it then!
  • B~gger,why didnt i think of that!

    I don't agree.

    What Toby said. Was no Vietnam episode!
  • Vietnam is probably one of my faves! Due to the fact that they where on bikes, so it was something a bit different for once. All the other challenges are getting a bit the same.

    Apart from the polar one, that truly was epic.
  • i liked the races... James may in his washing machine v clarkson in the veyron was very funny :D

    Was a very good show and May getting knocked over was very funny (yes I know I should not

    all in all I enjoyed it better than a lot of the crap on TV

  • May's fall was pretty funny, until they showed all the blood on the floor :shock:


    But knowing top gear they probably had some fake blood and just splashed it around to make it seem worse than it was.

    i thought it was entertaining enough but i find the staging and acting a bit tiresome now.

    the end was particularly websters.
  • The ending was so blooming obvious.

    Don't be a tit :roll:
    They have scripted set-pieces, the rest of it is all either ad-libbed or genuinely are stupid things they do whilst filming.

    I was only kidding, that is about the only unscripted bit that was in the whole show and actually seemed pretty serious for once! Just something that doesn't happen in top gear very often.

    Top Gear?! Surely not!?

    I know, I know. This one just seemed worse than previous episodes.

    Having watched it again the other night it didn't seem as bad though.

  • It seems to get more infantile each year. I watch it to see the motors, and try to blot out the three presenters, that become more anal about their own character images each year. If Hamster tries to get any younger, he might as well drive a pram in a nappy! :?
