    great show, the ones with no studio crap are by far the best, must have cost millions to make.

    reminded me of that as i re-watched that one today.

    seemed to mix comedy with danger perfectly.

    They should just do these trips all the time, so much better than the tired studio format...

    heh Hammond did look geniunely scared to death in the Landcruiser. You can see the joins in a few spots unfortunatly (on the mountain raod one of them came to astop with a "problem" and you could just spot a camerman on foot tracking the vehicle as it its stopped, on the other side).

    I disagree. whilst i love these kind of episodes, if they done them all the time then they'd become tiring like you think the studio show has.

    Anyone who starts pissing on about scripting and all that crap can just feck off.

    That was the best tv I have seen all year.

    Probably the best episode of Top Gear in a long time.

    I am actually still reeling after watching it :eek:

    Yeah I probably preferred the Vietnam episode. Still a good hour and a bit of TV though.

    Best episode i've seen this year without doubt, as good as the Artic/Vietnam/Botswana/USA ones, which were all classics IMO.

    The only part of tonight's show I didn't like was Hammond hopping out of the landcruiser 'pretending' to have forgotten the handbrake and watching it roll down the hill, too staged, but apart from that a superb show, Christ I'd love to have a trip like that with a few of my mates.

    you'd enjoy the Long Way Round with Ewan and Charley - if you don't want a motorbike by the time it's finished, I'd be worried! (ignore the Long Way Down, cos Ewan's wife ruins it)

    Where to next? That's the Americas covered, Arctic, Europe plenty of times, Africa, South East Asia. Only place I can think of is Australia and I think it would be a bit same-y.

    I love the long way round! Although it gives me more of an appreciation for my car and less for a bike watching some of the horrible terrain they have to get through on the bikes, I'd prefer a Range Rover any day
