Top Gear Special on

AMKC

Tonight at 8.30pm on BBC2. They are in Patagonia. This is the one where there was a whole lot of contravesy over the number plates on the car Clarkson was driving. Will be interesting to see is it any good been a while since there has been any Top Gear on.

Tonight will be like a regular top gear.

It'll be tomorrow night when things heat up and rocks are thrown

Let's hope it's a good one. Are they making a new series coming

It was never likely to be a coincedence considering who's involved

Well for one, it certainly made a lot of people want to watch it more now & any excuse to wind up the 'Argies' & only added to Jeremy's profile & the Beeb were never going to get rid of him, just a slap on the hand that's all.

This is pretty boring...not much happening other than driving in fields.

MuppetCheck

Bit meh tbh. Savage camera work and scenery though.

Ghost Train

The Lotus was pretty impressive on the rough roads, didn't seem to suffer much compared to the other two

Preset No.3

WORST. EPISODE. EVER.

Those Top Gear "specials" are gone too far for my liking. Watched the Burma one there the other night and really they have reached new levels of stupidity and incredulity. Building a bridge across some river? Ridiculous how the 3 of them pretend to do things like this at this stage...

I think that might be the joke..luckily, the one "they" finished tonight was dead level...

TheBody

Ah balls! I missed it. Sky plus for tomorrow night.

It would seem to me that this first part (second to follow) needed to be padded out a bit because the second part ended in them being thrown out of the country before they'd completed the program.

Mycroft H

I enjoyed that. That mustang is a shed of a car.

EB_2013

Maybe they're building everything up for tomorrow night's episode as I thought tonight's was a bit boring. Apart from the stunning scenery not much else happened.

Loved James's Esprit, still a stunning looking car today.

Tropheus

The Lotus surprised me. My dream car when I was a kid. It certainly earned its corn.

yawn

I predict they will achieve whatever their goal was with mere seconds to spare, whilst all looking like their lives are in real and imminent danger.

The 3 stooges are getting old, May made a half arsed attempt to get rid of his mullet Hammond is aging well though.

So is Rachel Welch.

It is what it is. A decent way to spend an hour even if we know it's very scripted.

Cheensbo

I quite enjoyed it, Really like watching these specials, out of all of them all I have to admit that the Burma special was probably my favourite.

Generally wouldn't watch a lot of the regular top gear episodes mind, I just like the specials for travel ideas, recently bought a bike and drove the length of Vietnam on it - a trip which was mostly inspired by the show!

People seem to forget that Top Gear is a motoring themed entertainment show, and not a motoring show. It's obvious that the 3 gobsh1tes cant do anything for themselves and a huge amount of background & support crew work goes into the show, but that doesn't matter, it's entertaining!

Looking forward to part 2

She's a stooge :eek: I thought there were only 3.

BUgGeR! Missed it, anyone know if its being repeated?

Jesus.

Missed it but just watched it on the Beeb's iplayer.

I'm with Cheensbo. I really enjoy these specials. They have a bit of "cars" and a bit of everything else. If it was purely a car show I'd find it boring. Those kinds of shows are only for real petrol heads. Top Gear is a show that people with zero interest in cars can enjoy along with those with an interest in them.

I liked the look of that old Mustang but it was a bit of a dog. Stunning scenery in that part of the World too.

Hachiko

that mustang like most american cars of that era (and new ones mind you) had the handling of a horsebox. The show was entertaining enough, part 2 awaits.
