Sweep stakes on how much casual racism and then complaints there'll be. Laughing

Was alright, not the best. I feel like watching all the old specials like Vietnam, South America, etc

Poor Mini Sad

The size of crowds / lack of crowds really did highlight how set up everything was in this one. I know it is in them all but this one was painfully noticeable. It's basically just a crap sit com these days with repetitive jokes and a predictable plot.

As a fan, and someone that shamelessly went to Vietnam for a month based on nothing other than TG's representation of it, I have to agree.

It really did seem like a case of 'so, where can we film next? Err, India?' and that's about as far as the plot went.

Full of nothing but the same old gags.

A laugh in places but not a patch on the others.

Believe me in India they tend to crowd round any camera/foreigner Laughing Even on Ice Road Truckers it was the same. Was still a kind of boring episode though.

May's Brake/horn was funny though Laughing

To be fair makes him likely to still use the horn less than most locals from what I've seen on Ice Road Truckers.

They should just hire Bill Oddie and rename the show "The Goodies", after all its just clowning in cars nowadays.

I still think the Polar expedition episode takes some beating. Was tragic what Hammond did to that Mini Cooper Sad

It was on in the background and I was half paying attention to it - it just served as a reminder to me why I never bother to make the effort to tune in to Top Gear - just the same old ha-ha-ha-hilarious jokes being recycled once again.

The mini is a fairly commonplace motor, even nowadays - the tragedy was the Jag IMO. I'd have loved to have that in my garage.

Absolutely terrible!! Top Gear has gone to absolute shit. It pisses me off what they've done.. it's basically saying that the UK are stupid enough to enjoy the staged shit they're pumping out. I don't know why I bother. FUCK YOU TOP GEAR

Exactly, so when hammond pulled that U-turn and all the lunch fell of the roof the fact the street was totally empty of traffic and people make it look like he was suddenly on a film set.
