Top Gear India special

[JimBR]

It is predictable, but you know that before you watch it. I enjoyed, better than bloody strictly come dancing and all the other rubbish the BBC produce!

regarding strictly ....i suppose you are too much of a 'man' to want to get close to sexy girls wearing almost nothing then ? ? ? 

If Anne Widecombe is your idea of sexy then fair enough

I just rewatched the first and best special they did, the north pole. It has emotion, humour and not so much buffoonery because it was so extreme. I liked how the pixelated man pushed clarkson in the ice cold water

I have this one and the USA trip on DVD, watch the north pole one a lot, infact, I'm going to watch it now.

Chris Harris now alleging that the TG response is fake. 

Did seem too understanding to be true. 

Would be nice if they didn't think they'd done any good though.

Just watched the india special and Im neither here or there on it........ But I will say this, Why destroy 3 nice cars? The mini was an immaculate cooper, its like when Jezza destroyed the EVO a while back, OK it belonged to a drug dealer but so what! Its still a fooking EVO. I really think the Top Gear team need to realise that ruining cars isn't what car lovers really want to see

I was very disappointed with the episode.  I'd say about 95% of it was scripted.  There were none of their trade mark races or tests as such.  I'd say the worst special they've done so far.

Fantastic! 5 whole pages before someone came up with the goods. - SCRIPTED REALITY - extremely expensive piss poor telly.. end of.

The Mini was definatly a waste looked mint not bothered about the other 2 sheds. Was funny though

I am not so bothered about it being scripted as any one who watches Top Gear knows by now it is scripted but for me the problem is the fact it seems to be the very same script for each show.

Buy 3 cars, meet up, slag each others car off, go on a long drive where they will either breakdown or something similar. James May and Hammond will bash each others car, Clarkson is always right and then at the end the cars are destroyed.

Like someone said above, why destroy the Mini Cooper? Was immaculate. Stupid to do that.

Used to really love Top Gear, but find myself enjoying the shows they present separately more interesting these days, like James May's Toys ect

They're not allowed to sell the cars after the show afaik (I'm sure they've said it before), so that's most likely the reason for destroying them.
