Cinnamon Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Did anyone else see this last night? It was just brilliant Vietnam looks like a wonderfully beautiful country, & the team travelling across it on motorbikes was hilarious. Some genuine laugh out loud moments,like when Hammond fell face first into James Mays lap And when the local Vietnamese people decided to spray paint everything pink............. I hope everyone else found it as entertaining as we did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhapsody Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 It was fantastic. But you knew I'd say that didn't you? Richard collapsing into James' lap headfirst over the pink motorbike made me laugh like a drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Got to get it on iplayer. I can't believe I have been converted to Clarkson this year. Must be getting old and nimby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye&Ant Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 really funny - loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 It was fantastic. Just how many empty beer bottles were on that table when May and Hammond were waiting for Clarkson?!! Do you think Hammond survived on rice and beer alone, as he was so reluctant to try any other foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Oh! - I deleted it from the planner before it recorded - it sounded boring I'd better set it back up for the Tuesday repeat then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 It was brilliant. Poor Jeremy it's about time Hamster and Captain Slow got their own back. I laughed so hard it hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 I also loved it when Hammond was fixing his big ship thing, & then it hit the celing fan (although I do suspect that was somewhat set up ) Didn't the country look amazing? I have wanted to go there since seeing it in the first Tomb Raider movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I didn't see it, but did watch the James May programme about Toys. Brought back loads of memories. I'm sure the Sindy in the blue anorak with white fur trimming was mine! I'll watch the repeat of the Top Gear Special. Sounds like it was good!

Guest Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I loathe JC but find him very funny, there's a paradox Ian bought me volume 3 in his series of rants (I've read the other 2) "For Crying Out Loud" and I can't put it down! The programme was very good, he looked good with a bucket on his head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I watched it and will watch the repeat as well as I thought it was great. Also enjoyed James May's toy programme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I loved James' hat made out of a collander (sp?) Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Just seen it. Hammond's got a right little temper on him hasn't he?! It was very funny and I want to go there now. The US special was on on Xmas day - available on virgin iplayer or bbc iplayer. That was brilliant too. They went through Alabama with graffiti on their cars saying 'Hillary for President', 'NASCAR sucks', 'I'm Bi', 'Man-love rules OK' and 'Country & Western is rubbish'. A petrol station proprietor called her mates in pick-ups and they thought they were going to get killed. Not joke killed - real killed. Why, when so many Americans have so much, are they still so often found to be such humourless, dangerous [self-edited - add your own disgruntled nouns]?

Chickvic Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Just watched this and found it very funny JC getting on the moped and trying to start it was hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I watched it last night! It was so funny. Especially when JC was blinding himself with his "15 Quadrophenia style mirrors in front of my headlamp" and when RH found they'd sprayed his motorcycle pink (including the tyres). OH came to see what was wrong with me. He thought I was having a fit. I nearly wet myself I was laughing so loudly! Brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
