I'd have preferred more footage of them just driving through mountains, India is absolutely stunning.

One of the worst I've seen actually. Too over-staged, fake and the same old boring jokes  :sad1:

The driving scenes were enjoyable including the traffic on the dual carriageway   :surprised: but the garden party was just way too boring. After seeing the Ice Road Trackers driving through India on the mountain roads, Top Gear could have put a bit more effort into this special

The worst special I've seen from them  :sad1:

Come on guys it's not like you were expecting a BAFTA winning programme.

By their own admission it's 3 middle aged blokes cocking about in cars not Brideshead Revisited.  :confused:

Good thing I spent some time playing with a new gadget. It was so bad, even by TG standards, that I decided to go for a dump instead. Much more fun.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I have to admit it was a bit disappointing  and I had a strong feeling that it had all been done before...
