Nope a 90 min trek across India. New series starts in Jan too

The trailer looks good.

Can't wait lol

In HD too

 

[Dieselman]

Just shows how programmes have got shorter...

 

[clever dicky]

OMG 10 mins in and I cannot watch any more. Humiliatingly unbearable.
Shame

 

[d w124]

Ok-ish apart from the weeding part and shame what they did to that mini

 

[hk7]

Way too many set ups for my liking

 

[MercFanUk]

Loved it - don't care if the funnies were mostly set ups, they were hilarious

 

[Benzmanc]

Let's wire our horns to the brake lights

 

[Dieselman]

Not one of the best Top Gear episodes. it would have been better showing more of India and less stunts.

 

[tazco]

Disappointing....

 

[Merc Owner 2B]

OK in parts but a bit of a missed opportunity.

I wonder how many of the locals understand the "humour?"

 

[Benzmanc]

I'm a hardened fan, even watch all the repeats on Dave and have to admit it wasn't the best. There were some funny moments but not as good as the Bolivia and Vietnam specials.

 

[Dieselman]

I wonder how many of the locals understand the "humour?"

All of them, but seeing as there was a distinct lack of it they didn't get much to laugh at.

A bit childish. I remember years ago Clarkson doing a programme on Indian driving etc and thought it would be something along that line as it is a fascinating country
