Not seen it yet, but have it recorded. Will watch it tonight I think as it is a family tradition that my wife and daughter leave the room and it is a "boys only" session :)

I love TG, but I just starting to think their specials format is really wearing a bit thin! Situations and jokes all heard before and there isn't much for car enthusiasts either. (bah humbug, perhaps it's just cos I'm a year older and therefore a year mote jaded ? )

Its all a bit slapstick Charlie Chaplin-esque when they do these "specials" but I suppose it was funny (ish). ;)

TBH these presenters are idiotic schoolboys, spewing out the same ole p1sh. They are rude, offensive and obtuse fools who abuse the cultures of the countrys they visit. Absolute clowns the 3 of them, but if you like circus acts then...........
I cant believe it costs me £145.50 for a TV licence and thats the best the BBC can come up with.
