Didya notice on the tele listings that the Top Gear crew are doing a 'long way down' type trip on 2 wheels?
Could be interesting. Airs 28th Dec.

No doubt JC will be mouthing off about Motorcycles the whole way. Luckily Captain Slow and the Hamster will be miles ahead on the journey while JC is still figuring out how to use the gears...

Look forward to it. should be interesting!

On a similar vein, I see WOLF is coming back to join the new breed of Gladiators. Brilliant. Cant wait for that either, old Grandfather Wolf back with his annoying nasty attitude... funny as fek when he gets upset.

He could very well have failed it, I think this was filmed in Vietnam. :smt002

TG seems to have run out of original ideas of the quality of the mini down the ski run, or playing conkers with caravans etc. Now tending towards childish and repetitive in my view. But then Long Way Down was repetitive.

Thats the problem with TV. They get a good idea, but then flog it to death and beyond.

bloody funny

I laughed a lot

especially when Jezza joined the bikers - by falling off :)

Absolutely brilliant! JC's lack of respect for his machine was rewarded nicely when He fell off.

I thought Nam was quite original and wholly unrepetitive. Everyone knows Bikes will go anywhere (Long way up/down/round proved that) but would the 3 presenters make it.. JC without killing himself and Hamster and Captain Slow without killing JC!?

It was great TV

I always find Clarkson and friends give me a good laff! Little enough on TV that does that..........
