enjoyed it, but not the best special i've seen.
I've quite enjoyed some previous specials but didn't get to the end of this one. The thing that struck me was the attitude to driving fast in a city. Clarkson was deliberately trying to get the back end of the jag to step out whilst racing the train.
I know they push the driving in other shows in this country (and I like pushing on a bit when conditions are right)but it's always in deserted country roads eg Isle of Man. It was like, "well it's only a city in India" so normal rules of social conscience don't apply. I'd like to see his reaction if people were driving like that around the cotswold town where his kids walk on the pavements.
After the big C's recent comments, I couldn't bring myself to tune in...if I wanted to watch three c**** messing about together, id subscribe to babestation.
LOL at hoodie!
I'm normally a big TG fan but that was garbage last night -
It was quite embarrassing watching them being deliberate idiots. Not for nothing did JCs nearest matest say "don't go to India" - its probably the only sensible thing he's said in 2011.
Admittedly when they slowly winched the front off the hairdressers mini I did laugh.
Sadly no one has seen it as entertainmnet , funny, etc, and gets people talking, most of the above are negative though, jealousy probably.
a definite disappointment compared to what they could have done.
Rhod Gilbert and Greg Davies did 'worlds most dangerous roads' a few months back on the Beeb that was far better

Good family viewing. Not the best of the specials but still had us laughing. The filming of top gear is wonderful, so even if the three buffoons offend then the cinematography is some of the best out there.
I'm reminded of an ancient British saying - "**** you if you don't have a sense of humour." Needless to say I enjoyed it and found it funny. No need to over-intellectualise it all chaps. And chapesses.
Having a sense of humour is a broad expression.
Is enjoying "Last of the Summer Wine", "My Family", "Top Gear" having a sense of humour? Possibly.
But it's not one I share. I find them all painfully obvious, hackneyed and cringing.
Project you seem to be confusing jealousy with opinion...I choose not to watch as in my opinion its no longer worth watching...im sure its entertainment to many...just not me anymore.
Thought it was very poor this year

But my opinion is that a lot of folks are jealous of 3 well paid presenters, having fun, driving different cars, and travelling to exotic places.
So they find variuous reasons not to watch.......
Oh, I'm not jealous, just dissapointed and bored.
OK, its getting a bit long in the tooth, obviously very scripted but I genuinely thought the "straight six cricket" was ace.
Shame they ruined that mini though.

See that sounds quite good, but then when I hear that title it makes me think of:

Seems as if JC, has now upset the indians, with toilet jokes and the toilet seat on the boot of the jag.
Just who hasnt he offended at sometime.
I was disappointed with it.
Most of the gags were just repeats of ones done (better) on previous TG programmes, the picking on James May is getting really boring and some of it was plain irritating, especially the garden party. The only proper laugh it got from us was when the trains separated.
Watched it with my wife, my brother and his fiancé and my parents who are all TG fans and we all agreed it was pap.

Or maybe people just think it's crap. I think Strictly Come Dancing is crap but I don't think it means that I'm jealous of any of the people involved.
And saying "Lighten up, it's just entertainment" doesn't mean that the bar should be lowered.
