Ricky49 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Wouldn't worry too much Brendan, i love top gear but it was a bit disappointing and quite predictable. I thought it wasn't as good as it usually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Not as good as I'd expected, but then the specials are all the same and a bit boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanc Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Just watched it and compared to Antartic or Bolivia special this is just ... meh... It's alright I guess but I don't really feel the "wow" factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's 'cause I've watched them all a few times and they're a bit boring now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideexitsupra Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Only really laughed at the winching "problem". Was predictable as others say, but what part of TG, special or the series, ever deviates from the format? I can think of far worse ways to spend an hour and a half.

ellis Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Shockingly set up and all over hammed. Best bit was the straight six cricket as it seemed like the only genuine bit. Even Hammond's winching 'incident' was just cringingly scripted and so badly acted I was embarrassed for them. Shame lads - time for a rethink methinks!

jonathanc Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Well I could live with (most) of the scripted stuff as that's expected but I wish they could've put more effort into the "challenge" part. The Vietnam special felt like a challenge and so did the Bolivia and Antartic ones. This one is well cringe-worthy with badly scripted/acted bits. More focus into actual challenges and focus more on the cars (or the exotic cars showing up during the "party" at the embassy or some exotic beauties there ;P) ... I've been slightly let down but I guess that's because I had too much of an expectation for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Thanks for the reviews lads. I'll know not to bother with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Agreed. I got halfway through and was like... Where is the challenge. Still had a few lol moments though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Was funny at points, though everyone should know the score now & everything is pretty expected. *SPOILER* The bit where the big Lorry hits him half way through when he was talking was hilarious and then the dude just driving off!

Lbm Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I like TG but started falling asleep after about 20 mins. So I flicked over to Itv's It'll Be Alright On The Night with Griff Rhys Jones. I like him but used to particularly enjoy Dennis Norden. In the end I opted for The Thing on my Sky planner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Predictably boring and badly contrived as per usual, they should stick to testing cars and making contrite, sometimes funny remarks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 After watching the top gear special, my conclusion was the opposite of the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
