Why don't they try reviewing a few affordable new cars for a change, instead of dicking about all around the world at the licensepayer's expense??

I've never had such a response to a TV program before. I literally wanted to get straight on a plane and go and experience it myself considering I had no desire to before that is testiment to the programme making (and the country obv).

In terms of the licensepayer's money....well they are producing arguably the most popular program on the BBC (non reality, or dumbed down type audiences)... and as such the entertainment takes presidence. But you'll probably get your wish as their budgets have been slashed....damnit

I thought it looked like a bit of a shit hole to be honest.

Someone should have phoned the US Air Force to tell them that Clarkson was on his way- they could have carpetbombed it for old time's sake.

Yeah it was a good prog. As was the other one where they bought wrecks to go across 4 American States starting in Miami, Florida and ending in New Orleans. The bit in the gas station was very funny watching some stupid yanks be .......... well stupid !

Shithole in the sense of not being as built up as the west, but still just the landscapes, the weather and the history... you don't have to live there lol

Because you end up with 5th Gear by doing that.
