The Top Gear Christmas Specials 2010

Yes you read that right there are two this year. Saw a trailer on BBC1 last night, the first is to be shown next Tuesday and appears to be a cross country race through America. The second somehow involves the team and their cars being dropped from a plane into Iraq to follow the path of the Three Wise Men.

Looks like the upped the ante this year and I can't wait.

As much as I'm for giving the US show a chance (and by all accounts, the last couple of weeks have seen a big improvement), that mere trailer got me a thousand times more excited. I mean, hell...I can't even drive but even so, I can't help but love this show.

Great stuff last night, everything from the drive around the USA to the way they handled the Stig's departure. Mind you considering how nasty they could have been i thought they went pretty light on him.

Line of the night though went to James May.

"At least we know his name now, Judas Iscariot."

Best line in the episode: James May: "Pour some Pussy on it" Jeremy Clarkson: "Yes, I've put the Christmas tree out with some Pussy!"

Loved it. A bit heavy on the scripting but it was consistently hilarious. I would also like to marry that 458. What a car.

Plus Danny Fucking Boyle?

Please sir, may I have some more?

There's more coming on the 26th! Another special. And yes...that 458 is sex on wheels. I want one.

Great episode. Funny moments a-go-go, gorgeous cars and Danny Boyle being rather adorable. Roll on the Three Wise Men, though speaking of that, a story today mentioned that poor old James fell over and cracked his head open while making it, bled a lot and had to have a brain scan..!

I preferred the SLS but agree that the 458 is a very nice Ferrari.

Fun show.

A DS is much better than myrrh anyway, right guys?

Clarkson walking on water is going to get some complaints as is Baby Stigmus but overall that was a great eppisode.

That was great and very funny.

Pretty sure May's accident was the only unscripted thing in it but I still throughly enjoyed it.

Pretty surprised to see the contrast in Iraq and Turkey as well.

The beginning of the episode was kind of infuriating. I kept thinking "You're in Kurdistan you twats, not Fallujah!" Which I guess was sort of the point of that section. But overall it was quite funny. The high point?

"Who am I?"
"You're a giant cock. And he's an insufferable little twat."
