BBC 2 now, polar explorers.
Trust him to come up with that idea. That has to be one of only a few reasons to fit a tow bar

All that tyre stuff is old hat. As is the towbar toilet.
I though the dogs were the real stars in that - amazing!!
Agree about the scenery. Every time I have flown the route that takes you over Bathurst Island I have sat saucer eyed, gazing at that incredible wilderness landscape and wondering what it must be like to be at ground level.

A great programme, had me captivated and was on the edge of my seat when they were driving over the thin ice! Best comedy moment was when Clarkson had a bolt frozen to his lips!

cheers Dave..... 
Steve - it's worth a watch even though it's mostly staged.
My fav moment is where Clarkson shows his burned fingers to the camera, after he picked up a boiled tin of sommething from the primus... I'll bet that wasn't in the script....

enjoyed it - though JC was a bit of a twit driving it the way he did - it was so plainly gonna get broke within minutes.
I bet the mechanics were cringing.....

Am I the only one who thought it a bit strange that they didn't show Hammond arriving at the North Pole? 
Surely after an hour long program about a race to the pole, that's a fairly important moment?

What made me laugh was Clarkson belting through the deep snow and knackering the car, then May turns round and say we told you that there was imoveable ice in the snow and that would happen looking really cheesed off. Then when they fixed the car and set off Clarkson narrated we set off again wishing we took the experts advice

After the other 2 won, he probably didn't carry on. Too Knackered.
Best Tog Gear Challenge by far.
Best Bits:
Clarkson getting pushed into the sea.
Clarkson getting a Bolt frozen to his lips (and looking very worried)
Drinking G & T all the way to the North Pole.
Crossing the Ford on very thin ice. ( I wouldn't have done that)

Are you sh!tting me? Would you have quit getting so close to the pole? I dont think so, its a major achievment for anybody so after being put through all that off course you'd finish. especially as they probably got a chopper back knowing that lot.

My nerdy question - the HiLux seemed to be a 3.0D but it sounded like some kind of NASCAR V8! What was in that thing?!
Assume that has been made since Hammond had his crash - seems a bit daft to put him through all that so soon after it.

I would like to see the making of that Top Gear show, that much is certain. Loads of questions arise from what I saw. Most importantly, did Hammond make it, and how did they all get back?
