Top Gear

[phazey]

Did anyone encounter the cast or crew of Top Gear for filming of the special for the new series?

I got to stand behind them whilst they filmed the opener for the Vietnam special, so wonder if anyone who resided in Yangon also got close.

(FFwd to 1:21 to see what i mean on iplayer for ep1).

wonder if they could handle a Topgun Thailand running tests of a ferari in ChiangMai traffic and a Maserati in Bangkok peak hour.

From BBC's official website:

"Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are on a mission to build a bridge over the River Kwai in Thailand. However, in order to that they must first drive across a country that has been largely closed to Westerners for over 40 years: Burma. Futhermore, the trio must make this trip in three lorries that have been bought 'sight unseen' from the internet for a limited budget. Unsurprisingly, they are not quite as the trio might have hoped or expected. What follows is an epic journey of beautiful scenery, regular adversity, ongoing malfunction and the constant bickering of three badly dressed buffoons."

Watched the first episode, EXCELLENT!!!

Interesting how vehicles are right hand drive and drive on the right.

So people getting on the bus must do so in the middle of the busy road.

And the new capitol ghost town!!

Worth a watch.....http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b03yb69g/Top_Gear_Series_21_Burma_Special_Part_1/
