Default Top Gear Vietnam Special - BBC three - Now

It's nearly finished but this has been a classic...how do they get away with some of the stuff they do?

yeah, one of the best TG ever. but you think they really did the whole road trip by bike? not just sections set up for those nice camera angles?

I doubt it very much, but made some good Saturday Night viewing - not so for Jeremy when he came off and the camera died.

Also, who made the bikes into boats? I doubt it was them.

A lot of TopGear is staged, I too doubt they did the full journey as there would have been a few more interesting places in the final cut.

TopGear is an entertainment programme, it is no longer a factual program no matter what dribble Clarkson wants to come out with, and that episode was entertaining.

Knowing what I know about one episode (James May flying a light aircraft in a race), I get the impression the who thing is entirely scripted and the three of them are just actors.
