Lasted 15 mins...... so predictable. Clarkson drives off in a rush, May is pedantic and Hammond comic. This has run its course and one programme too many. Disappointed

Absolutely stunning scenery in northern India. I was very amused when the front of the Mini was pulled off trying to winch the Roller. It may be slightly predictable, but it was definitely worth watching.

You have to watch it knowing some of it has been staged

For real? We guessed what the banners were going to say after the inevitable rip long before it happened.

I enjoyed about 5 mins total and felt I was watching out of obligation. Sad, but true.

Driving down the dual carriageway in the dark looked very scary indeed.

Good idea mate but I'm not overly keen on watching tv programes on a laptop.

Yep, agreed. Like others, I do wonder if this "format" has run its course now, but there are some funny bits - I loved the cricket match thing, for example. Plus Clarkson's car blaring out classic Genesis, tee hee.

Better than not at all!

Have you got an xbox or a PS3, or does the laptop have an HDMI port?

I missed this.

Then remembered that I can watch iPlayer now I am back in the UK so started the iPlayer on my PS3. Streams brilliantly.

Switched off half way through. Lost interest.

Went back to D&Ding in Skyrim.
