Devin Sneed It seems like it was scripted, but then there's elements that dispute that. For instance, they couldn't have put the whole banner on one train car as it would block the doors that exit from that car. Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong; the slogans may be intentional but the placement was not, who knows.
Nova Placement was intentional because the cameras were perfectly aligned and ready for them ripping off, they knew that was going to happen. They may have took them off afterwards but it's Top Gear so they may not
@Ilyas AitAkki those systems work by being able to say which car signalled the break system (this is very easy to implement), you are assuming 0 people see you pull it, 0 people see you are near the emergency break system, and there are no cameras working
Yeah, I bought the “small” hamburger and “small” fries and it was still nearly $12. I didn’t even buy a drink because I was taking it home with me. Still a pretty good burger though. Though, not something I would normally get over Cookout.
The reason for that is because it's referring to people who live in cities or towns that have rail services, including subways, el trains, etc. and that they might try to do something that stupid. I've seen a video of a teenager train surfing on a New York subway train. Does that answer your question?
Hüseyin Atai Esengöl home doesn't necessarily mean within a dwelling / building in which you call home, but also piece of land you live. You call your country home too, mate.
@Random Commenter - "Bolivia's Death Road". I remembered. That was scary. Along with the one where Hammond parked his SUV up on the slope of a dam. That had me twitching.
It’s great that the hosts always try to include the film crew in their antics. Made it seem like a big family. And yes, sometimes punching happened, but that’s about par for the course for most of my family gatherings, so…
I am ASTONISHED they were allowed to pull that stunt with the banner, leaning out of the open doors etc. I can’t even begin to say how extraordinarily lethal that was. 😱
That's India, mate. We are leaning out of open doors all the time. Although, I can't say the same about putting banners as we've never felt the need to do that.
Watch this UA-cam vid of Indian trains. ua-cam.com/video/hL7PHK94WKY/v-deo.html If you watch up to 3:30 you see them using the roof of the station as a second level platform to get on/off the roof of the train. They ride the roof of electric trains too.
Why do I feel like wherever these 3 go the United Kingdom actually had to owe an explanation or an apology to whatever country they probably offended lol
@James Smith Well for the massacres, genocide and bengal famines, etc. Plus it wasn't that the British wanted to improve India. They only improved the infrastructure so that they can better exploit the people. And that came at a high price tag. In the 200 years of the colonial rule, the Brits looted around $45 trillion in today's money. That's a huge amount. It could pay off whatever infrastructure they improved many times over.
I love that they always pretend like they had no idea what was going to happen. Jeremy, Richard and James are 12 year old boys in adult bodies. I love them and the show, it's the only show that makes me laugh till I cry. Thank God for Netflix because I don't get BBC America so it's the only place I can see Top Gear. I do wish they would get series 20 and 21 soon.
tsherwoodrzero Sorry to hear your Mom went into a coma. Is she alright? If not all my sympathy to you and your family. I only wish my Mom could have seen the show. She passed in '07 and we hadn't discovered the show back then. She would have loved it I know! I hope these guys continue with the show until they are so old that the only things they can drive are mobility scooters.
Renee Leighton Thanks Renee. In 3 days, it will have been one year since my mom died from the stroke that put her in a coma. Whenever I see the Hilux destruction videos, it reminds me of how my mom was: unbreakable
It would be dangerous if they did what they pretended to do. It's a show, professionally produced, as you can see at the end. None the less very funny!
So, they leave him at the Station "Durgapura" and their destination was "Jaipur". Durgapura is a local station in Jaipur only. It was made just to ease traffic on the main Jaipur Station. These two station are 7 km apart.
Classic. Obviously set up but still better acting here than the current stuff that is OVER acted. Also some pretty dangerous stuff, but occupational health and safety is probably null and void there lol. Good job :) Love these long feature episodes they did. Shame really they aren't still with the original producers :(
Yes, it did. They were on a "trade mission" to India to promote English products and were driving English cars. Hammond had an old Mini, Clarkson had an old jaguar and James had a bentley or something. Also, the worst special was Vietnam because it didn't even contain any cars.
David What made Vietnam good, was not the cars, it was the fact that it worked. It was fun, it was not trying too hard. Things were pretty much going on, as they went along. That was what made the first specials great. Things that happened were just funny, they did not try to be too funny and clever. TG stopped being about the cars, long before Vietnam. If you watch a TG special for the cars, you are watching them for the wrong reasons. They are about an adventure, not cars. If you want to watch a TG special about cars, you need to watch the roadtrips and races.
It is 29/12/2021 and I am watching Top Gear India Special on Dave, they have skipped/cut out the bit when wagons are detached. I feel sad. British TV is deleting classic fragments from movies for being "too inappropriate" for modern viewers, like that scene from Shrek when Princes Fiona head-butts Prince Charming.
Everyone knows that Top Gear is almost entirely scripted and staged these days but it's nice to pretend that it isn't. The reason the India special was criticised is that as funny as stuff like this is it is so obviously faked you can't suspend your disbelief anymore. Luckily I think they realised and the more recent specials have been far more believable.
windowssonic gaming You are either not older than 10, or USAsian. Do you honestly believe they randomly picked slogans that could end up so hilariously when being cut off AND would be cut in exactly the right place? TWICE ?!
Top tier fun for them and the viewers. This episode might be the best of all trying to apply a banner from a moving train lol. It's seriously risky but funny
"Don't try this at home"
Then what am I supposed to do with the Indian train I have at home?
Drive it?

Captain Athens might just be preferences. Or the fact I'm so cheap that the price affects the taste
Wow, attempting to put the banner on whilst the train was moving was spectacularly silly, even for Top Gear.
Even though I know they obviously survived india, I still nearly shit myself when that banner started getting yanked out of the train.
Yup...
Especially when you consider how many people die in these trains in India...
That's quite common in Asia where mass rail transports in urban areas are often painted with ads.
Nothing beats the one where Jeremy had to pass someone while on a mountain that could've killed him. My arse was twitching.
