Top Gear tonight

[roadiewill]

Is the top gear tonight a repeat? Its called the 'Botswana Special', didnt they do one in Kenya before?

Top Gear: Botswana Special

Motoring magazine including road tests, news and features. In a Top Gear special, Jeremy, Richard and James are sent to Africa and each told to buy a second-hand car, which they must drive across the wilds of Botswana. Obstacles facing them include massive saltpans, treacherous rivers and reserves full of animals.

TV Guide says it's a repeat ? I have seen that one !

As I have managed to avoid Top Gear until recently (my daughter got me into watching it - some episodes are ok, others I can do without), almost every one on tv is one I haven't seen. Will probably give it a try.

It's a good one though, it is where they have the Beetle as the back up car and ''Philipa?'' (Hammonds car) sinks in the river as he tries to drive through it,

Don't be stupid, that's a daft name for a car.

Oliver on the other hand, is a perfect name for a car...

I love that African one, seen it about 4 times, and still it makes me laugh.

Oliver, BTW, is now starring along side The Hampster in Richard Hammond's Blast Lab, slightly science based gameshow, Saturday morning childrens TV....

Not that I wake up especially to watch it, you understand.

Saw it for first time last night. Beautiful place, and all the filters they use make it look even better than it really is! I lived in the south as a teenager so was disappointed not to see more of the south, but also amazed at some of the places I had never seen. Desperately want to give it all up and go back now!
