These specials are fantastic. They have totally unnecessary effort put into them, they are (despite the safety procedures) life-threateningly unsafe, and are just great fun and prime entertainment

*grouping this with the 2008 US Special, bc it is not on letterboxd

Just binging Top gear specials at this point. Classic bit of British television, one of the first specials but really funny and enjoyable. Will be watching more specials for sure.
