I very much doubt that Hammond and a crew were up that mountain for 4 days.

My thoughts exactly, the continuity errors pretty much confirmed it, Hammond getting more and more stubble then I think day 3 he's clean shaven followed immediately by 3-4 days worth of stubble...

Just how does a continuity error prove anything? It just proves that the editing was poor, nothing else.

There were a few continuity errors, or, probably more accurately, editing errors.

I remarked after one shot that they had fitted snow chains...they then showed them fitting snow chains a minute or so later.

Good entertaining episode however.

Stig took that F150 around the track, it's a little messy but looked a lot of fun

that's fking hilarious!!!

I've just finished watching this one - loved it. All of it. Great trucks (I would *love* a Raptor, even over here in the UK), fun story, and Gillian Anderson just gets better with age.

there appeared to only be one small tent - to serve 4 adults? No likely.

Of course there is also the possibility that they deliberately didn't film the separate crew tent?

While it's not the point did anyone notice that the argument for 2 pickups was flawed - they were crew cabs.....

I noticed that but didn't think it was worth mentioning. It was clearly just a tenuous excuse for a "race" of sorts.

This is exactly the sort of content that should go into a "Top Gear Extra" show on BBC3.

Perhaps you find Jeremy Clarkson more attractive.

Do the guests on Top Gear have to be attractive, as I thought it was a motoring program, and not supermodel of the week show.

I got bored with watching Hammond ranting and raving and peeing in the snow, but enjoyed the pickup trucks.

I don't think so. I replied to people raving about her.

PMSL at that. I laughed at the first corner and didn't stop. Powersliding the FollowThrough .

Stig must have been in hysterics inside that helmet.

Best bit of the programme - and they didn't show it.

Just checked out the price for one of those watches, 12 Grand!

You can get them for a lot less than £12k. I was tempted by one in the past but I wouldn't be able to stop myself from pulling the emergency beacon, so I had to turn my back on it

Would you really want Clarkson and May coming to rescue you.

For 12K I would expect Gillian Anderson, and Fox Mulder

[Turbodiesel1976]

Sat beside Gillian Anderson on a flight to Belfast several months ago. She is absolutely tiny and wears nice perfume

[groundcontrol]

Not sure why people are getting so bent out of shape about the Hammond on a mountain set-up. I loathe TG scripted set pieces as much as the next guy but that part was insignificant I barely paid attention to anything other than the pick ups. As long as they don't do another dire ambulance episode I'm happy.

Slightly off topic, but a new X-Files series return is looking promising.

I'd rather Fox Scully.

Am I the only one wondering what the filming vehicle was that spent all it's time in front of James May? I mean that didn't get stuck did it?

[Robbo66]

Course it wasn't staged and all very real. I've also some Snake Oil for sale.

I was wondering that too, what camera vehicles were being used.

Hilux?

They usually use full fat Range Rovers.
