    “It seems that the reasons given by the BBC in order to obtain their visas to go to India did not disclose the true nature of the content of this programme.”
    So, British men gaining entry to India under false pretences, eh? Disgraceful, it would NEVER happen the other way around.

    In fact I think the TG presenters are nearly always quite respectful of the countries they visit, and show genuine pleasure at getting to visit those places. Except where they got attacked in the US Deep South...

    I think Jezza should apologise to all TV licence payers for producing this crock of tulipe.

    The program was typically Top Gear, but the formula is getting a little staid & predictable. It had some moments but on the whole was not funny.

    I think people are just getting far too sensitive these days. In fact, my friend Ranjit who owns the post office at the end of the road was so incensed he has stopped customers from buying their TV licence, while his brother a doctor in the NHS, trained in Delhi and paid 1/2 of what his English colleagues are said 'I am also disgusted, this type of humour at racial stereotypes must stop!"
