In the course of making its annual not-quite-Christmas special, Top Gear usually goes to a country you've heard of, such as Vietnam or India. This time, however, the since-when-has-Christmas-been-in-February special is from a place few people have heard of at all: The Republic of the Union of Myanmar. You might know it better as Burma.
BBC's hit motoring show is more than just a show to review new cars. Top Gear is essential viewing. Not just for petrol heads, it also has a huge following amongst people with little or no interest in cars - both male and female. This is due to the show's irreverent approach to motoring, the humour and the priceless chemistry between the show's presenters - Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, with special appearances from the tame racing driver, The Stig.
Don't be fooled, this is not another boring technical car programme, there is carnage, mayhem and fun, with less stuffy mundane car reviews. The boys have races and do crazy things with cars - anything from driving them into swimming pools to setting them on fire!
