I presume you are being sarcastic, I thought they handled the "environmental" issue very well last night - great television.
How can they 'handle' the issue? They are still frivolously burning oil to get to the ice cap and then across it
Not only burning it Clarkson managed to spill the guts of a tank directly onto it....
Some people would debate that...including climatologists who see no correlation between co2 and climate change but rather the reverse. I like to keep an open mind. There's compelling arguments on boths sides...as I've recently discovered.
On the show itself...was a good one I thought. A lot of people complain about the direction TG has taken. I myself like it though...it's more about personalities than cars. And when it is about cars it's about very fast ones. There's always Deals on Wheels for people who want motoring programmes about Fiestas!!

Absolutely.
Bringing light entertainment to millions should be banned if it means burning a few gallons of diesel.
A Toyota Hilux
I have to say I really enjoyed the show, the only thing that gets me is when Jeramy does these shows driving to Finland v ferry - he gets some amazing super car...
Why doesn't he try driving to somewhere in a Ford Cortina - and the other guys can fly/ bus/ train - possibly even walk to where ever...

Yeah - preferably over some cliff.
And who wants to see an amazing super car?
Btw, he was driving to Oslo when he raced the SLR against the other two.
They appeared to have a bunch of Icelandic ice driving specialists with them.
There was a t least two more hiluxs in the convoy.
So it was the usual British thing about how the two guys did it, but no mention of who actually got them there???
AFAIK, it was not the Geographic North Pole at 90 degress north, it was the magnetic north pole approx 82 degrees north that is somewhere north of Canada's Sverdrup Island.
There compasses were reading 78 degress odd when they were raving that they had reached the pole.
Actually in last few years it has been calculated to be moving further north and is about 82 degrees according to Geological Survey of Canada.
There is a big difference and most of the media blurbs seem to forget this salient fact.
Still good program but what happened to the jeeps and pickups?
Anyone fancy a trip to pick up few hi-luxs, one careful owner

I think in fairness he winds up a lot of people purely by opening his mouth.
