It's an entertainment show, that occasionally has cars as the focus.

FWIW, it was silly but i enjoyed the India special. Made me want to go up to Shimla again!
I know and i still love it! But this had almost no car focus whatsoever.

Typically the specials aren't about a particular car but more of a memorable car to each other.

Parts were dull and others dragged out. The food delivery service part (forgot the name) was dumb. Usually, they at least 'attempt' to fix something that isn't already perfect and fail. There was no point to it and it clearly never would have worked any better. Much of this seemed more scripted than any other TG show or special. In the end I did like and enjoyed the trio's antics. Should have only been 60 minutes long rather than 90. Even if it was the worst thing ever, I will continue watching top gear until it dies.

And hey, we can always compare it to the US TG and it will be exponentially better.
