    Has that just come on TV???

    Baa ha ha, saw that ages ago, bloody brilliant episode! Easily the best TG to date
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    It was one of the few TG's that my wife has sat thru (she hates the program).

    Last night she was pissing herself.

    When Hammond fixed the galleon then stood up - putting in into the ceiling fan. Brilliant !!!!

    The plastic bag full of weeds jammed into Jeremy's electrics to stop a bad connection disconnecting was great. You don't see that sort of initiative from New Zealand motorcycle mechanics - well not the ones I use.

    My favourite part, it reminded me of something similar from one of the scary movie series.

    Now that was great television.

    I can never stomach Discovery or National Geographic documentary's on non western countries as they bore me senseless. Sure, a lot of it was staged and rehearsed but still bloody funny and good entertainment.

    As always, the camera work is amasing too.

    Haha Jeremy crashed, serves him right. I think Jeremy would of had more respect for a bigger bike (epic fail that would of been).

    But none the less pretty funny

    I feel the same way, if a guy like him can manage to ride a scooter, I can!

    I love TG and esp loved this episode, it had me

    That was primo, although I already had it on my portable hd... and prime was patchy, so waited for 7.30pm, then played it on my laptop, piped through the TV, just like a bought one!

    Strange how movies / TV shows etc seem more enjoyable when you watch it on TV, as opposed to just downloaded. Or maybe that's just me... oh well...

    And Vietnam really is an incredible place! I did a 5-day bike ride around the North 2 years ago with my brother... 2 guys and luggage on a 110cc single for 5 days!
