Bilge of the highest order 3/10.
Any news on what and where to get that suit Richard Hammond wore?
Being Asian (Filipino background), I had an inkling somewhere that they would go on about the scenery in Vietnam. Simply stunning in that regard. Asia, in general, is such a beautiful place, with, as Clarkson said, a mixture of modern technology and ancient cultural tradition.
What was the name of the island area where they ended the show (couldn't hear the name well from the ep)? People are really born, live their entire lives and die there? Amazing; I simply can't imagine such an existence; I have the desire now to see what that kind of life is like
The episode, overall, did seem forced at times; didn't understand the point of the "presents," and Clarkson's constant rambling about him hating bikes did get tiring.
I did like how they touched on Vietnam's past tastefully, sans the horrid and appalling USA bike. As TurnerGTX said, the beach scene with Hammond and the local did bring a lump to my throat as they were communicating about the war. Hammond's scene with the four kids in the village was also heartwarming. What kind of camera did he use there? Looked like a Nikon D3 or something similar (go Nikon!!)...
I'd give this ep an 8.5/10, but I round up to 9 for the poll.
from first page:Go to Hoi An in Vietnam and get one tailor-made. That, I reckon, is the only way.Any news on what and where to get that suit Richard Hammond wore?
The first thing I was going to ask on here was "where can I get myself a Green Hell t-shirt like Hammond's", but I found it just after it finished...

About two thirds down!
One is already ordered!
Question: In the Creadits they put the name Francis Ford instead of all forename: e.g. Francis Ford May, Francis Ford Hammond etc...
Anybody know why? Thougt they may have addicted the Episode to a Guy name Francis Ford but couldn't find someone suitable on Wikipedia...
Gave a 8 , don't ask exaclty why it was just not a 10 eventhought the country was extremly beautifull.
