Thanks for letting me know what got you into Top Gear! I know the first epsode I watched was from season 12, midway through the season. My dad had some devine inspiration to record a TV show he had watched more than 9 years ago when we lived there. So glad he did it.Hey now! I got hooked on Top Gear specifically because of the Vietnam special. I'd never even seen an episode before then.
Yeah, I see what you mean. I would definatly put on the second list almost all of the specials, as they really have minimal technobabble and top-notch humour.I almost think we need two sets. Top Gear for gearheads and Top Gear for people who didn't know they liked cars. The former should be episodes that open with really stellar reviews and the latter episodes that open start with humor/challenges. If you don't catch someone within the first 5 minutes, you've probably lost them.
I won't call this discussion closed, but I think I'm going to put them up for the Vietnam special first, followed by a normal episode. Maybe something out of season 10?
