Top Gear Vietnam Special 2009 – British TV at its best
Having grown up in the UK but lived in Canada for the last ten years I have a mixed experience on what is better in what country. For example no one in Canada can cook Fish and Chips like they do in the UK. You can order a salad as a main meal in Canada which consists of more than one leaf of lettuce and a sad looking tomato. The list could go on and on.
One thing Britain wins hands down, not just over Canada but probably the rest of the world, is the quality of the TV programs.
Top Gear is a program about cars, but done ‘British style’. This means it is oozing with sarcasm, silly immaturity and lots of great analogies. Their Vietnam Special is a classic, I watched it last night and was hooked for a good 45 minutes. It is honest, hilarious, informative and shows some of Vietnam’s stunning scenery.
Enjoy it.
