We know the Top Gear crew made a stop off in Israel while filming their Christmas Special, but we had a sneaking suspicion that Clarkson, Hammond and May wouldn't be sticking to just one part of the Middle East during their journey. That suspicion was confirmed with the release of a brief teaser showing the motoring trio in the back of a cargo plane. Where did they land? Somewhere in Iraq. The Challenge: Get from there to Bethlehem and "don't forget there are a few wars" along the way. Oh, and pick up some gold, frankincense and myrrh in your claptrap drop-tops. Hit the jump for trailer.

Wow Iraq, this one looks good haha

Dont freak out everyone....YES it is Iraq but its Kurdistan, Iraq. That region is as safe as Turkey and possibly safer than parts of Israel. It's fully controlled by the Kurdish army with no one entering the area without a special permission.


The only International airport in Kurdistan is in Arbil, Iraq (Biggest city in kurdistan). This should mean that they will start there and work their way through the mountains north through Turkey and come out at the other end in Syria and head South to Jordan and cross to Israel.


This should be some great fun...

I don't think anyone seriously thought the Beeb would send three motoring presenters into Baghdad.

I wonder what's with all the hate towards the Stig? I read his bio and from his point of view it wasn't his fault that he got outed. I thought they were all friends. Unless this hatred was made up by the producers :dunno:

Just watched it on re1ease. Good episode. Although I've got to say, I was so disappointed at the start when I didn't see a Lamborghini. I was almost certain that Hammond would have lamborghini lp670-4 sv or something like that.

Wow, that drag race was hella close!

+1. But Hammond loves the Beetle lol. Loved the New York race btw. Pretty neat stuff!

haha I don't think that drag race was real. Well, the race was real but the finish shown to us was not.

The fact that a book is out is what pissed them off.

I'm pretty sure they are cashing in with drama but a lot of interviews with Jeremy seems the hate is genuine.

Good Episode, boxing day would be epic.

lol when James ask the obvious about the flavor of pussy energy drink.

great episode!

The Nintendo DS part was hilarious, and the dubbed version of top gear playing when they were in the hookah place was hilarious too...did not expect that bombshell ending though..

Last scene is what made Top Gear UK great. I can't see other TG spin off to pull that off, or even try to.

I think I was disappointed because it wasn't all that funny. The episode itself was decent and the whole premise was enjoyable it was just light on laughs.

Enjoyed the first episode back, the special was a bit depressing really, only part I laughed at was when May hit his head :nut:

Those tweeter comments are funny, some people have to take it so seriously, 'Death to America' WTH! ?
