stoickov-ivan Boys are showing how hard is to transport goods in Africa even 200 mi from shore. They want to say do not sent food to people in Africa, built them roads and they will do it them selves. This is a perspective which you will not see anywhere else. There is no luxury or even new cars in video.

machina22 As others have noted this is not the best special they've done, but importantly it *is* a special - yes, finally, at the end of the season, we get treated to one.How much I've missed the hour-long specials that save us from the tedious and unfunny introductions to 'conversation street' and the infinitely worse celebrity segment. I always thought, throughout the first season, that although the celebrity segment wasn't in the least bit amusing, it was at least short. This season it's like they're punishing us for daring to complain about the celeb section by making it take up about a third of each episode's running time (ergh!).So if only for that reason alone the special gets extra marks.As for the merits of the special itself, well the concepts they came up with were of course fatuous (even for the trio's standards), but people taking offence to the special are either being entirely too delicate or are missing the point that it's meant as a (very good) parody of celebrity engagement with world poverty/hunger.The other reason specials are so much better than the other content on GT (and TG before it) is that it allows for spontaneous comedy, rather than the canned, scripted gags that usually fall flat throughout the rest of the show. So they were plenty of moments of off-the-cuff humour that are the best parts of the trio's routine. The location and journey wasn't as good as most other specials, and the task didn't evolve as they progress, which is the episode's main weakness for me.Still, probably the best episode of the season, if only for the fact that it's an hour-long special that spares us from the worst parts of the regular episodes.

gopim Ok,it is clear that they are making fun of celebs who fly in and do some charity,get photos taken, and then fly back. I get it. And I don't expect these guys to be sensitive and sincere in their efforts, they always fail intentionally. However,this time it was not entertaining at all. The whole episode was monotonous. In previous specials, they usually did a more variety of things, there interaction with people other than themselves, a change in scenery. This was just the three talking to each other on a 200 mile trip, which was forcefully extended to seem entertaining.

Beni Bogosel I usually like watching these three, but today no... The first thing that put me off was the idea that, supposedly, they were trying to help some poor people, but deliberately choose to pursue stupid ideas. You do not have to be a genius in order to see that their means of transporting fish were all doomed to fail...I guess people like these three for the interaction between them, but that stops being funny when it's the only thing you see in the film. The culmination of the episode was that, after failing to do what they were planning, they left the poor village in a helicopter. The cost of that alone could have fed the village for quite some time, I guess... Best parts of Top Gear/The Grand Tour were those where they succeeded something interesting. It is entartaining watching someone manage to do something you can't do or can't ever afford. However, failing intentionally is just not funny.
