Top Gear faked

Our man in Havana · 2010-07-19 21:46:12

Just wondering after last nights show with the motorhomes, was it all faked. I was discussing this with a mate and he reckons they got a special closure of the M3 and A303 so they could film the wagons on the open road. I wonder how do they get around the police with those modifications?

Does your mate really think the cops would allow a section of Motorway to be closed off, then TG fill it with "staged" traffic? They've had a budget cut not a budget boost!

I don't think it's THAT staged... Yet... Rumour has it next year they're going to make the whole show with a green screen next year
