as the title says, apparently there is a new TG special on the way, due out sometime before the end of the month.

anyone able to shed a bit of light on it.

the only thing I can seem to be sure of at the moment is that its a TG 'special' which only Hamster is presenting, this worrys me slightly as his bits are usually the hammiest most cringeworthy of any of these specials.

Still tho it may just be enough of a Fix of TG to keem me ticking over til they eventually do something together as a team

Ugh...pass

Tzar Chasm

that was my initial thought on the subject, but hey, its gonna be a longtime til we get another fix, and even a bad fix is beter than going cold turkey.

ya never know tho, it might rise above mediocrity

Working Lotus Espirit sub car..... Reminds me of the cross channel ToyBoata etc...

Still, i'll be watching it. Hammond may ham it up a lot more than the other 2 lads, but getting to see 50 years of bond cars... it'd be worth it.

Wonder if they'll have the 2CV from "For Your Eyes Only" or will it be the 'Q' cars?

Although given no proper backstop behind this and UK gun laws I suspect that is a replica firing blanks.

Its on MONDAY 29th! 9 pm.

Duration: 1 hour

In a special edition of Top Gear, Richard Hammond celebrates 50 years of James Bond films with a look back at 007's legendary cars. He also talks to Daniel Craig and Sir Roger Moore, gets exclusive access behind the scenes of Bond's latest adventure, Skyfall, and pays special tribute to 007 by attempting to turn a Lotus in a fully working submarine car.

it's on my Sky+ App on the phone now. I'd say it should be on the planner.

Saw Skyfall over the weekend and it's ok, entertaining rubbish as all bond films are, but the moment that the Aston martin is seen for the first time there was a gasp of admiration from the audience, helluva of a car.

I enjoyed that, even the underwater car worked (though for how long is open to question!)

I thought it was pretty good, the bit with the old stig was funny. The 'invisible' transit van and the underwater car were interesting.

Tzar Chasm

pleasently surprised by that myself.
then again most of us watched it with low expectations, but it couuld have been a disaster, so i'm very happy about it.
old stig was interesting, love the comment about the shirt.

overall i'd give it a solid 7/10

This Bond Special of Top Gear is on again tonight on BBC3 at 8pm if anyone's interested

Saw it the first time, bored the arse off me. To be expected from hamster on his own though.
