Clarkson was saying recently that a version of the show was discussed for the USA but it would be impossible to recreate the mayhem as it would not go down well with the 'non-auto' American folk - they would not understand the underlying premise that it is meant to be anti-social, non-PC and a total send-up of everything and everyone... And the fact they barely escaped from the southern states with their lives kinda proves the point!! (Was that programme ever shown over there?? I rather hope not)
