over the kok river
the "top gear" presenters go across burma and thailand in lorries with the goal of building a bridge over the river kwai. after building a bridge over the kok river, clarkson is quoted as saying "that is a proud moment, but there's a slope on it." as a native crosses the bridge, 'slope' being a pejorative for asians.

top gear controversies
on 19 november 2007, it was revealed that a localised australian series of "top gear" would be produced by the special broadcasting service network in conjunction with freehand productions, bbc worldwide's australasian partner. this announcement marks the first time a deal has been struck for a version of "top gear" to be produced exclusively for a foreign market. no indication was given as to the exact makeup of the series, other than that it would have a distinctly australian style. sbs ran a competition to find hosts for the series, and in may 2008 confirmed that the presenters for the australian programme were to be charlie cox, warren brown, steve pizzati and a local 'cousin' of the stig. james morrison replaced charlie for the second series of "top gear australia". "top gear" host jeremy clarkson added, "i'm delighted that "top gear" is going to australia." it was announced that the nine network had secured the rights to the local and uk versions from 2010 on both its nine and go! (digital tv) stations. on 20 june 2010, it was announced that actor and comedian shane jacobson and top gear australia magazine editor ewen page would join a returning steve pizzati to present the programme which premiered on 28 september 2010. the australian version has received lacklustre reviews. eventually, top gear uk and top gear australia met up and challenged each other. top gear australia was cancelled in september 2011.
