Iraq

That is going to need one big ass security team, say what you like about Clarkson and Co but they have some balls, I wouldn't step foot in Iraq for entertainment or work.

I'd have loved to have seen the insurance for that trip!

"Yes, i'd like to organise trip cover for three well-known TV presenters and a film crew to travel across a couple of war zones, retracing the route of the three wise men as told in the bible. Oh, by the way, they'll be doing the trip in open-top cars......."

Yes, I believe so.

PH was on the money as usual.

I guess if they can't get insurance, they self-insure.

i.e. the BBC underwrite the risk.

At least it looks like they have a good chance of doing something to deeply offened the religious element who will be looking for a moan.

Do you think stopping in Jerusalem and taking a piss up against the Wailing Wall would do that?
