The inaugural episode of this ambitious two-part special sees Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May embarking on a mission to construct a bridge over the River Kwai in Thailand. Their first challenge, however, lies in traversing Burma, a nation largely inaccessible to Westerners for more than four decades. The trio must undertake this journey in three trucks acquired on a shoestring budget – vehicles that prove, to no one's surprise, less than ideal. What ensues is an epic odyssey mark
