The Burma Special was a two-part special episode of the BBC motoring show Top Gear. The special saw the three presenters using a trio of derelict lorries to travel across Burma, also known by it’s modern name of Myanmar, to Thailand in order to construct a bridge over the River Kwai. The presenters meet in the capital of Myanmar, Yangon, in the People’s Square opposite Burma’s famous Shwedagon Pagoda. The Burma Special is the fourth Top Gear special to be filmed in an Asian country, after Vietnam in the Vietnam Special, India in the India Special, and Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, and Israel in the Middle East Special. The Burma Special was followed by the Patagonia Special which means that four special episodes of Top Gear aired consecutively in 2014.

One of the programme’s presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, has been critical of the BBC regarding the handling of the programme. In July 2006, the BBC rejected a variety of complaints regarding the criticism, claiming the producers and presenters choose the way they are covered, and that the BBC do not have any control over it. They argued that the presenters’ provocative comments are “an integral part of the programme and are not intended to be taken seriously. Top Gear was in negotiations with the BBC to move to Enstone in north Oxfordshire which was closer to Clarkson’s home in Chipping Norton. In December 2006, the BBC upheld complaints from four viewers after comments made by Jeremy Clarkson were considered to be homophobic references, had the potential to offend and should not have been broadcast.
In December 2009, it was reported that a gay couple had been denied tickets to see the show being filmed. Top Gear is in any way homophobic is completely wrong. During the first episode of series seven, a news segment featuring BMW’s Mini concept from the Tokyo Motor Show showcased a car that Hammond quoted as supposedly being “quintessentially British”, the only added feature being an integrated tea set. During the opening episode of series 14, the presenters were seen taking the Aston Martin DBS Volante, Ferrari California and Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 Spyder on a road trip to Romania. The Romanian Times also reported that Clarkson called Romania a “gypsy land”.
Complaints were also rife regarding Clarkson’s actions to don a pork pie hat which he called a “gypsy” hat, while commenting: “I’m wearing this hat so the gypsies think I am . The Daily Telegraph was hacked by a group of Romanians, who stated, “We are sick of being mis-represented as Gypsies, and thanks to Top Gear, have been publicly insulted”. During the second episode of series 16, the presenters mocked the Mexican Mastretta MXT sports car on account of it being designed in Mexico. James May introduced the car as “The Tortilla”, then remarked that he did not remember what it was called.
