Fresh from live commenting the Doctor Who Christmas Special, it is time to turn our attention to a less time-travelling and more globe-trotting trio, as Top Gear celebrates Christmas with one of their special adventures. Instead of a TARDIS, they are taking their chosen cars from Iraq all the way to the birthplace of the Nativity in Bethlehem.

Expect lots of revving engines, spinning tyres, dust, and Jeremy Clarkson shouting at anything and everything. If you are watching the Top Gear special, why not join us here in this thread, so we can avoid spoilers for anyone wishing to catch a replay later in the day or week.

What better way to unwind on Boxing Day than with your favourite three petrolheads, an epic journey, and some leftover turkey (probably)? The show begins in just a couple of minutes - 8pm GMT on BBC Two.
