She's just doing what all deeply unpopular leaders do and diverting attention away from more pressing issues by tubthumping on a popular nationalist issue. It's a bit like when you have a country with a fragile economy and you keep talking about Europe and immagration.
Watched part 2 on play back. I got the impressuon the crew left the country by convoy and the main stars left the country via other means. Almost certainly in a police car or under very tight security. Good episode though. How good was that Esprit? Colin Chapman would have been proud.
Some say that Clarkson had an alternative number plate in his car which was BE11 END

Mephistopheles the plan was to change the number plate for the car football game that didn't happen because they had been alerted that the number plate might be "offensive." No idea where they got that from!

It was interesting to note the front number plate fell off at some point and I'm not sure if they would've got picked up on this by the police like they would here.
It does look like the car had this registration from the earliy nineties but I am rather surprised the production team didn't pick up on any possible reference to the Falklands, though I'm glad they didn't kowtow to political correctness in this instance.

If you look hard enough you can find an insult in every little thing. Who won the Falklands war anyway? Not them that's for sure, it only took us a couple of Gurkhas and a cheese wire to make them turn tail and run, not to mention Prince whatshistwat delivering the mail for our brave boys like the hero he isn't...

I hadn't noticed how much it had escalated since I last checked
I just watched this tonight and it did look really serious. I suspect the 'stars' were flown out.
This times article is interesting. Seems to suggest the mob was state organised. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...pecial-What-really-happened-in-Patagonia.html
The comments below the article point out the registration was changed in 2001. https://www.instantcarcheck.co.uk/Report/h982fkl/lboyl
The reg was clearly bought for the Porsche by the previous owner. Its a porsche 928 and the reg is 982. Hides its age and is pretty close to 928.

It was only a fucking number plate for fuck sake...
I'm looking forward to the North Korean Christmas Special next year.
