Top Gear trapped in Trail

As Castanet reported last week, the BBC show 'Top Gear' was scheduled to be in the Okanagan to shoot a segment for their show, but as it turns out, their trip to our province was not without some bumps in the road.

Jeremy Clarkson -- the host of one of the world's best-known television shows -- and his crew found themselves stranded in Trail on Sunday. And not knowing what to do, he took to Twitter to ask for suggestions on how to pass the time in the small town of 8,000 people.

He was quickly flooded with ideas, including one person who suggested a tour of the local lead and zinc smelter, or wine tasting at a local winery, and visiting the famous Italian Trail restaurant 'The Colander'.

What struck a cord with the BBC host though, was an invite from the local deli/grocery store for a lesson on how to properly butcher a goat.

It is unclear what the crew decided to do with their time, but we know they were able to fly out of the town's tiny airport later that day.

Top Gear was in the Southern Interior over the weekend filming a segment for their show, as the team tested out the Hennessey VelociRaptor SUV on highways in the South Okanagan and Boundary Regions.
