Back in 2014, James May talked us through the experience of Top Gear's infamous and controversial Christmas Special in which Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and himself travelled through Argentina with a car that some Argentines perceived as having a numberplate (H982 FKL) that referenced the Falklands War.
He explained how the potential Falkands connection hadn't been spotted by the production team, how it had been on the car since its registration and how the team felt having to flee Argentina after being attacked by a mob near Ushuaia.
