Great scenes in Dingle.
The Quiet Man, Ryan’s Daughter, The Lobster, Star Wars : The Force Awakens and now Top Gear. Much like Kerry’s fixation with conquering every other county in the Football Championship, the Kingdom is quickly becoming the most dominant Irish location for TV and film crews.
Here’s hoping that Matt LeBlanc wasn’t sipping on those pints that he pulled in Kenmare though because the former Friends star had to drive to a GAA game this afternoon between An Ghaeltacht and Dingle GAA.
Here he is with the new Top Gear host Chris Evans before they set off on the journey.
Off to Dingle for some gaelic footy. What a day. pic.twitter.com/PZWirF9Jrf

Here’s the view from the stands as the duo pulled up onto the pitch in their Rolls Royce’s.

It seems that the entire cast of Top Gear were more than happy to pose for photos with those in attendance.
In a really nice touch, the Top Gear crew let some of the local children hitch a ride in the exquisite cars.
In typical LeBlanc fashion, he didn’t let the occasion pass by though without taking the mickey out of his colleague. Take a look as he acts up behind Chris Evans’ back. Great scenes.
Thanks to JOE reader Michael Martin who sent these images and clips in.
