5 out of 5 stars The Best of the Boys So Far!   November 25, 2007

This DVD is the best so far, all the funny challenges are here. The only thing is the editing, why have they split the challenges in half. You start watching one and then it cuts to another and then back to the first one!!! Why?????

Apart from that - brilliant!

5 out of 5 stars Great TV on Demand   May 31, 2007

Top Gear is TV at its best. Great presenters, great banter, great cars; what more could you need? I would imagine that somebody who doesn't have much interest in cars would need a lot more to be persuaded to watch.
With the challenges, which is the focus of this DVD, Top Gear has discovered a way to make the show suitable for everybody; It's simply good entertainment.
Amongst other things the boys, as I am fairly loathed to call them (but nevermind), make some rediculous streched limos, have races against each other (one in a car, another in a plane), and, most amazingly of all, build a space rocket (that looks like a NASA shuttle) out of a robin reliant. The latter challenge is worth the price of the DVD alone. Classic TV on Demand!



5 out of 5 stars Top Quality TV   June 1, 2007

Since its revamp Top Gear has proved to be one of the best shows on television. Whilst it can no longer be considered a serious car program, what it loses in reviewing cars for the majority, it gains in being one of the most entertaining television shows full stop.

The challenges are frequently the best part of the show and the two I remember here the most are the amphibious cars and the Bugatti Veron. The amphibious cars is very very funny. There are moments in this which look seriously dangerous, for example when Hammond is trying to climb out of the water but the wheel he's grabbing continues to turn. They are all laughing and its funnier than any comedy I saw last year!

Part of the success of the show is the geniune spark and friendship that has developed between the three presenters and nowhere is this demonstrated better than in the race between the Bugatti and James May's light aircraft. May and Hammond are continually bickering with each other (purposely for the cameras I'm sure), whilst Clarkson is 'flying' in the car. Again this is great entertainment and in places there are some funny moments.

Some of these challenges I can't remember, but the various series have been of such a high standard that I will be ordering this immediately.

Top Gear has become one of my favourite Tv shows in the last few years. the challenges are simply awesome.

Does anyone have any info whether there are any extra on the DVD? Is it the same footage as screened on TV or is there extra footage. Since its almost 3hours long it seems like there should be a lot of extras, since the stunts are normally approx 15 mins max on the show

I expect this DVD to be fantastic. I can't help but think the challenges are the funniest part of Top Gear - and that is saying something! One question, and I don't know if anyone can answer this yet - will it have the amphibious vehicles challenge on this DVD? That topped the list for me.
