DVD Description
Welcome to my new DVD, Duel - it's all about challenges and some big questions. Which car makes the most smoke while going sideways - a Lamborghini Murcielago SuperVeloce or a Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S? What is best at drifting? - the Jaguar XKR, the Lotus Evora, Audi's R8 V10 or BMW's M3? To find out, I globe-trot from sun-drenched Spain to Silverstone via Oxfordshire and Swindon.

There is serious science too. Can The Stig drift a car while wearing wellies? Can I corner in flippers? Can Formula One ace Anthony Davidson slide a car - in ice skates? Who is the best at off road driving? - Newswoman Kate Silverton, rugby's Matt Dawson, singer Ronan Keating - or me? Which is fastest - a car or a man? Find out as the Aston Martin v12 Vantage sprints against flying rugby winger Tom Varndell in a 100 metre drag race.

And at last, The Stig goes head to helmet against The Tiff. The white-suited racing driver and I join forces against Vicki Butler-Henderson and Tiff Needell. There's carnage in an auto-test and I push the 190mph Aston Martin DBS Volante to the limit against Vicki in a £150,000 Ferrari California. I also pick a Ford Focus RS for a road race against his'Stigness in a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. Who will win?

There's more. What will hit the ground first from 150 feet up a penny or a Ford Scorpio? Can the Stig ride a bicycle? And can a man with a rubbish car get it home using no fuel at all. just a catapult. Meanwhile, there's a terrible accident with a Morris Marina and a piano and everything else explodes including Ronan Keating.

Customer Reviews

Quality Stuff!
Couldn't disagree more with the other review. This is not another Top Gear film. It's Clarkson on his own, doing what he does best - larking around with fast cars and being thoroughly entertaining. You might not learn much from watching, but you'll certainly enjoy the ride. I think the production values have gone up a notch again this year and there's even quite a few celeb guests thrown in - finally we see how Tiff's driving skills match up against the mighty Stig, and there is a brilliant off road race where Kate Silverton nearly does herself some serious damage!

Stick it on your Christmas list, you won't regret it.

Clarkson, as funny as...
This latest Jeremy Clarkson DVD is very good, it has the usual supercars, explosions and Jeremy Clarkson at his best using as many metaphors as he can in one sentence.

Most of the tests he does have nothing to do with real life such as the apple test BUT most of the people who watch the DVD cannot afford a supercar anyway, including myself, so why does it need to be realistic?

I watch his DVDs and Top Gear to be entertained and I was, I enjoyed this one very much and will look forward to his next release.

Brilliant
Clarkson is on form, at his witty best. A great DVD - I would highly recommend it!
