DVD Description
This motoring epic, 3-disc box set will appeal to car enthusiasts everywhere.

Contains:

Revved Up: In between mercilessly pulverising the motoring industry's slackers and bagging themselves a place in the cockpit of the sleekest, fastest drives, Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have had some fun racing, crashing and generally mucking about in the most unlikely vehicles. Now direct from the Top Gear bunker, Richard brings us the best, and most requested petrol-head stunts from the unmissable show's recent series.

Winter Olympics: The "Winter Olympics Special" episode in full, including a Mini driven down a ski jump and an ice hockey game with cars!

The Best Of: A 90 minute special containing all the best bits from the brand new first and second series of the nation's favourite motoring show, presented by outspoken pundit Jeremy Clarkson. Featuring Clarkson test driving supercars and then reviewing them in a studio, while 'The Stig' demonstrates exactly how fast these cars can go.

Highlights include reviews of the Aston Martin, Vanquish, DB7, Pagani Zonda, Lotus Elise and Espirit, as well as some fantastic light-hearted features such as 'Doughnut Grannies', 'Plane vs. Car' and 'Bus Jumping Over Motorbike'.

Synopsis
Join Jeremy Clarkson and the rest of the Top Gear petrolheads in this three-programme box set, featuring Revved Up, Winter Olympics and The Best of Top Gear.

Top Gear, in a box. Brilliant.
The reasons why we watch Top Gear are wide ranging, but whatever joy you get from watching the show you will also get from this box set.

If you watch it for the very fast cars then "Back in the Fast Lane" with it's supercar lineup from start to finish will satiate that urge, although if you are expecting to see James May and Richard Hammond in that production you will be disappointed. James provides one voice over and Richard about 3 sets of footage. The rest is entirely Jeremy Clarkson. And very very very pretty cars going very fast. If you enjoy the general tomfoolery and insane stunts of a normal Top Gear show then "Winter Olympics" is the DVD for you; it's a stand-alone episode with stunts ranging from sensible to mad. And if you watch the show for the competitions or Richard Hammond, then "Revved Up" has lots of both to keep you entertained. "Winter Olympics" is probably the most complete DVD when viewed separately, but the other two DVDs still have a lot to offer.

The outtakes included in "Revved Up" and "Winter Olympics" are funny but very short - they must either get a lot of it right first time round or the rest of the mistakes are too crude to be shown even on DVD. There are Stig features on all three DVDs, although the one on "Winter Olympics" is a bit too drawn out. Footage of all three is not repeated bar one stunt - the bobsleigh vs Mitsubishi Evo race - which is on both "Revved Up" and "Winter Olympics".

As a box set, I love it. It's definately worth what you pay for the entertainment you get, and it's a laugh - just as Top Gear itself has proven to be over the last few years.
