DVD Description
Top Gear: The Great Adventures features Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May in two popular special Top Gear episodes at the North Pole and in the US.

Polar Special (featuring extended director's cut)
It's the ultimate test of man against machine - or should that be dog against machine - as the Top Gear team set out on their most ambitious and arduous challenge to date. A race starting in Canada and finishing at the North Pole.

US Special
With a budget of $1,000 dollars, each of the team has to buy a car for the epic road trip, stopping along the way to compete in a series of challenges which range from driving across Alabama without getting shot to preparing and eating Road Kill whilst camping out for the night.

Customer Reviews

top gear
the american challenge its the usual of what you see on the telly.

the polar challenge its brilliant because there are parts you have never ever seen on the tv and also its top gear!!!!!!!!!! 10/10

No No No No No!
Who ever compiled these dvds should of thorght more about the viewer. All the music has been changed and chunks of film are missing. Don't bother.

TERRIFIC.............BRING IT ON BOYS!......................
Two top adventures from the fab trio.
Firstly Clarkson and James May set out to drive to the North Pole in a modified gas-guzzler, entering the Guiness book of records as the first people to drive to the Pole. Meanwhile the Hampster is going by dog sled. Clarkson and James have to negotiate ice boulders and bears whilst ripping the underside of their Toyota (yet another plug Clarkie). But on the positive side there are no cops or traffic wardens so they can sip gin and T whilst on the move.
This version is somewhat longer than that seen on television and is most enjoyable.
Then the star for me.........Armed with a thousand bucks a piece, our intrepid heroes venture to the Deep South of the USA where they purchase old US bangers and drive to New Orleans where they intend selling said vehicles.
After a series of hilarious adventures they reach their destination.
Some reviewers have stated that this episode was cut and had the music changed. Well, I did not notice. It seemed all right to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This is a really chuckle-worthy, rib-rattling set and I could watch it over and over again.
TOP GEAR AT ITS VERY BEST...................
