Top Gear is one of the best shows ever, the DVD is not as good as the show
I love Top Gear, I watched almsot all of the episodes from the first season in in 2002.
Top Gear Season 10 is very good, but the DVD isn't as good, the original airing of season 10 is better than this DVD.
The problems are:
1. News segments are non existent or missing, there is maybe only one episode with the Top Gear news.
2. The music, Top Gear season 10 had great music in the original UK airing, on the DVD all the music is replaced by a bad music probably because of copyright issues with the original music, no matter the reason, this reduces the enjoyment of the episodes.
3. Region 1 DVD, why would you make it a region 1 DVD? Should have made the DVD region free.
4. No extras as far as I can tell, there's only the show, no behind the scenes, no special commentary, nothing, it's just the show.
Imagine Jeremy Clarkson reviewing this DVD, he would point out it's flaws with no shame.
Overall Top...
Three British gents+fast cars+Top Gear Challenges=hilarity
I discovered this show on BBCA about a year ago, and can't get enough. The interplay between the three hosts, the wacky challenges (ie: sailing cars across the British Channel), the awesome cars, it all adds up into my favorite show on television today. That said, it is unfortunate that the producers of the DVD decided to cut out some material from the show; for what reason I cannot fathom. Still, this is the only show I've ever seen that has made me laugh so hard I cried. Plus, this season includes the Botswana episode, which was a fantastic bit of television and cinematography. The Clarkson: Heaven/Hell is OK, but not great. If you're not already a fan, I'd suggest just buying the Season 10 alone, until you're sure you like the humor.
Gear heads rejoice
One the best British imports ever. Even if your not a gear head the the three hosts are very funny. I know a few people who know nothing about cars but love this show because of chemistry of the hosts. And to you gear heads a chance to see some the worlds greatest super cars in action.
