Top Gear - The Challenges Vol.1 (DVD)

TOP GEAR DVDs are like Christmas - they come once a year, and it's always a surprise whether or not the contents are shiny and good (TOP GEAR: WINTER OLYMPICS), or a lump of coal with a sticky bow on it (TOP GEAR: REVVED UP). Sadly, I have to report that TOP GEAR: THE CHALLENGES delivers another lump of coal - minus the sticky bow. -- CONTENTS -- ROBIN RELIANT SPACE SHUTTLE BUILDING AMPHIBIOUS CARS BUILDING A LIMO BUILDING A CONVERTIBLE PEOPLE ...
...one disk, it's not really TOP GEAR: THE CHALLENGES; it's more TOP GEAR: SOME OF THE CHALLENGES AND A FEW OTHER THINGS THAT AREN'T. Their first mistake? Picking a theme and not keeping to it. As a 'best of' seasons eight and nine it's a fairly good disk that picks some of the great things from both series - as did TOP GEAR: BACK IN THE FAST LANE - but as a disk that's being promoted and sold as 'THE CHALLENGES' it comes up short. Their second mistake? ...

Review of Top Gear - The Challenges Vol.1 (DVD)

I love Top Gear,I've been watching for about 3 years now,and probably will watch it till its death day. Im a big fan of cars too,and have never minded the fact that they tend to forget that the rest of us cant afford Ferraris and Porsches! I must admit,that im pretty fond of all the presenters too,and think their all gorgeus in their own unique way! So for me,buying a d.v.d with 2 and a half hours of cars and those three..well it was a dream! ...
...you are a fan of Top Gear. One of the other problems I have with the dvd is that the challenges are split up. By this I mean that half way through a challenge,it just cuts off and goes onto another,for it then to return after a different challenge. I suppose this is to break up the challenges so people dont get bored,but to me its just annoying,because I find myself skipping scenes just to get to the challenge I was watching previously. In terms ...

Review of Top Gear - The Challenges Vol.1 (DVD)

...anything that makes me laugh. Top gear ticks all my boxes. A comedy car show, with wacky challenges is just up my street. So as you can imagine i really like top gear! One of the best car shows around. I watch every Top Gear show that is on and even the repeats on DAVE! So hear is my first review - Top Gear! THE SHOW Top Gear the show is a show about reviewing cars, interviewing celebrities and about three men having a laugh! It is a very man orientated ...
...has only recently returned to Top Gear after an accident last year. The show is all about cars, the fastest car, how the car handles and usually which the better car is. One show compared the best family car. The shows also include challenges occasionally; such as the drive across America. Or their drive across the channel on amphibious vehicles. He show is full of fun jokes and the three presenters are always cracking wise cracks and taking the ...

Review of Top Gear - The Challenges Vol.1 (DVD)

Top Gear - the challenges - does exactly what it says on the tin. This cuts out all the reviews of cars, stars in reasonably priced cars and other features common to individual episodes of Top Gear and focuses purely on the challenges the team go through which are usually split by the regular features. The disk is around 164 nail biting, amusing action packed minutes of some of the best challenges the team have faced. These include: A Robin Reliant ...
...ripped from regular episodes of Top Gear that the challenges feature in, which leads on 2 occasions to a slight flaw in continuity. But take nothing away from the content - once again the on screen chemistry regular Top Gear viewers are used to is present and at its cutting edge best, you will laugh... and be in awe at some of the mishaps and comedy this team produces. Let's hope they bring out a second edition. Preferably with EXTRAS, out-takes ...
