Book Description

Publication Date: 29 Sep 2011 | Series: Top Gear

A Top Gear Christmas contains a whole platter of tasty treats to take away the sprouty taste of yuletide boredom. Inside you'll find Jeremy Clarkson's typically unsubtle guide to wrapping presents, Richard Hammond's insightful guide to festive jumpers, James May's unsuccessful stint as Santa Claus, and the strange secrets of The Stig's Christmas dinner.

There's also a brand new adventure starring everyone's favourite moustachioed 1970s crime fighters, The Interceptors, a unique insight into what the presenters want to find in their stockings, a list of people who won't be receiving a card from Top Gear this Christmas, an exclusive look at the script for a Top Gear pantomime, a guide to cars that make the right impression at a Christmas party and much, much more.

A Top Gear Christmas - It's considerably more fun than slouching in front of a Harry Potter film eating your own body weight in chocolate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy successor to the Big Book of TG. Great reading!! 15 Oct 2011
By Josh
Format:Hardcover
As you're probably aware, 'A Top Gear Christmas' is the successor to the fabulously popular Big Books of TG (which BBC made in 2009, 2010 & for 2011). I'm happy to announce that this is even better than the Big Books - mainly because you've got some seasonally orientated humour stirred into the already hilarious mix. There is quite frankly side-splitting (I'm not just saying cliches, it's true) segments such as James May moonlighting as Father Christmas, Richard Hammond's guide to xmas jumpers and, of course, 'The Interceptors' - TG's fantasy detective show with added stupidness. Oh, and obviously a Bugatti Veyron sleigh.

If you liked the Big Books of Top Gear, you'll love them in their current guise - a Top Gear Christmas is absolutely brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect! 26 Nov 2011
By Adam Pierson
Format:Hardcover
Each page is packed full of Top Gear style - every ad, every picture, every word. One can hear Jezza, James, and Richard having the conversations with that special bantering, sarcastic, teasing, ribbing, joyful way that only the three of them manage to pull off so well. Even Stig's contributions have that special Stigness. This is a book that you pick up, open to any page, read, laugh, and then put down to be picked up later and repeat. I read a lot of books of all types, and it is nice to have one around that is just for pure pleasure. Like the Top Gear TV series, this book is one that can be read and reread at any time and it is always enjoyable. I love Top Gear, own all the DVDs, and books. Long may these 3 guys and this special show continue!

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Gear Fun 21 Jan 2012
By binman
Format:Hardcover
This was bought for me as a 'stocking filler' for Christmas by my wife. We both enjoy Top Gear and so we have both enjoyed reading the book. It's funny - it's informative - it's colourful and an easy read. Something you can pick up and enjoy when you have a few minutes spare.

5.0 out of 5 stars TG can do no wrong.....
....except for the awful India special. What happened there is a mystery, unless it was the different editor. This is just a collection to amuse the fans and does not disappoint.

I smirked a few times, but generally it was pretty tiresome. I found a few typos too, obviously made in the Christmas rush. Read more

Bought it for 8 year old grandson who is mad about Top Gear. Did find it far too adult for him, but am sure his father enjoyed the book.
