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'.

Product Description
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top Gear, in a box. Brilliant., 1 Oct 2006
By Ms. L. M. Forster "Lyn F" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some say it,s made of titanium and will clean your house as it plays....i just call it a very good DVD, 3 Sep 2006
By russell clarke "stipesdoppleganger" (halifax, west yorks) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
Why do I enjoy "Top Gear" so much? Me who don't drive and who could write what he knows about cars on the edge of a postage stamp. I shouldn't give a tuppenny toss about this programme but every Sunday at 20.00 hours I'm sat in front of my TV salivating like Tony Blair introduced to a media tycoon. What's more I get the impression I am not the only motoring ignoramus who does so.
In answering my own question, or at least attempting to, I would say because it's the most entertaining thing on the box by several laps of that track they drive around every week. The mix of presenters works brilliantly. Jeremy Clarkson is not every ones cup of tea, indeed he is some people's cup of warm vomit, but he is superbly engaging in his opinionated way and is capable of genuine wit. His interviews with the stars in the reasonably priced cars are invariably illuminating and amusing and he tackles everything with an unabashed damm the consequences enthusiasm that never fails to entertain. Richard Hammond (he of the very white teeth) is also a terrific natural presenter and engaging personality and though he lacks Clarkson's sardonic edge and totalitarian judgments he makes a good sparring partner. The real coup is having career bachelor, the fastidious and anal "Captain Slow" James May, who's more considered urbane demeanour contrasts perfectly with the more tumultuous lad's together approach of Clarkson/Hammond.
This DVD is an amalgamation of all the previous "Top Gear" DVD's released since the re-vamped show returned with it's more irreverent approach-"Back In The Fast Lane", "All Revved Up" and "The Winter Olympics"- and at the price advertised is an absolute bargain, especially when you consider that the "Winter Olympics" DVD which is basically one episode of the show has previously been sold at a similar price. Best of these is errr the best of DVD from series one and two which has the right balance as we see in the show every week. "All Revved Up" presented by Richard Hammond has some great footage of "The Stig" and more of those pointless , insane, hilarious stunts but is edited by Pete from Big Brother , or so it would seem. " The Winter Olympics" episode is "Top Gear" at it's best , impudent, asinine , utterly meaningless yet fantastically entertaining and has only recently been hoisted from it's position as the best stand alone episode by the one where they all went caravanning which should win a BAFTA but will probably loose out to something more worthy and about a tenth as pleasurable.
The truly great thing about this show is the presenters are not afraid to make complete tits of them or to make them selves look stupid, indeed Clarkson seems to revel in it. I care not if a Pagani Zonda is better than a Lotus Elise and I do not even know what 1600 brake horse power means but I love this show to bit's , and so do the rest of my family ( apart from "Dr Who" it's the only show we all sit down to watch together). Now we can watch whenever we want. Tremendous...... as Clarkson might say, more "POWERRRR" to its elbow.
