Synopsis
Clarkson and May, in a seriously modified Toyota, take on Hammond and his dog sled in a 450 mile race to the North Pole as they drive over thin ice to face in-tent hostilities, polar bear fear and desperate food fantasies. Includes exclusive unseen footage. Released in full 1080p.

Caveat: Due to the nature of filming in extreme environments, some footage was not captured in full HD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular, 24 Oct 2008

By	Julien Klettenberg (Paddington, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've already watched this particular Top Gear Special a number of times on DVD (including at 1080i, using a good upscaling player) and have always been impressed by the quality of the picture. I expected this blu-ray edition to be somewhat better than the DVD, but the difference is nothing less than remarkable: the image quality at 1080P is truly spectacular, with an amazing level of detail, far exceeding any of my expectations.

The programme itself is one of the Top Gear team's best efforts, and you can see why it was chosen to be their first blu-ray release. My only criticism would be that, whilst this is an extended version of the programme that was originally broadcast, there's nothing in the way of "extras" on this disc (as was the case with the DVD release). Given that the show itself is about 70 minutes in length, this doesn't really represent the best use of the format, or very good value, for that matter. All the same, it's still a superbly entertaining film and an excellent representation of what blu-ray is capable of.

Let's hope the BBC doesn't waste any time in releasing more of Clarkson, Hammond and May's adventures in this format!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning on Blu-ray HD, 27 Dec 2008

By	Bill Shakespeare (UK) - See all my reviews

This Top Gear special really is a joy to watch in High Definition, as you can imagine with all the scenery and cinematography. You'll almost feel as if you were there with them on the journey, but from the warmth of your living room. Result!

It's a shame there are no special features, but it's a TV show. Everything is in the main programme itself. Just an animated menu screen, with chapter selection and subtitle options.

For the price it's worth it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Music is different., 5 Feb 2009

By	xlr231 - See all my reviews

I was disappointed to find all the music in this release was different than the broadcast version. One of the things I love about Top Gear is they always pick great music that really fits well with the scenes. They must not have wanted to pay royalties and replaced it with royalty free music. It isn't anywhere near as good as what was in the broadcast version and some is almost annoying.
