DVD Description
Being a Top Gear presenter is often described as being the best job in the world, especially if you work in a factory gutting chickens, (which I used to do). So in this DVD, featuring stunts and tomfoolery never seen on TV, I show you how to master the dark art of being a Top Gear host, and how to make your own Top Gear show. This DVD will change your life forever. Probably.
How to Make a Top Gear Film in Your Own Home Haven’t got access to the Swiss Alps or the salt flats of Utah? No probs. All you need is for your parents to be out of the house for the day, and a mental stunt biker friend to drop round.
Engineering Excellence Demonstrating engineering excellence is something that should come naturally to a Top Gear presenter. Converting an ice-cream van into a fully-fledged hovercraft should be no problem for Richard then.
How to Make a Top Gear Road Test The art of the powerslide, talking nonsense whilst not crashing, drag racing the stupidest thing with a jet engine you can find…The secret world of how to make Top Gear road test is all here.
The Top Gear Work Ethic Even on holiday, a Top Gear presenter must be able to knock up a quick action film. Cue a picturesque beach and a Dakar-ready Bowler Nemesis... racing its own 12-tonne support truck.
Top Gear - A Public Service “All you ever do is cock about.” That’s a common complaint which breaks our heart. But as I show you with this scientific experiment involving loads of flying bricks and demolished walls, a Top Gear presenter only ever cocks about for the good of mankind.
Top Gear Passion Richard selflessly ventures to Italy, driving the Lamborghini Gallardo Balboni, Ferrari Scuderia and Pagani Zonda Cinque to prove, er… something very important about passion and stuff like that.
With an exclusive look at the world of Top Gear Scientific Research, the Top Gear Diet, the Top Gear Presenter’s Wardrobe and the Top Gear complaints procedure, this DVD is the ultimate insight into the Top Gear world.

I love Top Gear and think Richard Hammond is an excellent presenter. However the script and stunts on this DVD are way below the standard of the Top Gear series.
One exception being the driving through brick wall in slow motion which is fascinating. The description on the DVD is Top Gear Uncovered -- a look behind the scenes. There was none of that. The DVD is intended as a joke, a sort of weak parody of TG. But sadly it does not pull it off. It is mainly just silly, and the attempted humour is very repetitive and obvious, and aimed at schoolboys. Of course Top Gear is full of schoolboy humour -- but TG is well written and funny. I did manage to watch all the way through to the end of this boring DVD, but only due to Richard Hammond's personality which made the best of the poor material. At least I have got one Christmas Present sorted out now -- just got to decide who deserves this dud.

I have to totally disagree with the negative review.
This DVD is a nice extension to the Top Gear series.
Yes, there is no Clarkson or May but Hammond leads the charge superbly.
There are some fantastic stunts, beautiful cars and the whole thing is pinned down by classic Top Gear humour.
If you like the show, then youıll like this DVD.
Itıs as simple as that!

Bought for my husband as a requested Xmas present (an avid fan of TG for many years), was not at all what he expected and was very disappointing overall - really a waste of money.
