Product Description

Two special Top Gear episodes presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. In 'Botswana Special', our intrepid explorers, attempting to reach the Namibian border, have to traverse arduous salt pans, do battle with the Kalahari desert, and see if they can navigate the foaming torrents of the Okavango Delta. In 'Vietnam Special', equipped with, of all things, motorcycles, the adventurers have to cover the entire length of the country in just eight days.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oliver!!!! 23 Mar 2009
Yep, they're back to their tricks again. The 2 dvd's come in seperate cases, one for each adventure, and are bound in a cardboard case. 1st disk is the brilliant Botswana adventure with a few added scenes that aren't on the television version. Great picture and served up with a stereo soundtrack, the extra's are limited to behind the scenes photo's, a commentary soundtrack and some very amusing deleted scenes.
2nd serving is the Vietnam adventure, again a few scenes not in the TV edition, with similar quality picture and sound. The extras are also the same fare, and this time we get to meet The Stigs communist cousin! This would have got 5 stars had they not changed the soundtracks, the music used on both TV versions seemed more evocative and had more impact.
All in all though, over 2hrs of good hilarious antics that we've all come to expect from Clarckson, Hammond and May.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ambitious but Brilliant Everywhere!!! 25 Mar 2009
By J. Dale
There here again and back for more mayhem than ever. The DVD comes in cardboard with two seperate standard DVD cases and two discs. The 1st special is the Botswana Trip and its the Director's Cut version as well with content not seen on TV. This was the special that made me laugh the most as James May nearly drives into Zimbabwe (where the BBC isn't allowed), Richard Hammond falls in love with his car and calls it 'Oliver' and Jermey Clarkson endlessly breaking down in his Lancia car.

The 2nd Special was in Vietnam, which was recently on, and still made me laugh and feel sorry for Jeremy as he can't ride a bike as travelling through Vietnam, although Richard Hammond and James May enjoyed the trip but were constantly pursued by an American coloured Motorbike if any of their own bike's broke down and had to be left behind. We also actually get to meet The Stigs Communist Cousin. Also keep in mind that this isn't a director cut, just the Botswana Special.

This deserves five stars because for the first time (I think) it actually has some Special Feature Extras like Behind the Scenes Photo Gallery, Commentary Soundtrack with Executive Producer Andy Wilman and Crew and very funny Deleted Scenes on both DVD's. The picture is also excellent and perfect music and is just for any die hard Top Gear Fan. The only thing that anyone will moan about is that some of the soundtracks have changed from the TV edition, but hey, who care's? It's still good Top Gear!
