4 out of 5 stars Top Gear   November 22, 2007

I love Top Gear, I watch the show religiously and I own all the other DVD specials. I was thrilled when the 'Challenges' DVD was released - all their best stunts and adventures on one disc! The content was superb - the three lads at their best, building stretch limos, racing old supercars around Oxfordshire and of course, setting fire to that car wash. The one slight let down however, is the way the content has been put together - it is impossible to watch a single challenge all the way through in one go because they are all cut up and edited throughout the DVD. Once you get used to this mishap however, its thoroughly enjoyable and certainly recommended to all Top Gear fans.

OK let me be clear on something first: I recently moved away from the UK and have been unable to watch many episodes (they're on BBC World, but I keep forgetting about it, as it's not on any TV Guide here and I'm too lazy to keep a watchful eye). So, unlike many reviewers here, for me this DVD was the first time I was watching a lot of the stuff on it - and I LOVED it! br / br /Yes, the editing is bad - actually, it's not really edited at all, they just took the footage from the show and stitched it together, which is why you sometimes get a re-introduction of a challenge half-way in. So yes, it's a really lazy way to do things, unlike, say, the Winter games DVD, where all three presenters are on hand to introduce both new and existing material. br / br /Whoever did it though, has the best excuse of them all - the material is just awesome, and the back-and-forth jumping between challenges can't take that away. Having said that, if you want to show one particular challenge to a friend it can really get on your nerves...


3 out of 5 stars If Top Gear is the most watched program on BBC2 then why couldn't they have got a decent editor???   September 20, 2007

I was so very looking forward to this is DVD as the challenges are my favourite part of the show and definately the funniest. I was so dissapointed at the quality of the editing in this, it is appalling!! They skimped by using cuts from shows to present each challenge rather than getting clarkson, hammond or may to do it for the DVD and split the challenges into parts so you couldnt watch it in one go!! It was put together so badly it doesnt flow at all and is so frustrating to watch. br / br /Come on guys you can do better than this!! I only hope they do better next time! br / br /P.S. Please release a DVD of the Polar expedition but PLEASE PLEASE get a decent editor and don't cut any of it out!!
