Top Gear - The Complete Specials [DVD]

Fab!! Great fun, entertaining & educational. Thoroughly enjoyed this box set. Laughed more than I have for ages. Well worth it. As I enjoyed this so much and Amazon recommended it and bought Top Gear the challenges 1-6 + other specials. Only downside is the disks were hard to get out, otherwise fabulous! 10/10. Clarkson, Hammond & May at their best. Contains all specials from the trios Top Gear tenure.

Great price for all of the specials,it’s a shame you can’t get this in HD but it still looks good for dvd’s. Really enjoyed watching all of the specials and then watching all the grand tour specials. End of a very funny era

Very good quality

May I add, before I start, that I am reviewing the "NEW BOXSET" which only came out in December 2015. It has the silver background with the blue circle and the guys faces (the one above). Some of the reviews here are for older boxsets, "NOT this one" ...................................................................................................................................................................... I have been waiting awhile now for a complete boxset of ALL the Adventures and here it is!. This is a laugh a minute with these 3, I mean, who "honestly"watched Top Gear just because of the cars?. Sure, the cars were great, but most of us could only afford them on the back of a lottery win, or in our Dreams!. No, most of us watched because of the obvious friendship these guys had for each other and the stupid silly things they said and did every week. This boxset is full of such moments and having grown up over the years with them it's like watching some old friends rather then strangers. The road trips are sensational and I find it hard to pick a favourite but i suppose the American "DEEP SOUTH" road trip is up there as a contender. The boxset is well laid out and starts with the American Deep South where they encounter "Rednecks" in Alabama and from there on the fun continues on 13 disc's. If I had one gripe then it would be that I would have apprieciated a manual just explaining a bit more, but then it would also have been nice to have more of the deleted scenes.But, honestly, this doesn't take anything away from what you get, it would just have been nice to have more extras. This Boxset is a great reminder of what Top Gear was, whether it will be the same under Chris Evans, who knows!. But, without Hammond, May and Clarkson, that's an act I wouldn't want to try and follow and I don't believe anyone can, so I guess this Top Gear will be completly new, but new doesn't always mean better. As for the guys show that will start on Amazon Prime called "Gear Knobs", will it be as funny, I think so. If your funny, then your always funny. But this boxset is great. You know what your getting and you may have seen the road trips before, but for the true fan, that won't stop you watching them again and again

Fantastic boxset featuring all the Top Gear Specials and Adventures. Highly recommend for fans of the show. I was able to buy it on a Limited Time Deal so I got it for £11.99 which is an amazing price for the content involved. Even though I have seen them all countless times, most discs feature the Directors Cut and behind the scenes stuff, not seen on TV, so plenty of content and scenes that keep them fresh and new. If you're a fan of the show and this trio specifically, this is a must have for any DVD collection.

This is a great collection, although it's fair to say that there are some things included here that are not really 'Top Gear Specials'. Some have scenes that weren't in the TV versions. Plus plenty of deleted scenes. Some have commentaries from the crew, which are (mostly) entertaining. The low points are the Middle-East and India Specials, where it seems they temporarily lost the plot. They were trying to do new things that just didn't work and ended up falling flat, but you certainly can't blame them for trying. After the India special, they returned more to the format that had made the earlier specials much more fun. It's those two lame specials and the inclusion of non-Specials stuff (that have appeared in other Top Gear DVD sets) that deny it a full 5 stars, but it's still worth buying for all the good stuff and the memories of the world's best ever car show when it was in it's prime.

I must admit that I was never really a Top Gear fan, until now. This box set is great entertainment, even if you are not into cars. The trio of presenters really gel well together and come up with all manner of surprises that will both entertain and amuse. For a programme to be on TV for as long as Top Gear has been must mean there is something quite exceptional about it. These 'Great Adventures' take you all over the world and each one has its magical moments. I won't bore you with any details about these adventures, what I will say is, if you want to watch something that will grip you, entertain you, amuse you and most of all, make you smile inside, invest in this set, you will not be disappointed. Brilliant set well worth 5 stars.

All the adventures in one big value buy. Only negative woukd be id want them all in HD. Thats it. Absolutely great value buy. Brilliant.

Très bonne émission

I got all the top gear specials and the directors commentary but also a bunch of other little bit and pieces, like deleted scenes, photo albums and some times laps for some of the cars. Amazing stuff.

Me fascina la libertad con la que hablan. Programa independiente de coches imposible en un país como España donde domina lo políticamente correcto y donde todas las cadenas son siervas de algún grupo de opinión, partido político o grupo empresarial de interés propio y donde no existen periodistas independientes y ecuánimes.

家庭用の再生機では、再生出来ませんでした、リージョンは２－４でしたが、PAL方式なのでパソコンで見る事になりました。語学が達者であればもっと面白いものだったと思います。

Meiner Meinung nach die beste Auto-Serie und eine der besten Serien überhaupt. Die Box bietet die für mich tollsten Momente. Die Specials sind einfach extrem lustig, die Autos und Landschaftsaufnahmen spektakulär. Dieses Moderatoren-Trio ist einfach unvergleichlich und ich kann mir die Folgen immer wieder ansehen. Top-Gear-Fans müssen eigentlich nicht überlegen und können bedenkenlos kaufen. Zu Bemerken ist noch, dass es sich um die englische Sprachausgabe handelt, es können lediglich Untertitel aktiviert werden. Für mich jedoch unbedingt in Englisch zu empfehlen, so ist es einfach authentisch.
