4 out of 5 stars Just one word, Brilliant!   January 7, 2009
Top Gear is a program which I always look forward to, especially the challenges. In this second edition, the challenges are not as good, but they are still hilariously funny! James 'Captain Slow' May, Richard 'Hamster' Hammond, and Jeremy 'Jezza' Clarkson are up to all sorts of trouble, like crashing into other people's cars at Silverstone, and getting into people's way in the channel and other capers. A hilarious DVD for young and old alike!


4 out of 5 stars Great but....   December 7, 2008
This is a brilliant DVD, and I thoroughly recommend it however, I have already seen all of these on Dave, and so if you have already seen them then there is no point. So if you dont mind that much about getting it, you can just see them there as their bound to come along some time.


5 out of 5 stars Greatest show on earth   December 1, 2008

This is so much better than The Challenges 1 both the DVD setup and the content and you get extras . This is madcap alcohol inspired ideas that mere mortals like me can only dream of . I love the quest for the greatest driving road where captain slow loses buckets of sweat and the race across London with the stig on public transport ...fantastic .Keep it coming guys .


4 out of 5 stars Greatness... with a slight drawback   October 21, 2008
  2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is a collection of challenges with our favourite team of car presenters and their house-trained racing driver. If you're a fan of the Top Gear programs, you need this on DVD.br /br /The video is crystal clear, the sound is good, and there are English subtitles if you need them. You also get the interviews/laps by Lewis Hamilton and Simon Cowell, but don't be fooled by the "extended interviews" tag. They're just the normal interviews the way they appeared on TV. The other extras are for hard-core enthusiasts, but not really necessary if you prefer watching the program and the guys interacting rather than the cars.br /br /The one drawback I wil mention is that the MUSIC is different from the one used in the TV show. Due to the unique way in which the BBC is funded, they were able to use a variety of movie soundtracks and collections on the show. But since this DVD is a commercial thing, they had to change all the music. And while the TV show music blokes know what they're doing... the guys who did this don't. In short, the music was better on the show.


5 out of 5 stars It just keeps getting better...   October 9, 2008
Following on from the success of the first Challenges DVD, this second volume is the cream of the crop where it comes to Top Gear. Not only does it contain the best of the challenges from the 10th series (arguably the best ever), this volume contains two things the previous was sadly lacking:br /br /1) Menus you can actually navigate! Thankfully BBC DVD and 2|entertain listened to all the negative criticism and rectified this for the second volume. All I can say is "thank you people power!"br /br /2) Extras! Something else lacking from the previous release was bonus features, something the BBC had done absolutely brilliantly elsewhere (Doctor Who DVD releases, for example). This is also rectified in this volume with the best ones being the extended interviews with the two lap record holders Lewis Hamilton and Simon Cowell. Pure Top Gear wit from start to finish!br /br /I hope that the success of this volume will persuade the BBC to release some of the challenges not yet released. The "McLaren Mercedes SLR vs Boat" race springs to mind as do the tractor, van and road-works challenges. Not to mention the races and stunts in series 11 and the soon to arrive series 12.br /br /"Top Gear: The Challenges 3" anyone?
