DVD FEATURES: Description: Top Gear: The Specials - Volume 5 "The Great Adventures" features Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May in this collection of specials. Intro: Top Gear is the UK's premier motoring show. Consistently BBC TWO's most-watched program, it attracts audiences of nearly four million each week. It could be said to be ultimate boys' club, but also one that through its tone and style is accessible to everyone - 40% of viewers are female. Irreverent, witty and unbiasedly honest, the Top Gear team, led by Jeremy Clarkson, take cars to the limit and beyond to find out if they're any good or not. Full of stunts, challenges and special features, Top Gear is self-deprecating, inclusive and passionate - there no boring stats and impenetrable conversations about camshafts and tire pressures. Instead you get authoritative information, entertainment and style. India Special: 18xSp1 (28 December 2011): Cars: Jaguar XJS • Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow • Mini Cooper (classic) The trio visit India in an attempt to improve economic relations between Britain and India. The boys were sent off with from outside No.10 Downing Street with the encouragement of the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, wishing them well with: "Stay away from India!". Supercars Across Italy: 18x01 (29 January 2012): Cars: Lamborghini Aventador • McLaren MP4-12C • Noble M600 Jeremy, Richard and James travel to Italy for a Supercar Shootout in the Lamborghini Aventador, the McLaren MP4-12C and the Noble M600 The Guys: Jeremy Clarkson Jeremy is Top Gear’s figurehead, looming large at the heart of everything Top Gear stands for. He’s the man who made cars interesting even for people who don’t drive thanks to a combination of infectious enthusiasm, polished wit and a realization that most folk don’t want to hear tedious mothering over economy and boot space, they just want to know if it’s fast and makes people fancy you more. If Top Gear is like the playground gang you always wanted to join, Jeremy is the leader. He’s the oldest, the tallest and he can shout the loudest. Forever ribbing Hammond and May and disagreeing with their opinions, he’s equally able to take their return fire, particularly when his own pig headedness means that one of his ambitious schemes goes catastrophically wrong. Jeremy can utterly dismiss and destroy a new car with just one well turned sentence yet when he finds something he likes, no one else can be so boisterously passionate and tell you exactly why you should sell one of your kidneys to get one. That’s why he’s the gaffer. Richard Hammond Richard is the closest thing Top Gear has to a pin-up – although let’s face it, the competition ain’t strong – Richard Hammond brings boyish enthusiasm to go with his boyish looks. Although Jeremy is forever pointing out how short he is, Richard is feistier than Clarkson and May put together which is why he’s always first in line to volunteer for Top Gear’s daftest and most dangerous stunts. He’s been drowned, frozen and struck by lightning, and yet still Richard comes back for more. And his enthusiasm for everything he does is truly infectious. When Top Gear held a vote to find the Greatest Car In The World, Richard stepped up to nominate the Land Rover, as he would since as he owns several of them. His advocacy was so passionate and well informed that his choice absolutely romped it to win the vote by a mile. Not just a pretty face then. James May James is the ‘quiet one’, a well-mannered and thoroughly decent chap who often despairs of Jeremy’s obsession with screeching round deserted airfields at a million miles per hour. As such, he’s the perfect foil to the boisterous Clarkson and excitable Hammond. James is a man of simple pleasures, never happier than when he’s thumbing through Auto Trader looking for a splendid old Bentley he can dream of buying or sitting at the bar in his local with a pint of brown beer and the crossword. James gives Top Gear an underplayed wit and a quiet dignity, as well an added air of authority that only comes when you employ a bloke who genuinely goes home after the show to spend the evening cleaning up bits of his old motorbike over the bath.

Hello :-) IMPORTANT DVD INFORMATION FOR MY US & CANADIAN CUSTOMERS: As per the auction these are Europe Region 2+4 DVDs (US/Canada are Region 1) and you need a multi-regional (multi-zone) DVD player to play them! BUT don't panic just yet :-) Many DVD players are easy to unlock. Let me know the brand and model number of your DVD player so I see if there is a simple unlock code for your player. Many of my US/Canadian customers chose to play or copy these DVDs on a PC before playing them. I also see there are many economical Multi Region DVD players on EBay ($35-50). Just do a search if you wish. It seems a shame to let go of this great DVD set. Cheers :-)
