5 out of 5 stars Sub Zero Cool : Going foolishly where no Top Gear presenter has gone before.   December 29, 2008
The lads are back doin what they do best making entertainment out anything they can, fine asblout hign resloution the capibillites of blu-ray showing the artic in true detail, while watching Jez and Capt.Slow drive drunk in international waters.

Although only 15 minutes longer than the broadcast version, the extra bits are surprising and interesting and well worth it. If you are a fan of Top Gear and thought the broadcast was great, then you will be blown away by the detail on this edition.

5 Stars, One of the best Top Gear releases so far.



5 out of 5 stars Stunning on Blu-ray HD   December 27, 2008
This Top Gear special really is a joy to watch in High Definition, as you can imagine with all the scenery and cinematography. You'll almost feel as if you were there with them on the journey, but from the warmth of your living room. Result!

It's a shame there are no special features, but it's a TV show. Everything is in the main programme itself. Just an animated menu screen, with chapter selection and subtitle options.

For the price it's worth it.

I've already watched this particular Top Gear Special a number of times on DVD (including at 1080i, using a good upscaling player) and have always been impressed by the quality of the picture. I expected this blu-ray edition to be somewhat better than the DVD, but the difference is nothing less than remarkable: the image quality at 1080P is truly spectacular, with an amazing level of detail, far exceeding any of my expectations.

The programme itself is one of the Top Gear team's best efforts, and you can see why it was chosen to be their first blu-ray release. My only criticism would be that, whilst this is an extended version of the programme that was originally broadcast, there's nothing in the way of "extras" on this disc (as was the case with the DVD release). Given that the show itself is about 70 minutes in length, this doesn't really represent the best use of the format, or very good value, for that matter. All the same, it's still a superbly entertaining film and an excellent representation of what blu-ray is capable of.

Let's hope the BBC doesn't waste any time in releasing more of Clarkson, Hammond and May's adventures in this format!
