A very nice collection.
I love Top Gear. This collection has all of the adventures. Fun to watch. Just make sure your player can play region code 2. My player is region free so it works just fine. You can purchase a region free play on Amazon. Very inexpensive.

What's not to like? Beware of compatibility
There is nothing to dislike about this. My only real complaint would be during the original Top Gear, they may have not been considered specials, but there were a lot of episodes that were focused on one specific topic that could have been included.WARNING: I recommend buying a cheap external DVD drive for a laptop or something. Because this is from the UK the region is different and will not play on American DVD players unless specified. I had an extra external drive and changed the region in the properties. I suggest the extra external drive because after switching "X" amount of times it will lock that drive to a specific region. That means either you will have a dedicated UK DVD player or no device (again) to watch the DVDs on.

Nice
My go-to show to watch when nothing else is on or I just need something on in the background. Yes, these DVDs are formatted for a different region, but thankfully, my portable DVD player is regionless. This means that I'm a happy little clam.

Yes, it doesn't play on US DVD players.
I took a chance and bought it hoping our Sony machine would be one of the fluke ones it worked in.... No such luck. I was going to order a new player specifically to watch these DVDs, but had the GENIUS idea to try it on my son's cheap Chinese "Arafuna" DVD player he uses for school. BEHOLD THE MAGNITUDE OF MY GENIUS!!!! It worked, and now we are laughing our way through all the specials, which are truly the best part of the show.

Great DVDs BUT…….
These DVDS are great however you will need a dvd player with no region restrictions to play them I can tell you they absolutely will not play in a USA PlayStation 4. I had to purchase a non region dvd player another $35 purchase just to watch these.

Know your DVD zone before purchase.
I was very happy with the product but it did cause issue. If you buy this you will need a zone 2 DVD player or a multi zone DVD player to watch this in the US. The US is zone one and ours wil not play them. I had to by a multi zone DVD player just to watch them.

Fabulous Fun
My husband and I have watched Top Gear for years and now we are now fans of The Grand Tour. Watching this DVD series is so much fun. These are the original shows with the original music. The Vietnam special actually has “Born in the USA” playing, instead of the National Anthem with the back up bike.Great news is these DVDs play on our PS4.This was a wonderful Father’s Day gift!!

Don't buy unless you have a Region free DVD player
First off I love Top Gear. The show is awesome. This is the only 1 star rating I have ever given. This product can not be used in the USA unless you have a Region free DVD player. Which I had never heard of until buying this. Would have been extremely helpful to explain this before I bought it. I had to spend an additional $35 to buy a region free dvd player because there is no known hack to unlock regions for the dvd player I have. Very disappointed in Amazon for allowing this type of thing to happen with a product sold on there site.
