Top Gear: 50 Years of Bond Cars

Okay special, but misleading product details listing for this
This looks to be the special as shown on television, which was enjoyable. I might have wished for slightly more time on the bit where they constructed a fully working Lotus submarine, but they were trying to keep the time of the show within an hour for broadcast.

The Product Details list a run time of 135 minutes though, which was over twice the length of the broadcast special. This suggested that there would be extras on this or would be an extended version of the special. The DVD though only lists a run time of 60 minutes and doesn't list any extras. Don't be fooled by the run time listing in the product details. Still, for the price it's not a bad deal.

Lots of fun and a few new tidbits.
I've been a Bond fan since Bond showed up at the cinema. I enjoy Top Gear when I have the opportunity to watch it. Having Richard Hammond give a history of Bond cars is a brilliant idea. He covered a lot of material, gave some behind the scenes details that are hard to come by and even included a Top Gear style project in the mix. There were some Bond cars not included in the story that I wish had been there. But the contents of this DVD will be viewed again and again.

Top Gear
We absolutely loved this. I got it for my husband for his birthday. Richard Hammond did a great job with it.
