skippi90, the directors cut of the botswana special, you watched it yet, is it much different from the episode shown on tv.
Can't wait for new series to start, I watch them on dave but parts are cut out due to adverts, boo.

A little heads up that 'Top Gear - The Great Adventures 2' is now on sale at 15.99 on DVD.
No Bluray release as yet.
It includes the Vietnam special and the Directors Cut of the Botswana (OLIVER!!!) special.
I picked mine up today.
DVD Extras include commentaries, deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes photo gallery.
Arctic special in HD was awesome, need another fix.Seems to be the same but with added bits like a Ray Mears survival joke called Mears My Ride![]()

Just a slight heads up regarding the new series. The Top Gear team were spotted at a classic car auction in north norfolk for part of a challenge.
I did laugh that it made page 3 news of the Eastern Daily Press. East Anglia is rather a quiet place..
Since this is the Top Gear thread, I'll ask this question in it...
Why do Dave find it necessary to ruin the soundtrack of all Top Gear episodes with their own ridiculous half assed music.
Kills half the scenes, so annoying.

Licencing issues, as simple as that. As far as I'm aware, the BBC have long had in place agreements with the major record labels that allow them to use their extensive collections for broadcasts.Since this is the Top Gear thread, I'll ask this question in it...
