That was just...wow. Incredible.
The series has had its ups and downs, but this one special just shows Top Gear at its best, and why we love it so much.
The boys being the boys, not walking stereotypes. Touches of humanity. Chunks of humour. Tons of risk, plenty pathos, gorgeous scenery, and genuine surprise. Bloody hell, that was excellent.
When people who have never seen Top Gear before want me to suggest an episode, I've shown them the Polar Special in the past. Now, I might just show them this. Stunning.
I can't wait to see the HD rip.
