Top Gear: Polar Special

2007 · 61 min

A laddish, funny lark across frozen emptiness, mixing genuine danger with constant bickering and silliness.

Overview: Clarkson and May, in a seriously modified Toyota, take on Hammond and his dog sled in a 450 mil race to the North pole as they drive over thin ice to face in-tent hostilities, polar bear fear and desperate food fantasies.
How it feels: Light, absurd, tense and earnest. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, exploration, friendship, nature
Content: Mild language. No violence, gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
