Top Gear UK: season 19
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
Typical Top Gear shenanigans. Funny, entertaining, informative. My young daughter loves them too. This particular series, they stopped bleeping the profanity. Jeremy Clarkson drops the f-bomb 3 times in the Africa special! —Wasn’t expecting that. So parents beware.
ALSO, they changed the studio videography. Its gone all herky-jerky. Not sure if its a style thing or a technical problem.- j.m.
So like I said, the season only has 5 episodes plus the new Africa Special so I guess you can say it’s really 6 but still; I wish it had been longer. The season has all your “normal” Top Gear road tests, drag races, incredible cars and of course that dark-sublime-hilarious jokes we all love. Like the other person in the reviews said, this is not censored when it comes to words which I personally found a bit shocking after the first “s##t!” and several “F-word” variations but I mean, Family Guy does/say stuff way more insuitable. All in all I loved the season and I know you will too! My only, and I really mean only, complain is that for some dumb reason the BBC does not want to release their new TG in Blu-Ray. Top Gear is a very visual show with dynamic colors on cars, beautiful landscapes, incredible viewing/racing angles and yet we can’t enjoy it in amazing BR. I don’t see why they do this, but is not enough for me to give this anything less than 5-stars. Again, I loved this season and did not had any issues with delivery since it was in my mailbox in 3 days normal shipping.

Season 19 of Top Gear only lasts 5 episodes before the Africa Special. But it is well worth the money–classic segments abound, from Richard Hammond’s review of the Pagani Huyara supercar and James May’s and Jeremy Clarkson’s rugby match with Kias (proving Kias are tougher than believed) to mini-epics like the Nevada-to-the border trip and the race from Wembley to Milan. It wraps up with one of their best epics, the two-part search for the source of the River Nile.A warning–they stopped bleeping the guys in this one, so virgin ears will get an earful. Overall, though, this short season ranks among their best.
