Insanely Great Top Gear: Polar Edition

I was flying from SFO to JFK on United and the flight attendant handed me this crazy portable MP3 video player. As I flipped past the incredibly lame titles they were providing it was as if sunlight hit the headpiece on the staff of Ra. What did I see?

TOP GEAR: POLAR EDITION

Holy crap, this is one of the best episodes EVER. There is really not an instant of suck in this hour of awesome TV entertainment. The basics, without spoiling anything, the team races to the North Pole in an episode that involves everything you love about Top Gear:

•Hammond is served a big bowl of suffering for the entire hour
•Clarkson and May enjoy alcoholic beverages while driving a car over ice
•People are put in life threatening situations
•The stress of the race causes people to hate upon one another and behave badly
•A Toyota HiLux is abused and takes it
•Clarkson takes a shotgun to a can of Spam

Here’s a link to Part 1 of a YouTube hackjob on the full episide (7min chunks or so and low quality.) I suggest finding an HD source!

BTW: Top Gear is a BBC television program, available on BBC-A and elsewhere.
