Ibibnabo Jack as DC Jacqueline ‘Jac’ Williams If you have the time, I highly suggest you take a look at the show, interested in automobiles or not.As always in the ITV drama, we join Vera and her team of main characters as well as a host of new guest stars who we are introduced to for this one episode. It truly is a shame that the viewing of Top Gear is generally limited to the internet via You Tube or Google Video here in the US, but there was a pilot filmed for The Discovery Channel in the US for an American version of Top Gear, but thus far, nothing has happened. It all adds up to one of the greatest television programs, well, ever. Occasionally the segments rival that of some of the best television shows or movies that I have seen, and although they are primarily focused on the car and the hosts themselves, the surrounding environment often plays a large role in the different reviews.But then you add the great soundtracks of the reviews, the quirky setups to the different tests (such as a Bugatti Veyron racing a plane from Italy to England), and the great test laps done by the Stig. Outside of the "acting," the cinematography of the show is breathtaking, given that it is a weekly event in the UK. All together, the hosts balance each other out, and each offer their own perspective to the show, appealing to a wide range of people. Richard Hammond, a rather young Briton who embodies the current generation of automotive fandom. He isn't offensive in any way, and although he may be known as "captian slow," his presentations are quite enjoyable as they always seem to come from someone with a level head. James May, quite possibly the most British man I have ever seen on television or in the movies. On the opposite side of the spectrum, there is Mr. Jeremy Clarkson is rather opinionated on everything, and although he will never hide the fact that he does not like something, he himself is quite likable as a person. For one, the personality of the show is unlike anything I have seen before. Even as an import, Top Gear simply blew my mind away during my first viewing of the show last year when The Discovery Channel ran a season of the show slightly altered for the US Market. On one hand there is the SPEED Channel that is not available in every market, and on the other there is the "Powerblock" on Spike TV that offers little more than how to add a bit of power to your Grandmother's '81 Caprice.
As an American, your selection of automotive programming is quite limited.
