Poor Hammond- he must have been gutted being beaten after enduring riding a sledge to the north pole! Great show.

Pretty Awesome

Just watched em all on youtube, certainly worth it. Its pretty amazing all things considered.

Truth be told, I think it would be more gratifying to do it on a dogsled... but hey, im a canuck - doing stupid things in stupid cold weather is what we're known for [every Canadian kid knows EXACTLY what is going through jeremy's mind when he encounters that bolt....]

I strongly recommend checking out some of the
other Top Gear bits, the channel crossing is an adventure of an entirely different sort...

does anyone have a link they could post to the youtube videos of the expedition? I looked for it but couldnt find it...

Arctic Trucks there´s a little icon on the bottom of the page that says "see the arctic film" ... not the show it self though but a little clip of the truck ...

and this? YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

s*** that top gear special is sooo sweet, i downloaded it in HD,

AMAZING

i love clarksons expidition philosophy: "I think people ought to try to see how easily we can do things"

and when he tells james may when he is bitching about the trip that he is going to be the first person who gets to the north pole and doesnt want to be there

actually i downloaded the entire TOP GEAR cataloge... sweet

Anyone Flying on Air Canada.... I just watched it on the Plane! (days after I watched it on youtube!) I did note however that there is much more intro on the BBC version than the youtube version, but there are moments in the youtube version which are not in the in-flight version (like when they are both asleep while driving along)

Anyone looking for it it's in the science/tech secion of the TV menu.
