British personality Jeremy Clarkson, host of Top Gear, brings you Heaven and Hell, a critical review of the best and worst cars in the automotive world. Clarkson trawls the whole of "car-dom" to bring you seven great cars and truffles the undergrowth looking for seven automotive disasters. The good ones - the Ferraris, the Porsches and the Aston Martins - are driven to within an inch of their lives on the track. The bad ones are killed. Sawn in half. Hung, drawn and quartered. They're hammered and blown to pieces with dynamite and their skeletons left in the open to rot. There's even some time for a game of car jousting.

If the mere mention of Porsches, Ferraris, and Maseratis is enough to get your heart racing, you'll want to take Heaven and Hell out for a spin. Jeremy Clarkson, host of the International Emmy award-winning British series Top Gear, puts you in the driver's seat of the sports cars of your dreams (and other ill-fated vehicles of your worst nightmares). You only have to be a fan of vintage James Bond films to get a rush from the tire-smoking test drive of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Clarkson is authoritative and funny, and his enthusiasm is contagious. But woe to "the unimaginative junk built with no soul, flair or passion." "Seven deadly sinners" are dispatched to "hell" in creative ways. Clarkson purchases a Perodua, drives it across the street from the dealer, and then pummels it with a sledgehammer. He stages a jousting match between the "hateful" TR7 and a Ford Scorpio, A Citron gets the Monty Python treatment when a dumpster is dropped atop it. The test drives around the track can get repetitive, but considering that this is the closest many of us will ever get to a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti or a Porsche 911, just strap yourself in, sit back, and enjoy the ride. --Donald Liebenson

The good include truly sublime rides, the bad are just ridiculous. Good fun. Clarkson drives some fine and atrocious cars in this DVD. This is great entertainment & strongly recommended.

Great Cars but not as funny as the show

The DVD is entertaining and contains a boat load of great cars, of course, however it's not as funny as the show "Top Gear". That being said the DVD has this feature, which lets you cut out all the music so you can listen just to the car engines.

. A fun way to spend a bit of time. While the Heaven portions of the DVD were just that.the demolition of innocent cars was a bit disturbing in a Monty Python sort of way. I love Top Gear and Jeremy never lets me down when I need a laugh or an "oooh" at some amazing piece of art/machine.

If I'd paid the normal price for this it would only have got 3 stars from me. Vauxhall Monaro. VW Golf GTI. He may be the star, and the best thing about Top Gear, but he is not as good without Hammond and May.
Ford Scorpio. Aston Martin DB9 Volante, Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Range Rover Sport. BMW M5. Fortunately for me I picked this up very cheap. Chevrolet Corvette.
Ferrari F340, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari 612 Scaglietti. Perodua Kelisa. Triumph TR7. FYI the cars are:. Renault Espace.
TVR Sagaris. As some previous reviewers have already said, in places it is funny, but it lacks the spark that Clarkson has when he's working with Hammond and May. Maserati Quattroporte. Nope this isn't as good as Top Gear, but it does feature some superb cars, as well as the rubbish. Citroen 2CV.
