I am continually impressed by Top Gear. For one they've succeeded in making a car show (or simply an interest specific show) that appeals to people with no interest in the subject matter.

If you've never seen an episode, they are quite accessible, and SBS screens episodes most Monday nights at 7:30.

Recently, however, they upped their ambition. They attempt to be the first people ever to drive to the north pole. If you, like me, was left wanting to know more about what happened (who was filming Hammond?) check out the official Top Gear Polar Special production notes.

A great show. It is.
