This fast-paced and stunt-filled motor show tests whether cars, both mundane and extraordinary, live up to their manufacturers' claims; the long-running show travels to locations around the world, performing extreme stunts and challenges to see what the featured cars are capable of doing; celebrity guests appear on some episodes to help test the vehicles; things don't always go as planned, though, with broken bones and mechanical mishaps sometimes part of the experiments; Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May hosted the show for more than a decade before giving way to a new crew in 2016, including Chris Harris, Paddy McGuinness and Freddie Flintoff.

Audience Member Seen Alan Partridge?? There's three of him on here it's the inspiration that Steve Coogan used to continue the series. The worst Top Gear series until Chris Evans came along. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the best start to the series. Admirable, but a slippery start for sure.
