Episode 8
Top Gear, Series 22

This episode of Top Gear features two films that were shot for the last series. In the first film, Jeremy, Richard and James immerse themselves in the lifestyle of the traditional classic car enthusiast. Armed with affordable classics including a Fiat 124 Spyder, a Peugeot 304 Cabriolet and an MGB GT, the trio set off on an adventure that includes brown beer, breakdowns and a hair-raising classic car show.

In the second film, Clarkson, Hammond and May try to become lifestyle leisure enthusiasts with the help of some incredibly cheap lifestyle leisure vehicles. Restricted to a maximum budget of £250, the trio buy three massive mileage SUVs - a Vauxhall Frontera, a Jeep Cherokee and a Mitsubishi Shogun - and then embark on a series of action-packed challenges that include battling with the Stig's 'Leisure Activity Cousin' and a race with terrifying consequences for the loser.

James May's next TV role after standing down from Top Gear has been revealed as a new car programme for BBC Two called Building Cars Live.
Springwatch's Kate Humble will co-host along with Ant Antstead, presenter on Channel 4's For the Love of Cars.
The show will go behind the scenes of the UK's car manufacturing industry to explain the science and engineering involved.
It will consist of two 90 minute live episodes and will air in the autumn.
The programmes will track in real time the transformation from raw materials to finished vehicle and will broadcast live from BMW's Mini plant in Oxford.
A press release from the BBC announcing the show included a quote from May saying: "I can't wait to build a car. Live."
There had been speculation over May's future on Top Gear after Jeremy Clarkson was dropped by the BBC in March following a "fracas" with a producer.

Former Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May have signed up to present a new show on Amazon's streaming video service.
The trio will front three series of a new motoring programme for Amazon Prime, with the first season to be made available worldwide in 2016.
The move follows their departure from the hit BBC Two show earlier this year.
Clarkson's contract was not renewed following an "unprovoked physical attack" on a Top Gear producer.
His co-hosts then followed him in leaving the show

Probably. I bet it will be, since Clarkson's company is handling production. Ill probably watch it, as I really enjoyed Top Gear, as I enjoyed the humor, even if it lacked class

Matt LeBlanc to co-present Top Gear alongside Chris Evans

The former Friends actor Matt LeBlanc will be the new co-presenter of Top Gear, the BBC has announced.

The actor, who also starred in the BBC series Episodes, will join Chris Evans, who took over after Jeremy Clarkson’s exit. LeBlanc has previously appeared on the show as a guest.

“Matt’s a lifelong fellow petrolhead and I’m thrilled he’s joining Top Gear. Acting out our craziest car notions on screen is a dream job and I know we’ll both be debating some epic road trip ideas. We can’t wait to share what we’ve been up to on screen later this year,” Evans said.

LeBlanc said: “As a car nut and a massive fan of Top Gear, I’m honoured and excited to be a part of this iconic show’s new chapter. What a thrill.”

He later tweeted: “I love the show. Should be fun.”

I can't say as I'm surprised- Matt Leblanc has been more than a guest on the show, he came back to do an extra bit where he (supposedly) flew to the Top Gear track to drive a car around the track then immediately flew back to California.

Also, he has experience with UK TV shows, having starred in Episodes as a US actor trying to fit in on a British TV show.  Plus, with the failure of Top Gear USA, this might pick up more fans on this side of the pond.

I wouldn't have guessed they'd do it, but Matt Leblanc would certainly be on the short list of American celebrities that would make the list.

Many US actors pretend they are aware of Top Gear when they appear on the show, but you can tell they probably didn't even know that other countries even had their own media industries....

And there is the answer.
New top gear need to be different from old top gear, but most importantly they have to get viewers. The show can be awesome, but if noone watches it, it will flop. (Firefly)
A lot of people on both sides of the atlantic are curious about it now, much more  than when there was talk of Coultard and Sabine.

And Episodes was hillarious :D

The "news" about Chris Evans puking, and now this.......has me dubious.

The original trio was everyman with all our imperfections, now a millionaire DJ and Mr Handsome Movie Star......  :think:

I'll give them a fair shake, but I'm expecting to dislike it as much as TG USA......


What I want to know is when can I see what Clarkson, Hammond and May have been up to!
In my perfect world they would do  something like the TG Specials exclusively........

The "news" about Chris Evans puking, and now this.......has me dubious.

The original trio was everyman with all our imperfections, now a millionaire DJ and Mr Handsome Movie Star......  :think:

I'll give them a fair shake, but I'm expecting to dislike it as much as TG USA......


What I want to know is when can I see what Clarkson, Hammond and May have been up to!
In my perfect world they would do  something like the TG Specials exclusively........

Excellent point, and possibly why Top Gear USA failed- one was a race car driver, one was a (reasonably) famous actor/comedian, and the other was an annoying know it all, but not in a good way.

Plus I didn't like the way they gave each of them an identity (The Driver, The Wrecker, The Expert) which the presenter was then required to live up to.  That severely limited each one really.

it might be interesting, but it won't be Top Gear without the other buffoons at the helm.
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

I didn't really liked top gear for the past 3 years anymore because the only ruined classic cars and did over the top tests.

I guess that because they want their audience back and because their budget has been tripled they will be wrecking even more classic cars and will be doing even more stupid tests. :facepalm:

I am not sure but i don't think top gear will ever be as good as it once was.

After the Build Team was given their walking papers the show got better, but I think by then the magic was gone.

My favourite top gear episodes were the specials and the regulars where they do something crazy like build a hovercraft, space shuttle, go to the magnetic north pole, etc.  :whistle:


What? Build team gone?!  :ahhh I still need to watch seasons 4-15!  :ahhh
Spoilers...  :o
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!
