Top Gear (UK)

Jeremy, Richard, and James discuss the subject of bad cars and prove that, even now, you can spend money on a load of old rubbish. Starsky and Hutch legend David Soul is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car, and the team takes on the finest supercars from around the globe with a $480 Jaguar.

Top Gear pounces into action with a Jaguar-themed show. Everyone drives a Jaguar, or two, including the R Coupe concept car, the C Type, the Mark II, the new XJ, the XKRR and the new Aston Martin. In the studio, Jeremy interviews celebrity Tory politician Boris Johnson.

Jeremy Clarkson takes a close look at the latest Porsche 911s. James May gets behind the wheel of a sports classic. And we take the small but powerful Clio V6 to the limit. Anne Robinson drives the reasonably priced car, and we discover the answer to a question that has puzzled the world for decades: which takes longer - women getting ready to go out on the town, or a rally team rebuilding a car?

Top Gear takes a look at track cars. We pit the Mitsubishi Evo VIII and the Subaru Impreza STi head-to-head to discover which is the king of the road-going rally cars. We also put Vauxhall's VX220 Turbo through its paces, and James sets out to beat the caravan-towning speed record.

Jeremy Clarkson and the Top Gear team take a look at driving safety. Jeremy goes on maneuvers in a Hummer. We reveal Sweden's contribution to the world of super-cars: the Koenigsegg. Stuart Hall nominates his Greatest Car, the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud, and the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car is actor Neil Morrissey (Men Behaving Badly, Waterloo Road).

Top Gear looks at the future of motoring. Jeremy Clarkson finds a novel way to drive the new Vauxhall Signum, we travel to Germany to test General Motors' revolutionary Hy-wire concept car, and in Britain we look at the Carver. Star Trek's Captain Jean Luc Picard (aka actor Patrick Stewart) drives the Reasonably Priced Car.

The team has trouble deciding which is the best shed-built supercar in the UK. Jeremy tests the new Phaeton, Volkswagen's first high-end luxury saloon. James May looks at the new Cadillac 16. Five disabled drivers compete to see which is the fastest. The Star in the Reasonably Priced Car is actor-comedian Alan Davies.
