1/8

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May decide to buy second-hand lorries despite knowing almost nothing about the world of trucks, and then set about discovering how easy it is to be an HGV driver. Jeremy is also on the test track with a scary Porsche 911, a tame Lamborghini Gallardo and a surprisingly talented Labrador. And chat show legend Michael Parkinson is the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car.

2/8

One of Top Gear's highpoints was the now legendary episode from 2007 where Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond  and  James May cruised across the USA in wrecks they had bought  for under $1000. Challenged to decorate each other's cars as outrageously as they could, May daubed "Man love rules OK" in pink on Hammond's pick-up truck and nearly got the three of them lynched.


Undaunted, in this week's programme they return to the US for another "epic road trip". This time around they take three new generation muscle cars from San Francisco to Utah, while doing their best  to avoid provoking the locals.  Also tonight, Clarkson takes  the Fiat 500 Abarth around the test track and Will Young is the Star (sic) in a Reasonably Priced Car. 

3/8

Jeremy Clarkson quipped in the first of the series that with Jonathan Ross's show off the air, the list of Top Gear's  guests  is suddenly looking more glamorous.  Hence, perhaps, tonight's Hollywood Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, Mark Wahlberg.


It'll be interesting to see how the presenters fare with  this week's credit crunch-style challenge: they have to modify an ordinary second-hand family car and get it to lap the test track as fast as a brand new, purpose-built sports saloon. Meanwhile, James May enlists the help of F1 world champion Mika Hakkinen in a quest to discover why the Finns are such good racing drivers. 

4/8

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are challenged to drive from the heart of Switzerland to the  North Western coast of England on  just one tank of fuel.  And as an incentive, the first one to arrive gets to turn on the Blackpool Illuminations.

5/8

Richard Hammond celebrates the 40th birthday of the iconic Ferrari Daytona by taking one back to its spiritual home on the Riviera before attempting to  beat James May and a multi-million pound power boat in a race from Portofino to St Tropez. Meanwhile, back in the UK Jeremy Clarkson is out on the test track testing  the new BMW M3 saloon against a young pretender from Japan, the Lexus IS-F.

6/8

Jeremy Clarkson and James May invade Greenham Common airbase to ask if the Communists ever made a good car.  Out on  the test track, Richard Hammond  goes crazy in the Veritas, a Germany sports car, and Jeremy conducts an almost ridiculously thorough road test of the new Ford Fiesta. Plus, London mayor Boris Johnson is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

7/8

James May travels to California to take a look at what is being hailed as the future of motoring, the hydrogen-powered Honda Clarity. On the test track Jeremy Clarkson has a high-voltage encounter with the Tesla, a battery-powered super-car, and Richard Hammond takes an affectionate look back at 50 years of Touring Car racing. The star in the reasonably priced car is Tom Jones, and there are some festive fun and games in the studio to boot.

8/8

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May round off the current series with one of the most spectacular road trips they have ever attempted. Arriving in Vietnam, they have to travel the entire length of the country in just eight days. But first they have to buy some suitable transport for the trip, and despite having several million Dong in their pockets, this proves to be rather more difficult than they expected, especially in one of the most expensive car markets in the world.
