SERIES INFO Genre : Comedy Special Interest Talk Show Stars : Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson, James May, The Stig, Chris Harris, Sabine Schmitz, Matt LeBlanc, Rory Reid, Freddie Flintoff, Paddy McGuinness Series Plot : 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 actor Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid. In the summer of 2019 a new crew take up the Top Gear reigns. Two likely lads from Lancashire - Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff (England Cricketer) and Paddy McGuinness (from Max and Paddy fame) along with Chris Harris who survived from the previous series. Be prepared for some good old fashioned northern 'laddish' humour.

Top Gear is a BAFTA and Emmy award winning British television series about motor vehicles, primarily cars. It began in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine show. Over time, and especially since a relaunch in 2002, it has developed a quirky, humorous style. The show is currently presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, and has featured three different test drivers known as The Stig (the first dressed in a black racing outfit, and the second and third dressed in a white one).
