Top Gear episode 1 of Series 21 airs tonight with Clarkson, May and Hammond playing with 1980s hot hatches and Hugh Bonneville is Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.
Top Gear is back tonight with the first episode in Series 21
Sunday nights haven’t been the same without Top Gear, but it’s back tonight – Sunday 2nd February 2014 – with the first episode of series 21. Yes, Top gear comes of age.
Jeremy Clarkson opts for an original VW Golf GTI, Richard Hammond chooses a Vauxhall Nova SRi and James May a Ford Fiesta XR2i.
The 80s Hot Hatch Road Trip encompasses the required set of challenges, including a race inside a supermarket, a tricky hillclimb and ends up at an old army training ground in Wales (which no doubt has the odd tank or two) where moustachioed Top Gear Police use Die Hard-size explosions to attack the trio.
Apart from that, the BBC is being tight-lipped about what else the first show in the new series offers, although there’s little doubt there will be a new car or two; perhaps not the Alfa 4C (which comes next week) or the McLaren P1 (which we will probably have to wait for). Or maybe not?
Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is Downton Abbey’s Lord Grantham – Hugh Bonneville – who takes to the Dunsfold track in the reasonably priced Astra.
Top gear – Episode One of Series 21 – airs on BBC 2 tonight – 2nd February 2014 – at 8pm.
