| 47 | The Perfect Road Trip | 2013-11-18 |
| Seven days, more than 1,000 miles, 20 cars, two boats, a motorbike and one dream...The Perfect Road Trip. The aim: to select the ideal mode of transport for each leg of a pilgrimage from Venice, Italy to Pau in France – home to a legendary street circuit and the origins of Grand Prix racing. On the way we prepare by taking to the track at Monza – the home of Italian Formula One. We try to get noticed on the road course in Monaco in a Bugatti, a Lamborghini and a Model T Ford. After cruising the canals in Venice we take to the tarmac and things look good - thanks to the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Mercedes SLS Black. Throw in a Pagani Huayra, Porsche Cayman S and a GT3 as well as the Aston Martin Vanquish centenary edition, Bentley V8 convertible, Rolls Royce Phantom coupe and the face-bending BAC Mono all seems pretty perfect to us. There’s culture too. An all-out effort to get the Birmingham burger-boy to savour the culinary delights of Italy and France – including octopus and an old balcony. Then it’s time to turn up the heat even more with a Top Gear race... and the worst forfeit in television history Finally we head to the historic road course in Pau. Surely nothing could spoil our Perfect Road Trip... Enjoy...! Jeremy Clarkson & Richard Hammond | ||

| 37 | Top Gear At the Movies | 2011-11-14 |
| Cars! Film! Cars on film! Film involving cars! You get the idea. It’s basically a Blu-ray involving those two things. Gasp as we find the perfect drift car for a gritty, Bourne Identity-style chase! Cheer as we stage a race for all those unsung heroes of the movie industry! Whoop as we find the car that makes the perfect dramatic exhaust note to dub onto an action sequence! Make some other sort of noise we haven’t thought of yet as we re-attempt the classic Man With The Golden Gun barrel roll, having frankly made a total hash of it when we first tried it on telly! All this plus a vast fleet of sexy supercars and a man with a jet pack racing a Skoda. Top Gear At The Movies. It’s better than an actual movie. Probably. Actually, it depends on which movie we’re talking about. Truth is, you’d be better judging this on a case-by-case basis. Why not write to us with the name of a film and we’ll tell you whether this Blu-ray is better or not. Actually, on second thoughts, don’t. | ||

| 32 | Apocalypse | 2010-11-22 |
| Just what will motoring be like in a post apocalyptic world that’s been blown to bits by nuclear bombs or a massive comet? It’s a burning question that’s on literally nobody’s mind, and we give you all the answers in this brand new, incredibly cheerful Top Gear DVD. Embarking on a terrifying journey into the future, we show you how to drive to work in the perpetual darkness of a Nuclear Winter, how to make motorsport exciting when there’s only two racing drivers left alive, and, in a world where all cars are bristling with weapons, how to survive the savage, explosive fury of a Doomsday M.O.T test. And amongst all the nuclear carnage, we also tackle the ultimate petrolhead’s dilemma – what cars would you take for a final drive if there was only one barrel of petrol left on the planet? The explosions are huge, the cars are superb, so relax and enjoy. PS. This frightening vision of a post nuclear world is backed up by top scientists, in case you think it’s us just cocking about. | ||

| 20 | Top Ground Gear Force | 2008-03-14 |
| The Top Gear team of James May, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond swap the steering wheel for the shovel as they embark on a Ground Force style makeover challenge as part of Sport Relief. The Top Gear team of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond decide, for Sport Relief to resurrect the show Ground Force, and provide a garden makeover to the garden of one of Britain's 'sporting legends', namely Sir Stephen Redgrave. Helping them are a team of Poles. As the team's only 'country bumpkin' Hammond is the team leader. However, his garden plan fails to impress Clarkson and May, who want to include a water feature and a shed, respectively. They are sent to a Wyevale Garden Centre to pick up supplies, returning with their desired equipment. Hammond uses a small digger to dig a trench, to be used to create a 'river of gravel.' Clarkson earlier revealed his unique method for pulling up weeds and cutting branches off trees using a shotgun. Hammond's digger topples over in the trench, so he returns with a much larger digger to pull it out, resulting in leaving numerous Caterpillar tracks marks all over the garden. Meanwhile, James and the Poles have completed the shed. Hammond's tree seat is completed. He brings in a 14 tone crane to hook the seat so he could slip it over the tree. Despite the machine getting stuck, the crane is long enough to hook onto the seat. Because he had not got the hang of the crane, he accidentally swished it sideways, destroying both the shed and the seat. Clarkson decides to remove a rockery by using a homemade bomb. During the explosion one wall of the shed James built is smashed. After this happens May steps out of the shed with a plank of wood, and asks what time the programme will air. After being informed it was going to air after the watershed, he exclaims 'you're a fu-'. At this point, the episode cuts to the next scene. Jeremy orders some cement to pave over the garden, but he orders too little, and only a small | ||

| 18 | Series 10 Best of (1) | 2008-01-01 |
| Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond und James May schrecken vor nichts zurück. Erst recht nicht, wenn die Ehre des Automobils auf dem Spiel steht! Der Bugatti Veyron gilt als Sportwagen der Superlative. Der Stärkste unter den Starken. Mit 1001 PS beschleunigt der Wagen in unvorstellbaren zweieinhalb Sekunden von 0 auf 100 Stundenkilometer. Bei Top Gear allerdings bekommt es der Veyron mit einem ernst zu nehmenden Gegner zu tun: dem Eurofighter Typhoon. Jedes seiner Triebwerke erzeugt etwa 90 Kilonewton Schub – umgerechnet mehr als 150.000 PS. Die Spitzengeschwindigkeiten des 85 Millionen Euro teuren Eurofighters liegen bei 2400 Stundenkilometern. Das Duell könnte kaum spektakulärer sein. Die Frage aller Fragen: Wer schafft eine Meile schneller? Der Bugatti in der Horizontalen oder der Eurofighter in der Vertikalen? Allen Treibhaus-Diskussionen zum Trotz widmet sich Top Gear in dieser Folge Serienmodellen mit unscheinbaren Äußerem aber dafür mit Leistungsdaten reinrassiger Sportwagen. In einem von AMG getunten T-Modell der Mercedes E-Klasse und dem BMW M5 Touring wagt sich Jeremy Clarkson bis vor die Stammkneipe der lokalen Greenpeace-Gruppe in Manchester – mit verblüffendem Ausgang. Mit Bleifuß unterwegs auf der hauseigenen Rennstrecke ist Sänger und Songwriter James Blunt, der nach eigenen Angaben viel besser mit einem Panzer fahren kann als mit einem Auto, außerdem Pate eines Sesselliftes ist und seine Schwester erfolgreich mit einem Hubschrauberpiloten verkuppelt hat, indem er sie kurzerhand auf Ebay einstellte. Außerdem: Im Vergleichstest treten der Audi R8 und der Porsche 911 Carrera 2S gegeneinander an. In Budapest muss der Fiat 500 in einem Rennen gegen die besten BMX-Biker Ungarns seine Tauglichkeit als Stadtflitzer unter Beweis stellen. Und: Der Aston Martin Vantage Roadster bekommt es mit einem menschlichen Marschflugkörper aus Deutschland zu tun. Dirk Auer tritt gegen den Supersportwagen an. Er hat drei Raketenantriebe mit ins | ||
