Top Gear (series 10)

Introduction: Clarkson introduced series 10 by showing a sneak preview of the forthcoming episodes.

Main Review: Clarkson reviewed the Volkswagen Golf GTI W12 Concept. He says it has been rushed in eight weeks, constructed out of parts from various brands, thus most onboard electronics do not work and it "cannot go round corners," rendering useless its unbelievable power output of 650 bhp. The Stig posts an underwhelming lap time of 1:29.6. Clarkson says that "If you want a slow car that looks like a Golf, get a Golf."

News: The three presenters discuss the Top Gear arson incident, blaming Fifth Gear. (A fire occurred on Sunday, August 12, 2007 at Hill End Farm, destroying a barn used as a storage facility for Top Gear props.)^[1] They point out the "new" furniture in the studio as the old equipment was burnt in the fire. Hammond and May introduce the new supercars showcased across the year, including a more powerful Ford GT and the Lamborghini Reventon. Clarkson rants about new rules banning smoking cigarettes while driving.

Star in a reasonably priced car: Dame Helen Mirren posts a time of 1:52.8 in the Chevrolet Lacetti.

The Cool Wall: Hammond and Clarkson talk about the burnt down Cool Wall, then try to familiarize themselves with some burnt leftovers of car stickers that were once on the board. The segment ends with an abandonment of the old Cool Wall.

Challenge: The presenters each took a light-weight supercar to Mainland Europe to find the best driving road in the world. Clarkson drove a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Hammond a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and May an Aston Martin V8 Vantage N24. Clarkson's Lambo and Hammond's 911 were quick and civilized to drive, but May's stripped-out Aston race car intolerably hot and uncomfortable to drive. They ended up finding the 'best driving road in the world' (from Davos to the Stelvio Pass). May admitted that his Aston was terrible; Hammond and Clarkson found their cars brilliant but could not recommend buying the lightened versions since the performance was not superior enough to justify the price jump.

Introduction: Clarkson and Hammond introduce the show by arguing about the properties of the Porsche 911 and the Audi R8.

Main Review: Clarkson reviews the Audi R8, Audi's first supercar. Hammond makes an appearance in his own Porsche 911 Carrera 2S for a half-mile drag race which he wins by a whisker. The Stig posts a 1:26.2 lap time in the Porsche 911 and 1:24.4 in the Audi R8. Hammond eventually admits that the Audi is the better car, but both agree that it is too cold and clinical like most German perfection-engineered cars.

News: The team navigated to a Porsche design website, where they found 'for the Porsche enthusiast', a specially designed pipe. Clarkson almost swallows his and burns his tongue (he put the wrong end in his mouth as it is 'a Porsche and the hot bit goes at the back'). They also discuss the new Mini and the new SSC Ultimate Aero.

Star in a reasonably priced car: Jools Holland posts a time of 1:49.9.

Challenge: The amphibious cars make a return as the team are challenged drive from Sidcup to Dover, and then across the English Channel. Clarkson used a new Nissan pickup (nicknamed the "Nissank") with a Honda outboard motor, attaching two lightweight oildrums to act as buoyancy devices. Hammond modified a second Volkswagen Vanagon (nicknamed the "Dampervan") by using a fibreglass hull and adding sealant. May used his original Triumph Herald sailboat, adding a collapsible mast and an insert for a centreboard keel. During the trip to Dover, Hammond and Clarkson's cars began to smoke as their foam insulation caused overheating, while May's emits a buzzing sound and also started to smoke. May was the first to launch his car, but the keel insert failed and the car sank on its first attempt. Although recovered and repaired, the Triumph suffered a broken mast on the second attempt and was no longer usable. Hammond's new "Dampervan" successfully floated, but the choppy waters eventually damaged his steering on the first attempt and the vehicle subsequently sank during the next day's attempt. All three eventually set off in Clarkson's Nissan, attempting (and failing) to break Richard Branson's previous record for crossing the Channel in an amphibious vehicle (Branson crossed the Channel using a Gibbs Aquada). They managed to get to France, albeit not Calais where they had planned, but Sangatte. They evaluate that they have been "ambitious, but rubbish."

Introduction: Jeremy Clarkson reads another letter demanding that Top Gear review more cars that are affordable. The letter is purportedly signed "R. Abramovich of Chelsea."

Review: James reviews the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé. He finds it to be his favorite car of the year, and admires it for being contemporary and stylish, much as he perceives himself, to the laughter of Jeremy and the audience.

News: Jeremy Clarkson attempts to demonstrate "Pay by mobile phone parking fees" in London. They also offer a peek at the Lamborghini Reventón.

Review: Hammond tests the auto-parking system in the Lexus LS600 without reading the manual, and finds the system 'rather complicated to use'.

Main Review: Jeremy Clarkson reviews the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, concluding that he respects its technology, but is not excited by it and would prefer a Ferrari 275 GTS. The Stig takes the 599 round the track in 1:21.22.

Star in a reasonably priced car: Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood - Time 1:49.4

Review: Jeremy Clarkson reviews the Peel P50 to see whether it would be practical in daily life, highlighting its usefulness in office buildings. The car is small enough to be pulled into BBC White City, with the Top Gear team more excited by the tiny Peel than by a Koenigsegg or a Ferrari. Clarkson, late for a meeting, decides to drive into BBC Television Centre from inside the White City office, sitting in the car throughout his journey and the meeting. The segment features cameos of several BBC broadcasters including John Humphrys, Fiona Bruce and Dermot Murnaghan. At the end of the review, Clarkson even points out the 'Sports' version, a Peel Trident.

Challenge: Richard Hammond races a Bugatti Veyron against a Eurofighter Typhoon to see which one can travel two miles (up and down a runway) faster. The Typhoon flies vertically for a mile, before returning to the start/finish point, while the Bugatti drives down the track for a mile before quickly turning around and accelerating back to the start/finish point. The Eurofighter Typhoon wins by about two seconds. This is Hammond's first race on Top Gear after his accident.

Episode 4 is an episode-length feature taking place in Botswana, Africa, similar to the American challenge of Series 9.^[2] The episode was shot in early July 2007.

Challenge 1: Buy a used car for up to £1500. Mocking the use of "Chelsea Tractors" for delivering children to school and driving up leafy lanes, rules for the challenge stipulated that the car purchased to cross the spine of Africa had to be two wheel drive, and not designed in any way for off-road use. Clarkson bought a 1981 Lancia Beta Coupe, May a 1985 Mercedes 230E and Hammond a 1963 Opel Kadett, which he nicknamed 'Oliver'. Starting from the Botswana - Zimbabwe border, they then had to drive 1000 miles to the Namibian border. If at any time a presenters' car broke down and could not be restarted, he would have to complete the journey in a Volkswagen Beetle. While the Beetle turns out to be a suitable vehicle for such a challenge, the Beetle is the presenters' collective least favourite car of all time.

Challenge 2: Cross the Makgadikgadi Pan successfully. The first section of the Makgadikgadi salt pan has a thin solid crust, under which lies a mud like substance underneath. Almost immediately, May and Clarkson's cars began to break through the crust. Desperate to shed weight, they each stripped down their cars to the basic shell, removing most of the interior trim and most of the panels. Hammond's car was light enough to cross the salt pan without shedding weight. Clarkson's car broke down frequently, seemingly with electrical issues. For day two on the salt pans, dust became the problem, rather than the "gunk" underneath the salt crust. May and Clarkson had to cover their faces and re-dress to avoid choking on the dust, as each driver was now open to the elements due to having a bare shell. Hammond did not have to take such measures as he did not modify his car earlier.

Responding to accusations by conservationists of "leaving scars across the Makgadikgadi salt pans by driving vehicles across them," the BBC denied that they had gone near any conservation areas, and had followed the advice of environmental experts.^[3]

Shortly before beginning their trip onto the Makgadikgadi Pan, the Top Gear trio informally encountered Botswana's Vice President, Seretse Ian Khama, who displayed no qualms regarding the trio's journey across the flats. However, he did seem taken aback by the fact that the trio were attempting this in their old, used, two-wheel drive cars.

Challenge 3: Time trials round a rally course by "The Stig's African cousin". Hammond's Opel achieved a time of 1:12 before being beaten by May's Mercedes with a 1:06. Clarkson's car however, failed to start, so The Stig walked away.

Challenge 4: Cross the Okavango Delta; the presenters were told to make their cars 'wild animal proof'. May was able to replace several Mercedes parts, due to the car's popularity in Africa. Clarkson however could not find any spare parts for his Lancia Beta so he jury-rigged new doors from soft drink cans, wood and corrugated iron, and attached a megaphone. May painted 'All Adders Are Puffs' on Hammond's Opel, and 'Lite Bite Cafe' on Clarkson's Lancia Beta. At the same time, Clarkson and Hammond were hiding several cuts of meat (including a cow's head) inside May's car, to attract wildlife.

Final results: Both Hammond and May made it to the border before Clarkson, who had suffered two more breakdowns during the final run. Although Hammond's Opel had survived relatively intact (the only major repair being the car's electricals), and May's car had hardly broken down at all, both Clarkson and May, to Hammond's horror, declared the winner to be the Volkswagen Beetle, which had completed the trip with no documented mishaps at all.

Similar in the 2007 Polar Challenge Special, the show's credits included each crew member names with the words "Archbishop Desmond" (e.g. "Archbishop Desmond Clarkson, Archbishop Desmond Hammond, Archbishop Desmond May and Archbishop Desmond Stig...") attached to the start, in homage to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1984.

Main review: The Caparo T1, is tested around the track by Clarkson. It gets round the track in 1:10.6 but is not allowed on the board as its ride height is too low that it cannot drive over a speed bump.

News: The presenters discuss the new Mitsubishi i and Hammond announced he was shipping "Oliver" (his Opel Kadett from the previous episode) to England. His announcement was accompanied by May playing the theme from Romeo and Juliet theme by Nino Rota on his portable keyboard.

Challenge: The presenters race each other across London to try and beat the London rush hour traffic towards London City Airport. Clarkson drove a powerboat on the Thames, but had to go slowly first, Hammond used a bicycle, May drove a Mercedes GL 500 (ending up paying the congestion charge) and the Stig used public transport (the Tube and the buses. Hammond came first, Clarkson a close second, the Stig third and May last. Fearful that this result would ruin the reputation of cars and Top Gear in general, the presenters therefore facetiously disregard the results.

Star in a Reasonably Priced car: Simon Cowell returns to the top of the leaderboard with a time of 1.45.9, filmed two weeks before the rest of the show because of Simon's busy schedule.

Review: The Aston Martin V8 Vantage, driven by Hammond, takes on, and defeats, a German on roller skates with a 300-hp turbo powered rocket backpack in a straight half-mile drag race.

Main Review: Clarkson reviewed the third Generation Honda Civic Type R. He noted that the previous generation is much better than the new one. due to the increased weight of the new model, but a modest 1 hp gain in power. The new model also lacks an independent rear suspension system found in the previous model. These factors resulted in a drop in price. The large spoiler, which obscured rear visibility, was ridiculed by Clarkson. Clarkson raced it against the old model, which seemed faster. The Stig lapped the track in 1:33.5.

News: James May announced that Clarkson had a cold but Clarkson joked that he contracted Bird Flu. A survey was conducted and Clarkson notes that on country roads, 4% of accidents are due to speeding, while 96% remain unknown. They mention that it might be due to animals on the road and Clarkson concluded that speeding on country roads is relatively safe.

Review: May reviewed the Alfa Romeo 159 and he will have to put a pound into Top Gear Italian Car Road Test Cliché Swear Box if he used any fake Italiano to describe the car (eg. soul, passion). He raced against Graham Boanas to cross the Humber River without using the Humber Bridge. May loses the race by seconds. (This segment was originally filmed for Series 8, but was rescheduled for broadcast.)^[4]

Star in a Reasonably Priced car: England rugby international star Lawrence Dallaglio posted a time of 1:47.4.

Review: Clarkson encourages drivers to ditch their Range Rovers and Porsche Cayennes for the 500-bhp BMW M5 Touring and 507-bhp Mercedes E63 AMG Estate because of similar practicality, superior comfort, and far superior power. But he admits he'd still prefer to own a Range Rover so that he can annoy environmentalists.

Challenge: Richard Hammond debuts another innovative, and wildly destructive, form of motorsport - motorhome racing. The justification is that most racers tow their race vehicle behind them in a large travel trailer which often doubles as their accommodation for the racing weekend. Thus driving to, racing in and then driving back in the same vehicle streamlines the process.

The race was held at the Essex Raceway with a field of six entrants. These included Hammond himself driving a Ford Midas, Matt Neal driving a Mitsubishi L300, Anthony Reid in a nimble Toyota Liteace, Tom Chilton in a large Chevrolet, Mat Jackson driving a Fiat Ducato MV70 Globetrotter and finally a "Desperation driver" driving a Ford Transit

The rules of Motorhome racing state that all work on the vehicles must be completed prior to sunset on the day before the race and that a driver must spend the night before the race in their vehicle. This forced the drivers to choose between stripping down their vehicles and having a bad night's sleep, or leaving a heavy vehicle with a good night's sleep. Only James May declined to strip down his vehicle. In the race, the Toyota LiteAce came in first, followed by the hulking Chevrolet and Hammond in third, despite having suffered massive structural failure. May came in last after both getting lost and then crashing into a roof-mounted air conditioning unit which had fallen off of Hammond's disintegrating vehicle, sending him into the barrier.

Back in the studio Clarkson announced a super-sized new German motorhome called "The Performance" with a luxurious interior. Clarkson described it as being perfect for motorhome racing as it stored a Wiesmann MF in its cargo space.

Main review: Clarkson reviews the Aston Martin DBS, continuously comparing it to the Aston Martin DB9 and saying that you should think of it as a DB9-S. He says it's the best car he's driven all year, but the other two can't justify the 50 grand price hop over the DB9.

News: Top Gear announces lots of new cars are released e.g Mitsubishi Evo X and the Morgan Aero Max. They also pointed out that Australia "bought" Top Gear which referred to the recent approval of creating a local Australia version.

Challenge: The Top Gear team celebrate the 40th anniversary of British Leyland with a £1,200 car challenge (paid "out of their own pockets"), ending up with Jeremy's Rover SD1, Richard's Triumph Dolomite Sprint and James's Austin Princess. Clarkson arrives first at a meeting point in England, followed by Hammond and May. They then go to a 'secret' destination in England in the cars, ostensibly at one of British Leyland's old factories (only to learn that the facilities were either sold or demolished.)

Challenges 1, 2 and 3 took place at the MIRA car testing facility, with money earned back towards the purchase price of their cars for each challenge passed.

Challenge 1, Performance: The trio attempt to beat a time set by The Stig in a Datsun 120Y of similar vintage to their cars, which they fail to do.

Challenge 2, Handbrakes: The cars must be parked, in neutral, on a 1 in 3 slope, earning £100 if their handbrake holds them in place. May manages the feat; Clarkson's car emits a large cloud of obscuring smoke, allowing him to claim success; and Hammond's Dolly rolls backwards down the hill and nearly knocks over the grade sign.

Challenge 3, Ride comfort: The cars are driven over a cobbled road at 30 mph, with several eggs suspended in a colander over the driver; the trio would earn £10 for each gram of egg left in the colander after the test, and lose £10 for each piece of trim lost. May and Clarkson lost 2 interior mountings (Clarkson, in particular, losing his left rear door) while Hammond lost 6 pieces.

Challenge 4, Build quality: This took place at the Top Gear test track. The cars were filled to the brim with water, then the trio (using a snorkel) drove around the track as far as possible, stopping when the water leaked out to a level below the steering wheel; 20 pence were earned per yard covered. Hammond completed half a lap (1500 yards), May did over 1 1/2 laps (4,500 yards), and Clarkson completed only 10 yards before the right rear door fell off. After the final scores were tallied, May was declared the winner by earning back his entire car's value plus £20, proving that his Austin Princess was the one good car that British Leyland ever made.

Star in a Reasonably Priced car: Jennifer Saunders sets a lap time of 1.46.1, which came in second place, only 0.2 of a second slower than the lap time leader Simon Cowell.

Main review:: Clarkson reviews the Vauxhall VXR8, a rebadged HSV Clubsport R8. Although on the same pace as the BMW M5, the barn-door engineered Australian car is £30,000 less, because "it's about 30,000 times less complicated." Clarkson loves it, but wouldn't have it over an M5. Sets a time of 1:31.3 in wet and oily conditions.

Investigation: Clarkson and May set out to discover the first car to have the control layout that cars use today. After investigating many old cars, including a Benz Motorwagen, an early Royal Enfield quad bike, a De Dion-Bouton and a Ford Model T, they name the first car with a modern layout to be the Cadillac Type 53 from 1916 which was then popularized by the Austin 7.

Star in a Reasonably Priced car:James Blunt posts a time of 1.48.3 on a wet track.

Challenge: Hammond drives the Renault R25 Formula One car, which took both the driver's (with Fernando Alonso) and constructor's championship titles in the 2005 Formula One season season. He is to do two laps around Stowe Circuit at Silverstone. Hammond tries to get the car rolling with the anti-stall program kicking in eight times before completing half a lap and stalling again as he spins out from lack of grip due to lack of tyre and brake warmth. Hammond completes the required two laps around the track the second time. May comments that the telemetry shows that Hammond only hit full throttle in the car for 0.2 of a second. (This segment was originally prepared for Series 9, but was rescheduled due to Hammond's accident.)^[5]

Star in a Reasonably Priced car (take two): Lewis Hamilton, driving on a wet and oily track, posts a time of 1.44.7 in the original Reasonably-Priced Car, the Suzuki Liana, which has been kept to be used by Formula One drivers. This placed him third overall on the F1 racers' board, with the same time as Jenson Button (although he did it on a dry track). His time is so impressive considering the conditions, being less than half a second behind the Stig's dry track time, that Clarkson demands to know how he had managed it, then asks him to return at some point to post a time in dry conditions.

Review: Clarkson supervises a driver-less BMW on a lap of the track. The time for the lap was not revealed.

Main Review: As Clarkson has been told by the producers that he is not allowed to test any more supercars for the rest of the series, he decides to review the Daihatsu Materia hatchback alongside a "close" rival - the new Ascari A10. He says the Daihatsu is far more practical and economical, but it is too boring around the corners and is nowhere near as fast as the Ascari. Clarkson then announces that he prefers the A10 and its engine tone. The Ascari goes round the track faster than the Koenigsegg CCX with a time of 1:17.3, taking it to the top of the Power Lap board.

News: There is no news in this episode due to "lack of time".

Review: May travelled to Hungary to test drive the new generation Fiat Nuova 500. He races some youths on BMX bikes through the streets of Budapest and is just pipped at the finish.

Star in a Reasonably Priced car: Keith Allen gets a time of 1:51.7 on what the Stig said was the wettest day on record.

Challenge: In the previous series, the presenters planted their own bio-fuel crop, which was rapeseed. Having harvested the crops they accidentally made 500 gallons worth of bio-diesel. In order to dispose of it they take part in the Britcar 24 hour endurance race at Silverstone Circuit using a modified BMW 330d. Arriving at the event, the team discover that it is not an event for novices like they had expected, but it was a fully professional endurance race and the team would be competing alongside actual 200mph supercars.

For qualifying, each team member had to do three laps each. Hammond was very unfamiliar with the track, and May forgot to do his flying lap. The team reveal their secret weapon; The Stig. After his three laps the team are stunned to find that they are not bottom of the table.

They then had to do three laps in the night as well. However, disaster strikes when May is completing his three lap stint. The turbo, clutch and fly wheel break down and the fuel pump splits, thanks to the large amounts of methanol in the bio-diesel that had "eaten" away the seals. The team qualify in 42nd place, out of 59. The mechanics work through the night, doing the fastest repair job ever, but the team still misses the race start, and has to start from pitlane. The car comes to life minutes before the completion of the parade lap with The Stig behind the wheel.

The car starts the race in last place but the Stig climbs 20 places in the board into 39th. But the car breaks down again, taking 30 minutes to repair. The Stig climbs out of the car and May takes it out next. Clarkson completes his 3-hour stint and Hammond is next. He collides with a Mosler race car, sending him spinning off and being towed back into pitlane to have the car repaired which took three hours mending it, after which they were in last place. The Stig makes up for lost ground, putting them back in the race, and the others then take their turns. During Clarkson's final stint, the front tyres start to wear rapidly so the car is brought back to the pits for new tyres. The car finished the race 39th overall and 3rd in their class.

Review: May reviews the new Jaguar XF. He praises the engines, modernness, the Ian Callum design and the interior design. However, he felt that the suspension of the SV8 he drives is a little stiff.

News: Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and Koenigsegg CCXR. James May is Heat magazine's weird celebrity crush of the year, and Clarkson reveals that Hammond had won an award for the best celebrity hair cut of the year while James May had been voted as the worst. They also reveal car related Christmas 'gift ideas', such as a 'travel rabbit', a carbon-fibre shoehorn, a Ferrari branded sledge, a wobbly headed model of the former president of Nissan USA Yutaka Katayama, Lamborghini Christmas tree baubles, a £1500 Bugatti aftershave and carbon fibre carrying case, and a Tee-shirt featuring Nissan Z cars. The co-presenters proceed to destroy majority of the gifts 'in the spirit of Christmas'.

Main Review: Clarkson, May and Hammond take three cars to Spain: the new BMW M3, Mercedes C63 AMG and The Audi RS4. Hammond praises the M3 for its excellent drive and its 'spectacular tailslides'. Clarkson praises the Mercedes for its lunacy and how it is the most powerful with its 6.2 litre 450bhp engine, calling it an 'axe murderer with headlights' due to flaws with the traction control. May brings the Audi RS4 which he calls a very good car due to its subtlety and all-wheel drive system. Clarkson's Mercedes, which has the biggest legroom and boot, wins in a drag race, prompting May to start measuring parts of his Audi to see where it beats the Mercedes. Hammond set up a Powerpoint presentation which only proves that Clarkson's car has the best engine.

The Stig sets a time of 2:15.16 in his 'hire car', Emerson Fittipaldi's 1972 F1 world championship winning Lotus 72 before testing the other cars. The BMW M3 was the fastest of the three with 2:38.9, the Mercedes a 2:43.5 and the Audi a 2:43.9. When The Stig claimed the handling of the Mercedes was too 'wayward and uncontrollable', Clarkson claims the Stig was not trying hard enough and says he can hit an apple placed on the apex of a corner at full speed. Clarkson fails repeatedly; The Stig then hits it first time in the M3 forcing Clarkson to eat the splattered fruit. Clarkson then brings a 'cock-o-meter' to show how much of a cock (idiot) an M3 driver looks. In the end, when driving each other's cars, the Audi is described by Hammond as a 'very nice place to be', and how the 4WD makes sense. The Mercedes is described as 'chinsy' by May, but he likes the engine. Clarkson then admits the BMW is very good and that Hammond was talking sense. In the end all three agreed that the BMW M3 was the best, with Clarkson saying the other cars are just copies, as good as they are. However, Clarkson ends by claiming that he could not ignore the insanity of the Mercedes and would still have it himself.

Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Dr. Who star David Tennant posted a time of 1.48.8 and complains about being half a second behind Billie Piper as she cut the Hammerhead corner on the track. Clarkson defended keeping her time as Billie was wearing a see-through shirt the day she was interviewed.
