Top Gear skids, roars and explodes its way back onto the TV with a brand new series.
It starts with an extraordinary race as Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May set out to discover what Top Gear might have been like 60 years ago. To this end, James grabs himself a gorgeous old Jaguar XK120 sports car while Richard chooses to torture himself on the brutal but rather fantastically named Vincent Black Shadow motorbike. Meanwhile, in an almost unprecedented move, Jeremy decides to take the train. But not just any old train; he's on the footplate of the Tornado, a brand new steam train built to the original blueprints used to create some of Britain's finest locomotives back in the heyday of the railways.
Despite being old and a bit fat, Jeremy has to feed the boiler with a constant supply of coal, without which the whole train will grind to a halt. The challenge behind this race was simple - the first one to get from London to Edinburgh would be the winner - but what happens along the way adds up to one of Top Gear's most incredible and most epic races to date

Most likely it will be on here on SBS after the current Australian season finishes, and perhaps after a new season of Mythbusters or something else. (considering that this Top Gear Aus season only has a few weeks left)

Woohoo top gear UK is the best, good info in the shows and they are freaking hilarious. Top Gear Aus, by comparison, is shit as, they try to mimic the chemistry that Hammond, Clarkson and May have going on and add a lame attempt at Aussieness and it doesn't work IMO.

(never thought I'd say this) Screw the Aussies, bring on the poms :yikes::o

*puts reminder in phone to download mid next week*
