Season 21 of Top Gear gets underway shortly, a week after it has aired in the UK.
In this new series, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May embark on a huge road trip across Ukraine in three small cars with even smaller engines. They re-live the glory days of the 1980s in three ‘classic’ hot hatchbacks, and have a ham-fisted crack at making a public safety film for the government.
There’s also the new Alfa 4C sports car racing a very unusual quad bike, the sensational McLaren P1 tearing a strip off Belgium, an insane six-wheeled Mercedes in the desert, and the unusual sight of James May in a Caterham. And as if that wasn’t enough, the series includes a mad-capped two-part adventure across the wilds of Burma as the presenters take three lorries on what could be Top Gear’s toughest challenge to date.
Fan favourite, ‘Star in a Reasonably Priced Car’ will return to our screens once again, with Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville taking to the track in the first episode of the new series.
Sunday February 9 at 8.30pm on BBC Knowledge.

@victweety – this is probably why they lost the first run rights, really wish SBS could get it back!
Ch9 can’t show this until Foxtel airs it first. Also ch9 in Adelaide still have not aired the last season yet.
Thanks David looking forward to both those shows!
Any idea David when channel 9 will be screening top gear?
Should be pairing with Footy Show, but it will also depend on rights.
There has been very little leaked (that I’ve seen) this time around. Again it’s on this Sunday (Feb 2nd) in the UK, shame we have to wait a week for BBC Knowledge to air it, should be on Monday nights IMO. Still it’s a lot better than the 5-6 month wait for Nine to show it.
Bring on the Stig!
