News New Top Gear is trying too hard to be like old Top Gear

Never has the relaunch of a TV show been met with such anticipation and animosity. But Top Gear isn’t an ordinary TV show; it’s a worldwide phenomenon with a global audience of 350 million. And last night gave us our first look at Top Gear AC (after Clarkson) fronted by new hosts Chris Evans and […]

News Top Gear returns on May 29th

Right on cue after the long-awaited Clarkson, Hammond and May's Amazon Prime show name reveal, the BBC have confirmed the start date for this year's Top Gear reboot: set your calendars for Sunday May 29th. That's just under three weeks away, so not too long to wait. It was originally meant to air at the […]

News New Top Gear trailer features the Ferrari 250GT TdF and Aston Martin Vulcan

The new series of Top Gear AC (that's Top Gear After Clarkson) is nearly upon us, so expect to see plenty of promotional footage in the run-up to the first episode's yet-to-be-announced air date. Following the first trailer released last month, another trailer has been released that's equally short but sweet. Our latest look […]

News Clarkson, Hammond and May still can’t decide what to call their new car show

Last year came the bombshell that Clarkson, Hammond and May would be fronting a new show exclusively on Amazon Prime with a reported £160 million budget following their departure from the BBC. Meanwhile, Top Gear will live on in the hands of Chris Evans, Matt LeBlanc and an ensemble cast including Sabine Schmitz, Chris Harris […]

News Top Gear series 20 preview

Summer is officially here, but if you're British you wouldn't know it. Looking out the window right now reveals dull overcast skies that make venturing outside not particularly desirable. Thank goodness, then, that the Top Gear summer series is just around the corner. The boys will be back on telly Sunday June 30th in […]

News Top Gear Series 19 Episode 4 Review

Shock horror: episode four of Top Gear’s nineteenth series was an episode predominately about cars! Well, almost. Case in point: episode four kicked off with a thorough three-car comparison test, the likes of which we haven’t seen in recent series, between three hot hatches: the new Vauxhall VXR, Ford Focus ST and Renault Megane 265. […]

News Top Gear Series 19 Episode 3 Review

After two entertaining, but somewhat unremarkable episodes, we arrive at episode three of Top Gear’s nineteenth series. Thankfully, while it’s still evident that the show has passed its peak and run out of ideas, this was an improvement over the past two episodes that, at times, rekindled the old series’ spirit. Clarkson resumed his role […]

News Top Gear Series 19 Episode 2 Review

After Top Gear’s triumphant return commenced with a strong start to the series, it was time to settle down to episode 2 where the boys embarked on another of their three car road trips across the US. As they pulled up at Nevada, the obligatory bickering between each presenter making a case for their car […]

News Top Gear Series 19 Episode 1 Review

There are two distinct audiences in the Top Gear camp. In one, you have the passionate petrolheads who revel in watching power tests of obscene cars you're never likely to afford performing endless powerslides on a disused airfield. Then there's those who digest it as enchanting entertainment on a Sunday night, tuning in to witness […]

News Top Gear returns January 27th

It's been an absolute age since Top Ger last graced our screens (the last series ended in March 2012 if you don't count the Bond special). But now we finally have confirmation of when we'll next be able to get our fix: mark your calendars for Sunday January 27th everyone, as Top Gear returns for […]

News 50 years of Bond Cars: a Top Gear special airing October 29th

You may not realise it, but today is a special day for Top Gear. Because, believe it or not, it was in fact ten years ago today that Top Gear returned to the telly after being axed by the BBC following falling ratings. Little did they know back then that it would become a global […]

News Top Gear 2012 Christmas special airing in February

Oh dear. A while back we reported on the disappointing news that Top Gear fans will be deprived of their dosage of Clarkson, Hammond and May's motoring shenanigans for a rather long while thanks to a certain ratings-hogging talent show that's woefully devoid of such 'talent'. We therefore took solace in the fact that a Christmas […]

News Microsoft host Top Gear-style road race for Forza Horizon

October 26th. A date that will resonate among Forza fans, as this marks the launch of Playground Games' eagerly awaited Forza Horizon. It's the same for Top Gear fans, too, however, as the boys' long-running Top Gear Live tour will be in full swing at the Birmingham NEC during this time. Coincidence? Apparnetly not. […]

Brace yourself Top Gear fans. We know you're eagerly awaiting the new series this summer, but it seems as if the wait will be slightly longer. How long, you ask? Well, um…until 2013. Ouch. I know, I know, such a devestating blow will take a while to sink in. As a self-confessed Top Gear fanatic […]
