oh and spoiler for episode 1 below


















Top Gear Sunday 22 June
8:00pm - 9:00pm
BBC2
The very latest Top Gear news and views from the usual team. Jeremy, Richard and James apply their minds to the question of what the British police should drive. At the moment Bobbies are forced to drive around in diesel hatchbacks, gingerly shuffling the steering wheel and letting criminals get away rather than risk scuffing their wheel trims. So, armed with no more than 1000 pounds each, the Top Gear boys set out to buy a bargain priced police cruiser that can take part in a dramatic chase without fear of costing the tax payer a packet if it gets broken. Meanwhile, James introduces a new member of the Top Gear team and steps aside so they can immediately make their mark on the show with a remarkable feat of daring. And as if that wasn't enough, Jeremy tears up the Top Gear track in the new Ferrari 430 Scuderia, the car that aims to put some passion back into the Italian supercar maker's increasingly nerdy and computerised stable. Plus, there's a break from the norm as the Reasonably Priced Car welcomes a pair of stars in the contrasting shapes of the Friday Night Project's Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins. All this, and some sound advice about how to deal with rising petrol prices. Top Gear is longer, stronger, faster, better and probably a bit more on fire than ever before.

No, James May is not leaving the show and no the new member is not a host. It's a stunt Stig or something like that (minor character).

Just incase you can't wait here's a 1993 episode of Top Gear with our curly permed hero test driving a Ford Escort Cosworth against a Toyota Celica.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQj21...eature=related

The Escort Cosworth was my favourite car of the 90's - the only trouble was they were stolen regularly, generally before the first dealership supplied tank of petrol ran out.

Because they're encouraging us to download torrents of the episodes

it has to do with the music or something, the BBC is basically allowed to use whatever music it wants without paying royalty provided they dont show them outside the UK or something along those lines.

That was fun to watch, thanks for the link. Clarkson certainly wasn't as flamboyant back then.
