Series 18 Loading… Episode 0 Episode Description A special Top Gear episode presented by Richard Hammond to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film franchise and the release of Skyfall. In this feature-length retrospective, Hammond examines the most iconic cars from half a century of 007 movies, including legendary vehicles such as the Aston Martin DB5 and the Lotus Esprit, exploring their creation, gadgets, and cinematic impact. The episode includes behind-the-scenes interviews with Bond actors and film makers like Daniel Craig and Sir Roger Moore, stunt coordinators, engineers, and producers who share insights into how these cars were chosen, modified, and filmed for memorable chase sequences. In classic Top Gear fashion, Hammond attempts his own Bond-style projects, from a ‘Bond car on a budget’ to recreating functional movie gadgetry, while reflecting on how James Bond’s cars have influenced both popular culture and automotive history.

This time, the car faces serious competition, as high-speed European rail travel has improved dramatically over the past decade, while Channel crossings have become slower. Hammond and May choose to cooperate by travelling together by train to Milan before competing against each other for the final sprint to the stadium. Clarkson, meanwhile, is forbidden from choosing an expensive or exotic supercar and instead attempts to beat them by driving a Shelby Mustang GT500, named after Carroll Shelby, who was able to see the latest Mustang before his death. Elsewhere in the episode, Clarkson tests the Toyota GT86 at the Top Gear Test Track to see whether it lives up to its reputation as a modern driver’s car, and singer Amy Macdonald is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, completing a lap in the Kia Cee’d.

Meanwhile, Hammond travels to Mexico to review the country’s first domestically produced sports car, the Mastretta MXT, following his loss in the previous episode’s race. Back in the UK, Clarkson subjects the new Kia Cee’d to a series of challenges before taking on May in a game of “Car Rugby” at Twickenham Stadium.

Using a Fiat Multipla as a starting point, the pair modify it with a range of features aimed at older motorists, before putting their creation to the test in Christchurch, Dorset, where they enlist the help of several elderly drivers to give their verdict. Meanwhile, May tests the new Range Rover on the streets of London before travelling to the Nevada Automotive Test Center in the United States to see how capable it really is off-road, taking part in a ten-mile race against an autonomous military vehicle known as Terra Max. Back at the Top Gear Test Track, actor James McAvoy is the latest guest to lap the circuit in the Kia Cee’d. Episode Introduction "Tonight, I hold up a jar. James points at a hill.

Armed with second-hand estate cars bought on a £1,500 budget, Clarkson chooses a BMW 528i Touring, Hammond opts for a Subaru Impreza WRX Estate, and May selects a Volvo 850R Estate. Beginning their journey at Lake Victoria, long believed by Victorian explorers to be the Nile’s source, the trio travel through Uganda towards Lake Edward, which they believe may hold the real answer. Along the way they pass through Entebbe Airport, battle heavy traffic in Kampala, and contend with harsh road conditions before converting their cars into makeshift mobile homes for the remainder of the expedition. When their initial theory proves incorrect, the journey takes a dramatic turn as they head south into Tanzania and the Serengeti, pursuing a new theory that the source of the Nile lies there instead.

Facing increasingly hostile conditions, the presenters battle muddy tracks, punishing dirt roads, and some of the most challenging terrain ever attempted on Top Gear, all while taking in the dramatic landscapes of East Africa. Along the way, they resort to salvaging parts from each other’s cars to stay mobile, attempt to cross a river using a home-made ferry, and tackle a notoriously car-destroying road across the Serengeti. As the journey nears its end and the trio break camp for the final time, cooperation gives way to competition, with the expedition turning into a race to see which presenter can be the first to locate and reach the source of the Nile.

The presenters disagree completely and head to France in three cheap RWD cars they purchased second hand and partake in a series of challenges to prove that RWD is best and FWD is useless. Episode Introduction "Tonight, we save the entire world. We test a fat spaniel from Jaguar. And we annoy France's second-best racing driver." Stig Introduction "Some say he has 12 GCSEs, all in domestic science. And that he's been producing artificial sperm for years. Even though we have repeatedly asked him not to. All we know is he's called the Stig."

Episode Introduction "Tonight, I wear some goggles, Richard falls down a small slope, and James says hello to a man."

Then Jeremy closes the series with a tribute to big engines in an Aston Martin V12 Vantage with the very strong gut feeling that cars with these engines soon will no longer exist and the era is sadly coming to an end. Episode Introduction "Tonight, Richard has a crisis. Some sheep on our track, and James and I go to the lavatory." Stig Introduction "Some say that he cut that man's hair. And that if HE compensated a soldier for getting wounded, he wouldn't try to take it all back again. All we know is, he's called the Stig!"
