Season 21
TV Show · Reality

In the all-new 21st series of the world's favourite car show, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May embark on a huge and potentially glowing road trip across Ukraine in three small cars with even smaller engines, 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 an epic 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.
