This week the programme comes from the Royal Dublin Society. Twenty one finalists from Ireland paint actors Pauline McLynne and David Rawle and grime artist Lethal Bizzle.

Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May go head-to-head against their Australian Top Gear counterparts in a car-based version of The Ashes. The action includes rallying, drifting and an Aussie version of double-decker car racing, it's an all-out grudge match. Also, Jeremy is on the test track in Ferrari's new 599 GTO and a celebrity guest takes their turn in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Top Gear presents a Summer Special. James May and Richard Hammond look at the best new convertibles. Clarkson puts the Nissan 350Z through its paces, Top Gear's own James May nominates the Citroen DS as his 'Greatest Car', and supermodel Jodie Kidd is our 'Star in a Reasonably Priced Car'. Plus Top Gear finds the driving 'Master of the Universe' when a Dalek, a Klingon, a Cyberman, Ming the Merciless, Doctor Who (Colin Baker) and Darth Vader go head-to-head on the track.
