BBC Top Gear Thread 2021/2022

[L500]

I have recently noticed some TikTok clips of a Top Gear episode I’ve never seen! Turns out it was originally out in DVD in 2013 and I can see old threads on here. Does anyone know where I can watch it today? I’ve searched Prime to no avail and iPlayer. It’s the special ‘A Perfect Road Trip’ one. It totally passed me by. Thx.

Think that was one of the independent/non-BBC productions. Don't think it's ever been broadcast, DVD only .

I have them on DVD, 1 and 2. IIRC they were 50p from my local charity shop.

Ah ok. Makes sense why I can’t find them. No means to play DVDs these days but I’ll keep a look out. Thx.

They're on YouTube for 12.99 and 17.99.

Might have to, I didn't realise there was some Top Gear I hadn't seen!

That’s it. Just in 2 minute blocks sadly but thanks.

This popped up in my youtube recommendations, a clip from the very first ever Top Gear.



Egg and chips and a coffee for a pound - not exactly cheap!

Doesn't seem unreasonable.

On Dave last week they showed the season with Jason Dawe. I watched one when the Focus RS Mk1 was new.

Yes, I noticed they started repeating S1 earlier this year. For the first time, perhaps a contractual thing about Jason Dawe etc? S2 too, May looks so young and Hammond like he's a 6th former!

I downloaded both episodes of this from Apple itunes store. Brilliant they are! You can still get them in the Apple itunes store on line.

I thought most of those 'Christmas DVD' cash in specials were ste. It always seemed like they saved the good ideas for telly.

I was with a pre-CMH Top Gear presenter at his house yesterday giving him a car!

Yes I thought that, as for years S1 of NTG was nowhere to be found on you tube or anywhere. You can kinda see why they binned him off as he was unsuited to the new format and just did the used car bargain thing. Didn't he end up doing a car show with Penny Mallory? Whatever happened to her?
