In the next episode, Top Gear leaves the confines of its draughty hangar in rural Surrey and heads on safari in Africa.

In their most gruelling challenge to date, our three intrepid presenters each have to buy a second-hand car costing no more than £1,500. Crucially, they aren't allowed 4x4s. This is probably a bit cruel on our part, because they then have to negotiate some of the most inhospitable terrain Botswana has to offer.

Their route takes them across the vast Makgadikgadi salt pans, treacherous rivers and game reserves filled with animals, many of whom want to eat them. Along the way, they encounter blistering heat, choking dust and the Stig's African cousin.

Sunday 4 November, 8pm BBC Two

Repeated Wednesday 7 November, 7pm on BBC Two

What kind of 2wd cars are they going to be able to get in Africa? Or are they going to bring them along from England?

funny if they all got some sort of ex-warlord S-Class

How are they gonna introduce him?

Some say that 1500 years ago, he was he king of the zulu tribe?

I can't imagine what else they would say

this episode is gonna be epic, adding to a more already awesome show. May will buy a crappy POS, but it might be sensible, while Hammod will buy something, that will just break-down.

Jeremy will have POWER! and his cars are usually the coolest out of the bunch.
