Top Gear - Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May present the long-running motoring series.
This is the official Top Gear episode listing for every ep that began in their new format with the Stig, Track, and studio. This is as official as press pics because i use Top Gear's BBC site for reference. This will be updated as new eps come out and will be used as a reference guide to when a certain ep aired or what was featured on each ep.
*NOTE* - By the way, in fall 2003, Top Gear aired 9 eps then "best of" repeats in Jan. The usual format is 10 eps a season. I won't list Top Gear eps that aired in Jan 2004 because those aren't best of's. They are just 30 min repeats called "Best of" by BBC of each episode from Fall 2003 and are not the Best of's like 2002 + 2003 cuz they are repeated episodes not compilations like the real best ofs they aired, "Top Gear - Best Of 2002" and "Top Gear - Best Of 2003".
**DO NOT POST HERE** This is just a list, not intended for discussion. If you have any comments about the list, post elsewhere. If you need to make a suggestion regarding the list feel free to pm me.
