Top Gear - Season 8

Jeremy Clarkson revs up this series with a spin in an insanely powerful Swedish supercar, Richard Hammond races a jet-powered canoe, and the boys create the world's first convertible people carrier by sawing the top off a Renault Espace. Plus there's a celebrity tea party for the new Reasonably Priced Car.

The Yorkshire Dales provide the backdrop for an epic contest between three exquisite cars, the Jaguar XK, the BMW650i and the Mercedes SL350, and a frozen lake in Iceland is the setting for a race between a powerful rally car and a jet powered kayak. Chef Gordon Ramsay is the star in the reasonably priced car.

The lads attempt to answer one of the world's great unanswered questions - is it possible to build a truly amphibious car that works as well on water as it is does on land? Also, actor Philip Glenister is the Star in the Reasonably Priced Car and the Lotus Exige S is power-tested by on the track by Jeremy and the Stig.

Richard Hammond travels to Cyprus to pit the Porshe Cayenne Turbo S against the RAF's freefall parachute display team, the Red Devils. Jeremy employs a top interior designer to convert a Mercedes S Class into the ultimate luxury car and actor Ewan McGregor buckles up as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

With the World Cup fever reaching boiling point the Top Gear team bring us an epic car football contest with Toyota Aygos pitted against the VW Foxes...from Brazil! James May (aka Captain Slow) receives a crash course in how to drive fast from Formula One legend Sir Jackie Stewart and the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car is actor Sir Michael Gambon.

Jeremy, Richard and James have all poured scorn on caravans and those who choose to spend their weekends in them. Now the team have to swallow their pride as they embark on a caravan holiday in Dorset. Three hot saloons burn rubber on the test track, and the Stig attempts to find out how fast you can drive a car indoors! Plus actor Brian Cox is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy and the Stig race two Caterham 7s around a circuit in Scotland, but Jeremy needs to build his own car from scratch first. Richard and James road-test the Ford S-max, the Mercedes B200 turbo and the Vauxhall Zafira VXR - three family cars that promise a bit of excitement. Plus comedian Steve Coogan is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Jeremy, James and Richard are going out in style, behind the wheels of their very own white vans. They take on the ultimate challenge for any white van driver - working as a real life roadie for The Who. Ray Winstone is the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car and Jenson Button tackles the Liana in the F1 Driver Challenge.
