Season 1
Episodes
Italy
In this episode, Top Gear delves into why the Italians have a monopoly on Supercars. To find out, the three hosts road test a Maserati, a Ferrari, and an $11 million Pagani through the Italian countryside and around Rome and Naples.
Columbia Special
If there is one thing Aussies love more than cars, it's coffee. In this episode the Top Gear hosts head to Central Colombia to find the world's best coffee beans and bring them back to Sydney to road test an official Top Gear coffee drive thru.
Extreme Caravanning
After purchasing budget 4x4s, the three hosts head off road to go extreme caravanning. In the south of France, Beau races a BRABUS boat against Blair and Jonathan, who are driving a Lotus.
Texas
The hosts travel to Texas to test electric trucks and ask if Australia is ready for them. JLP takes a Porsche GT3 RS for a power test, and former politician Julie Bishop takes a hot lap around the Top Gear racetrack.
Best Decade
The Top Gear hosts duke it out to determine which decade was the best for cars. A series of ridiculous tests culminates in a showdown at the Melbourne Grand Prix. Meanwhile, JLP heads to L.A. to explore its amazing car culture.
The Alps to Paul Ricard
To test the latest luxury sports SUVs, the guys drive from Saint Moritz in the Swiss Alps (via the White Turf horse racing event) to the Circuit Paul Ricard in the south of France. Blair tests out the Hyundai IONIQ 5N at the Top Gear racetrack.
Farmers for a Weekend
To better understand farming machinery, the hosts become farmers for a day. JLP and the Stig test out a Ford Mustang Dark Horse, and cricket legend Mitchell Johnson goes for a fast lap in Star in a Reasonably Priced Sports Car.
Gig Economy
The hosts get a budget of $5K each to buy a vehicle that might be perfect for anything the gig economy could throw at them. Not only do they test out these urban cars, they also compete to see who can earn the most cash in a day.
Recently Updated Shows
The Twelve
Twelve citizens are called for jury duty on a high-profile murder trial as traumatizing as it is controversial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her sister's child.
As time goes by, the murder trial becomes a trial, not only for the accused, but for the jury members themselves.
Behind the façade of their anonymity, these twelve ordinary people bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma and prejudice.
Atomic
Atomic is a dynamic and entertaining action-fuelled adventure. When Max and Mohammed, two unlikely friends – and even less likely heroes – become swept up in a cartel's plot to transport uranium across North Africa, they face a monumental decision: save themselves or risk everything to prevent a nuclear bombgetting into the wrong hands.
Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
