- TriviaThroughout series 22 symbols of Chile appear in the show for example on one episode a picture of Alexis Sanchez (Chilean footballer) is visible on a table. On another the Stig is on a Chilean flag. This is because it was Chilean people who helped them escape Argentina in the controversial 'Patagonia special'.
- Quotes
Richard Hammond: [Talking about the Ford GT's poor fuel economy and the fact that Jeremy is getting one] And actually, 17 and a half gallon tank. 4... 4 miles to the gallon, how far does that mean you will be able to go in your car before you ran out of petrol?
Jeremy Clarkson: 75 miles.
Richard Hammond: 75 miles?
Jeremy Clarkson: Yeah.
Richard Hammond: Well, how far then do you live, for instance, from the Top Gear office?
Jeremy Clarkson: 76 miles.
- Alternate versionsTop Gear reruns on the UKTV Network (including the Dave channel) have approximately one quarter of the episodes cut out to make room for adverts. They also cut out most un-PC jokes and BBC references.

The living legend that is Jeremy Clarkson remains one of the funniest men on television and it will be a truly sad day when he decides to move on from motoring journalism. However, his fellow presenters, Richmond Hammond and James May are just as enjoyable to watch. I've been a fan of the diminutive and enthusiastic Hamster since the early days of "Granada Men and Motors" and it was a dream come true to see him land a presenting role on the restyled "Top Gear". Floppy-haired James May is one of television's true English gentlemen - well spoken, witty and just a touch eccentric. The chemistry between these three men is comedy gold and I often watch with my jaw dropped in disbelief at just how good this show is.
The famous races, where each presenter has to reach a certain far-off place using a variety of means, are truly gripping films for the series and raise the bar on what we now expect from a motoring television show. The recent "Polar Special" was an example of the imagination and budget that makes "Top Gear" such an original and watchable programme.
Simply brilliant - 10 out of 10.
