This fast-paced and stunt-filled motor show tests whether cars, both mundane and extraordinary, live up to their manufacturers' claims; the long-running show travels to locations around the world, performing extreme stunts and challenges to see what the featured cars are capable of doing; celebrity guests appear on some episodes to help test the vehicles; things don't always go as planned, though, with broken bones and mechanical mishaps sometimes part of the experiments; Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May hosted the show for more than a decade before giving way to a new crew in 2016, including Chris Harris, Paddy McGuinness and Freddie Flintoff.

Despite the necessary concessions made to Covid-19, it still provides plenty of thrills, spills, pranks and pant-wettingly funny moments. Go to Full Review
Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 10/12/2020
The motoring show is now 18 years old, several heads taller than you, eating you out of house and home, and demanding a key to the door. It has no chance of the latter. Go to Full Review
