8/3/14
Season-only
In the first of an all-new two-part special, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May are on a mission to build a bridge over the River Kwai in Thailand. In order to do so, they must first drive across a country that has been largely closed to Westerners for over 40 years: Burma. The trio must make this trip in three trucks that have been bought for a limited budget. What follows is an epic journey of beautiful scenery, regular adversity, ongoing malfunction, and constant bickering between the three hosts.

15/3/14
Season-only
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May continue their journey in three ancient and barely functioning trucks, heading toward their final challenge - building a bridge over River Kwai in Thailand. Having climbed mountains and endured a Burmese trucker stop, they must now venture into the Shan state, an area rife with civil war and normally closed to Western TV crews.

About this show

It began life in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine show. Relaunched in 2002 in a longer format, it pulled in an international audience of around 150 million viewers around the world. Irreverent, witty and unbiasedly honest, the Top Gear team and The Stig take cars to the limit and beyond to find out if they're any good or not. If you want to know how big the boot is, look elsewhere. Full of stunts, challenges and special features, Top Gear is self-deprecating, inclusive and passionate, giving authoritative information, entertainment and no little style.

The firts episode of the new season sucks! The kind of cheerful environment they built, the new presenter (Chris), no more Clarkson jokes, no Hammond and no Captain Slow, makes the show boring. Do you really think we were watching To Gear to find out about cars? It was an epic, funny show that you want to watch after a week of hard work. Now it sucks!

The new Top Gear only has one good thing going for it that's Matt LeBlanc BBC should have given up after letting Jeremy Clarkson go. Chris Evans was totally useless in my opinion and by the looks of it online support from fans I'm not the only one it's pretty bad when even the Brits like an American better than their own Brit. With Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond gone the show will never be ever the same. So everybody let's show BBC that they screwed up and start supporting The Grand Tour.
