Top Gear, Series 12

Hinweis: Sie sehen die englischsprachige Originalversion dieser TV-Sendung. Die deutsche Fassung finden Sie unter „Zugehörig“. Top Gear’s unique approach to motoring entertainment has already seen the popular BBC programme tackle burning issues such as ‘Can you build your own amphibious car?’, ‘Can you buy an old supercar for less than the price of a small hatchback?’, or ‘Can a stretched limousine jump over a wedding?’ The answers, as it turns out, are ‘only if you want to get wet’, ‘only if you want to break down then crash’, and ‘sort of, but don’t park any caravans behind the reception tent’. Top Gear found this out so you didn’t have to. Silly and opinionated, Top Gear is full of big ideas that never quite work properly or, at the very least, catch fire a bit before they do. Now Jeremy Clarkson, James May, Richard Hammond and barely-tame racing driver The Stig return with another batch of tyre-smoking, lap-record-breaking, ambitious-but-rubbish car stuff. Series 12 sees Jeremy, James and Richard set out to discover how hard it is to be a lorry driver, become the unwilling participants in an economy run to turn on the Blackpool illuminations, and attempt to make a very unsporty Renault Avantime lap their track as fast as a rally-tuned Mitsubishi Evo. Plus, Richard invents the sport of bus racing, James tries to find out why the Finns are so good at driving and Jeremy drives a Ford Fiesta 'round the shops.
