Top Gear — Series 13
Back on BBC Two from June 2009, *Top Gear’s* thirteenth series delivered more of the chaotic car adventures viewers had come to expect, with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May, and The Stig at the helm. Across seven episodes, the team tackled fresh challenges – even with a tighter budget than usual – pushing power limits, exploring new corners of the globe, and engaging in their signature outlandish races. Highlights included “The Race to the North,” a wonderfully eccentric contest pitting Jeremy aboard a steam train, James in a classic Jaguar, and Richard on a vintage motorcycle against one another. Elsewhere, Richard and James found themselves locked in an unusual competition: racing a Royal Mail letter delivered by Porsche Panamera. The series also featured their trademark car reviews, this time focusing on the best options for young drivers. And adding a touch of unexpected flair, glamour model Madison Welch popped up in episode six.
