Steven Knight hopes that the hosts of Top Gear will see Locke. After all, it makes sense that Top Gear would be interested in a movie that takes place entirely in a car, with just a single on-screen character, played by Tom Hardy, who drives from Birmingham to London during a night of extreme crisis […]
Speaking to the BBC, Top Gear’s Richard Hammond says even the hosts are amazed about what they discover as they make the show. “Top Gear‘s got bigger and bigger over the years, and it continually surprises us,” Hammond said. “We set out to make the best and most entertaining car journey that we could. That’s […]
Richard Hammond isn’t a scientist but he sometimes plays one on TV. He’s currently the host for a National Geographic show, airing in the U.K., called Science of Stupid, which explains the real science behind zany YouTube clips. Hammond told the Birmingham Mail that he would have liked to have been a real scientist but […]
It’s official. Top Gear magazine and Honda, working in tandem, have broken the world speed record for a lawn mower. And yes, Top Gear wasn’t quite sure about the pressing need for a lawn mower that goes 116.575 miles per hour, but they knew about the pressing need to get the Guinness Book of World […]
Top Gear travels all over the planet, finding inspiration for its epic challenges in real world places from Burma to the Arctic.

It’s all over but the clowning.

If you’re at all familiar with the travel antics of Top Gear, you probably know that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May aren’t exactly David Lean-style heroes. (Clarkson of Arabia?) But that isn’t stopping the three plucky hosts from trying to emulate the characters in Lean’s World War II epic The Bridge on the […]
Like in the 1945 Errol Flynn movie, Top Gear’s objective next week is Burma. In fact, the challenge is to recreate a scene from another World War II movie, The Bridge on the River Kwai. The show’s trio are tasked with driving three trucks across Burma, a.k.a. Myanmar, to get to Thailand for the recreation […]
Some say he won’t stop until he’s achieved world domination… all we know is, he’s called The Stig—and starting today, he’ll be on your smartphone, where you can race him in a new free game. Released by BBC Worldwide, Top Gear: Race the Stig will allow you to challenge the iconic and mysterious white-helmeted driver […]
“I’m not going to pretend that this is anything but a preposterous machine,” said Richard Hammond of his extended test drive of the brand new Mercedes-Benz G63 6×6 on this week’s show.
