Top Gear S21E01

Top Gear S21E01

BBC Top Gear returns for the 21st Series and for the first episode of the new series, 1980's hot hatches were the opening salvo as the boys bought 80's used hot hatches for series of challenges. Jeremy Clarkson opts for the Mk2 VW Golf, while James May goes for the Ford Fiesta XR2i and Richard Hammond opts in for the Vauxhall Nova SRi. The Stig's teenage cousin was introduced in the later parts of the challenge.

Madness ensues in every parts of challenge and nothing's more demented as the police part of the challenge. The one where hot hatches take on Top Gear's long arm of the law in the form of industrial machinery, remote bombs, drones, and military vehicles!

In the end, despite mishaps, the Fiesta won the supermarket challenge while the Golf won the police chase and the Nova won the hill climb. Everybody's the winners...sort of.

Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville is the STAR IN A REASONABLY PRICED CAR and he posted a lap time of 1:50.1 in wet conditions.
