- Top_Gear_(series_15) abstract "The fifteenth series of Top Gear started airing on BBC Two and BBC HD on 27 June 2010, and concluded on 1 August 2010, with the usual presenting team of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig. Prior to the series, the channel advertised the show's return by featuring a home video originally published to YouTube. In the clip, the parents of a young boy see the Top Gear crew filming the motorhome challenge. The over-excited responses of the parents were adapted to produce the trailer. Several segments which were recorded for the series were missed out, including Jeremy travelling from the most westerly point at sunset to the most easterly point at sunrise in the new Jaguar XJ, and the return of Jonathan Ross to the reasonably priced car. The series was followed by two "Best Of Top Gear" specials, charting the best moments from the series.".

- Top_Gear_(series_15) shortsummary "Challenge: Clarkson, Hammond and May are tasked with working out which four-door saloon car is the best for businessmen who like driving. Their choices are the Porsche Panamera Turbo, which is too ugly; the Aston Martin Rapide, which is too expensive; and the Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S, which is too fiddly. After meeting in London, they drive to a business park outside the city where they hand the cars over to The Stig for a lap of the park. They are then tasked with chauffeuring guests for a wedding and reception. Jeremy forgets his suit trousers and is forced to improvise by wrapping his jeans up with gaffa tape before escorting the mother of the bride and the bridesmaid - who he nicknames "Jenson" and "Lewis" - to the wedding at high speed. James collects the bride and her father in the Maserati and despite initially planning to take his time so as to arrive fashionably late, he ends up hopelessly lost and is over half an hour late. As for Hammond, he collects the groom and best man in the Aston Martin, but his bleak mood and inappropriate choice of music make the groom nervous and very nearly talks him out of getting married altogether. Rather than stand around waiting for the ceremony to end, the presenters leave the church and, acting on a tip from the mother of the bride, head to a nearby airfield for a drag race and spend the rest of the afternoon power sliding and forget to return to the church. When asked to decide on the best car, Clarkson, Hammond and May all agree that the Maserati is the best choice while apologising to the couple by giving a gift of a custom toilet seat. News: The trio proclaim that because the episode would be broadcast on the same evening as the 2010 British Grand Prix and the final of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, nobody is watching, so they decide to put in considerably less effort. American rally driver Ken Block protests against Jeremy's rollover in the Reliant Robin in the first episode, claiming Clarkson is a "pussy" for rolling it over. Block takes the Robin out for a power lap, but he barely makes it through the first corner before his lap ends the same way as Clarkson and the Stig before him - upside down. F1 Driver in a Reasonably Priced Car: Rubens Barrichello does a power lap in the old Suzuki Liana. He sets a lap time of 1:44.3, quicker than any other driver on the board, including the Stig, who develops a strong hatred towards Rubens for beating his time. Review: Hammond reviews the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, describing both as muscle cars. The Mercedes sets a respectable power lap time of 1.24.9, but the Camaro is slower than the Holden Maloo, a ute version sharing its chassis with a time of 1.27.9. Nevertheless, Hammond claims he would settle on the Camaro if he had to buy one. Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: For the second time in the episode, the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car tops the power lap board, with actor Rupert Grint breaking Peter Jones' record in the Kia Cee'd, with a time of 1:45.5.".

- Top_Gear_(series_15) shortsummary "Challenge: Hammond races a customised Volkswagen Touareg against snowmobile racers Dan Lang and Daniel Bodin in Riksgränsen. The race goes down a ski slope, along a forest trail and across a frozen lake. Unusually for such races on Top Gear, Hammond wins. News: The trio state that it is more difficult to drive in the Summer, rather than Winter, because of distraction by women in short skirts. James suggested that women should wear Burqas to negate the situation. However Jeremy gives an account of a woman in a Burqa who tripped in front of the taxi he was riding in, showing she was wearing red panties and suspenders. Citroën name their new sales director, ironically called Charles Peugeot. The trio make jokes about his name being shared by the rival car company . Review: James drives an updated version of the Bugatti Veyron called the SuperSport. James breaks the suggested top speed of the car passing . However Bugatti's main test driver, Pierre Henri Raphanel, broke that record shortly afterwards, taking the car up to an official record of . The Veyron also broke another record, lapping the Top Gear Test Track in 1:16.8. Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise guest, promoting their new movie Knight and Day. Cameron initially beats Rupert Grint's time with 1:45.2. However Tom Cruise claims the record with 1:44.2, which also sees him set the record as the fastest celebrity in any car for the show. Cruise puts the car on two wheels in a turn. Feature: James notes that if he hadn't had died, Ayrton Senna would have celebrated his 50th birthday. A small documentary-like film shows detailing his racing style and life including some appearances by Mika Häkkinen, Lewis Hamilton, Jarno Trulli, Martin Brundle, Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa, Rubens Barrichello, David Coulthard, Mark Webber, Nigel Mansell, and Michael Schumacher. The Ayrton Senna tribute has not been shown since it was first aired; all repeats skip this and go straight to credits.".
- Top_Gear_(series_15) shortsummary "Challenge: The presenters are each given £5000 with which to purchase the ultimate track day car - a four-door saloon that would be as suitable for a family as it is quick around a racing circuit. James purchases a Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3-16 Cosworth, Hammond buys a BMW E36 M3 and Jeremy settles on a Ford Sierra Sapphire RS Cosworth. Challenge 1: After meeting up in Berlin, they are first tasked with driving as quickly as possible down the Autobahn to test top speed. Despite being stymied by traffic, Jeremy manages in the Sierra Cosworth, James manages in the 190E Cosworth, and Richard manages in the M3. They then pull over to test passenger space by escorting a brass band - complete with trombone and tuba - around a town. James returns late due to an overheated engine. The band chooses Richards' M3 as the roomiest despite the protestations of Jeremy, because "it was Bavarian like them". Challenge 2: The cars are then subject to a comprehensive road-worthiness test by the ADAC. Hammond, who at this point had won every challenge and was openly confident of his M3's ability to win the challenge, discovers that the car had been involved in an accident and had been poorly rebuilt, scoring just six points out of a maximum one hundred and fifty in the ADAC tests and his car was given the nickname 'The Death Trap' while James tries to defend his car's worthiness by calling former Formula One driver Martin Brundle for his opinion on the car. While James' car was being tested, his engine overheated again, resulting in a loss of points. Jeremy's Sierra scores the highest in the test by a significant margin, and is the only car out of the three deemed roadworthy by the ADAC. Challenge 3: The presenters then head to EuroSpeedway Lausitz where their cars are driven around the circuit by the Stig's German cousin. The presenters then must upload a video of themselves doing a lap of the circuit to YouTube, with points being awarded for the number of views. James gets lost, Jeremy cheats by speeding the video up, and Richard - too afraid of his car to make a video - simply uploads a blank video of himself making car noises. Jeremy won this part of the challenge as his video has more views of the three. Challenge 4: After that, the three cars were filled with exactly of fuel and are told they must drive out of Germany with that amount and nothing else, and whoever runs out of fuel along the way will be shot. Due to time constraints, the results are not shown in the actual program, but James runs out of fuel before leaving Germany after driving as fast as possible due to overestimating the mpg of his car, while Jeremy just manages to beat Hammond into Poland. James is declared the winner because his car was the cheapest of the three, despite having lost all of his points for running out of fuel in the economy test, much to Jeremy and Richard's dismay and shock. News: Jeremy addresses criticism of his Reliant Robin review in the previous episode, with disgruntled viewers claiming that a "real" driver would not have experienced the same roll-over related problems as he did. Clarkson takes this as a challenge, and cuts to The Stig starting a power lap in the Reliant. He barely makes it into the first turn before his lap ends the same way as Clarkson's review - upside down. The trio say that the Citroën DS3 is the best small car on sale and talk about the Racing version. Review: James tests the Porsche 911 Sport Classic, which he describes as a "Greatest Hits version" of all the previous 911s. Although he likes the car, the incredible price turns him off it, and he instead moves on to reviewing the Porsche Boxster Spyder. He also likes the car despite Porsche's ability to remove features that come standard - like door handles - in their other cars and then charge the customer more for it, and gets quite wet when attempting to erect the Spyder's elaborate cloth top to protect against rain. Ultimately, he enjoys driving the car, saying that as an owner of a Boxster for four years, the Boxster Spyder is better. Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Clarkson interviews Alastair Campbell, Director of Communications under Tony Blair and the candidate for the same position for Gordon Brown. Despite being Clarkson's polar opposite politically, the two are able to get along, with Clarkson asking questions carefully constructed to be as controversy-free as possible, such as "What is your favourite colour?" before prompting a discussion about the M4 bus lane. Campbell goes on to set a respectable time in the Kia Cee'd, finishing ahead of political commentator Nick Robinson, with a time of 1:47.0.".
