- Top_Gear_(series_21) shortsummary "After reaching what they believe is the River Kwai, but which is actually the River Kok, the three presenters are challenged with building a bridge over the river, but it is longer then they had imagined. James plots a bridge meanwhile Hammond goes into town looking for supplies and Jeremy goes into town looking for food and other workers. Jeremy gets workers and brings back a large crane which eventually fails and tips over destroying a part of the bridge. In the end the bridge is completed and each of the vehicles are driven over it, completing the challenge. During the end credits, each member of the cast and crew's first name was credited as "Sir Alec", in homage to Sir Alec Guinness, who starred in the movie, The Bridge on the River Kwai.".
- Top_Gear_(series_21) shortsummary "Challenge: Jeremy and Hammond travel to the shores of Lake Como to conduct a race between the Alfa Romeo 4C and Gibbs Quadski.

- Top_Gear_(series_21) shortsummary "Challenge: The team attempt to prove that small, underpowered hatchbacks geared for fuel efficiency on thin fuel-saving tires can be fun to drive by travelling 750 miles from the Livadia Palace in the Crimean Peninsula all the way to the northern border of Ukraine with Belarus. Richard drove the Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost, Jeremy drove the Volkswagen Up!, James drove the Dacia Sandero. The segment reaches its climax with a race to see who can run out of fuel faster on the road between the city of Kiev and the radiation contaminated Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Hammond runs out of fuel just a few miles from the 30-kilometre checkpoint, leaving Clarkson and May to enter the Zone after the rest of the film crew drive back to Kiev. Clarkson runs out of fuel a short distance from the remains of Reactor Number 4, where the radiation indicator exceeded 200 counts per second. May's car running out of fuel isn't shown. Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: James Blunt talked about his role as a British Army Captain in the Pristina Airport incident during his deployment in the Kosovo War and his new album. He then drove the Astra in torrential conditions, and achieved a time of 1:49:4.".
- Top_Gear_(series_21) shortsummary "Challenge: The team attempt to prove that the hot hatchbacks of their youth were better than their modern equivalents by buying a 'classic' example of the breed each and then undertaking a series of challenges.

- Top_Gear_(series_21) shortsummary "Review: James drives the Caterham 160, and the 620R. He enjoys the 160, but loathes the 620R. The 160 post a time of 1.45.5 & 620R; 1.22.3 in wet conditions.

- Top_Gear_(series_21) shortsummary "Review: Jeremy begins his review of the Zenvo STI by reflecting on some of Denmark's contributions to the world at large. He then drives it around the Top Gear test track where he notes the difficult driving dynamics of the car as well as its questionable build quality. After several mishaps involving the rear brakes and the clutch, the car catches fire. The Stig was able to post a wet lap for the car, nevertheless – a dismal 1:29.9. News: Hammond teases his test of the new Porsche 918 which will be on a future show; Miranda Hart is to blame for flooding in Britain; the new Lamborghini Huracan is bland ; Nitrogen Dioxide pollution.".
- Top_Gear_(series_21) shortsummary "Review: Jeremy begins his review of the three German cars by dismissing the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG as far too expensive. He then drives the BMW around the Top Gear test track where he notes the major performance difference between it and the Golf GTI. He further discusses how 1-Series is the first hatchback in a long time to have rear wheel drive. This then leads to a drag race with a shocking outcome where the BMW loses control at 120 mph and spins off for a distance of a quarter mile ; the GTI then wins. At this point Jeremy switches to the VW establishing that it's cheaper to buy, cheaper to run, cheaper to insure and no where near boring. The cars are then handed to the Stig where, for the first time this series the track is dry. The VW Golf manages a time of 1.28.6 where the BMW 1 Series comes in first place at 1.25.1; however, slower than the BMW 1M in the damp, which was the full blown M division car starting at £40k RRP before options. News: Controversy behind the Mercedes 6x6 that Hammond drove in the previous episode; Jeremy and James continue to tease Hammond due to the fire issues with the new Porsche 911 GT3; comedy on Scottish independence Feature: Jeremy and James set out to create a Public Information Film to promote the safety of cyclists in London. Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Aaron Paul talked about his role as Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad and his role in the upcoming Need for Speed. He then drove the Vauxhall Astra, achieving a time of 1.44.7. His time made him the fastest star in the reasonably priced car beating Brian Johnson of AC/DC by 4-tenths of a second. Review: Richard heads to the Yas Marina Circuit to review Porsche's new hybrid supercar: the 918 Spyder. He praised it for its mind-boggling straight line performance and incredible handling capabilities as well as its low emissions and great efficiency. He concluded with the statement that the McLaren P1 had used hybrid technology to liven up the supercar for today's performance enthusiasts, but that the 918 Spyder used hybrid technology not just to liven up the supercar for today, yet to also preserve it for the future in which there will be more stringent emissions and economy regulations.".
- Top_Gear_(series_21) shortsummary "Review: Jeremy tests the new Alfa Romeo-based Touring Disco Volante.

- Top_Gear_(series_21) shortsummary "The three presenters are challenged with building a bridge over the River Kwai. The journey starts off with a drive through Burma towards Thailand, where they head off on the wrong road and end up having to go through a mountain pass. Jeremy constantly moans about his Isuzu and saying how rubbish the gear box and the comfort level is. Hammond and James also have problems with their vehicles. In a near by town Jeremy puts bricks into his truck to make it heavier thus improving the ride. James gets stuck in a creek where a local man helps him get out. Jeremy's weight addition ends up slowing his truck eventually causing it to not move at all. Jeremy then dumps all the bricks onto the road leaving May and Hammond behind. The three then make modifications to their cars; Jeremy adds blue and white Shelby paint, Mercedes AMG stickers on the side, a bed, a chair and makes it a convertible truck by removing the roof in the cab. Hammond adds a viewing platform, two tall truck exhausts, a hammock, cooking facilities and a shower. May adds a water cooling system and a tent which he hangs on his truck's crane. The three presenters have a drag race in Naypyidaw, the capital of Burma, after which they proceed into the Shan State.".
