- Top_Gear_(series_19) shortsummary "Challenge, Part 1: Jeremy and Richard attempt to design a car targeted at elderly people. Jeremy demonstrates the complexity of modern cars' dashboard. Richard brings a Fiat Multipla and they both modify it. Jeremy breaks the dashboard and replaces it, considering it to be too complicated for elders. Richard asks for the airbags saying that it is dangerous for the elderly who are as delicate as children, and that he needs it for a safety feature. Jeremy makes a speedometer which reads 20 mph at the top speed,and he also uses an old design switch for a rear fog light which does nothing. Jeremy installs a pet-cage and replaces the back seat with high seat chairs and the Fiat badge with a Rover badge. They paint it in beige after observing the shade of a hearing aid. Richard uses water-resistant fabric as seat covers, and hurts his eye while stitching it. They complete the car and end part 1 with Richard wearing heavy bandages over his left eye. News: Volkswagen will launch a GTI version of the new Golf and a GT version of Up will be launched. Kia will launch the Pro Cee'd GT. The Mini Paceman is launched, and the trio mock the front end of the car, claiming that it looks depressing and catastrophically sad. The trio agree that the British are the best drivers. Alfa-Romeo releases photographs of the Gloria, in which the trio make fun of its name. Richard had arrived late so James and Jeremy had attempted to play tennis with cars . Review: James reviews the new Range Rover in London. The new car is completely redesigned, is 400 kg lighter due to Aluminium body, has active suspension, a new gearbox,a new minimalist dashboard, and offers better comfort. James then races it against the TerraMax at Nevada Automotive Test Centre, Nevada. The race was to a hill 10 mile across, passing through rocky terrain, hillock, mud, river and sand-tracks. TerraMax was switched to drone mode during the race to deflate the tyres and take a short-cut. The Range Rover's automatic Terrain Response System is demonstrated. James takes a longer route to ascend the hill but still wins the race. At the studio, the trio consider the driverless cars to be not very practical. Star In A Reasonably Priced Car: James McAvoy drove the Kia Cee'd around the Test Track with a lap of 1:43.6 despite having less experience of driving cars. He drove over a slick grassy patch in the last corner but managed to keep the car under control. Challenge, Part 2: Jeremy and Richard road-test their car at Christchurch, Dorset. The car has large front bumpers made up of foam, large rear-view mirrors, a squeaking ball under the brake-pedal, a large magnifying-glass on the dashboard, and a satnav with only four destinatons . The car has an artificial cat on the roof which later fell out on the way to the Bingo hall. After Bingo, Richard shows his system to find the location of parked car by launching a flare and then inflating a balloon. Jeremy shows that the radio only plays the Horse of the Year Show theme on a loop, which both later find to be irresistible to clap along. The name of the car is revealed to be the James. They pick up three elderly ladies from a pensioners' home for road-testing and drive them to a bowling club where it is shown that Richard fitted the airbag at the rear for parking assist which deploys the airbag on close proximity. Jeremy and Richard buy food for picnic, choosing only British foods. They attach the shopping trolley to their built-in Tow hitch and head for a picnic. It begins to rain, and the roof of the car starts to leak. Jeremy and Richard end up choosing a picnic spot on roadside where they find the trolley to be damaged during reversing and the food to be soaked, however they ate the food which was not ruined. The next day both leave Christchurch and Jeremy shows his system to prevent the car from being driven on the wrong side of the road, the car initially sounds alarm and later the tyres, doors and body panels, explode which stops the car and renders it immobile. At the studio, James considers the heater to be complicated, the trio thank Richard Briers and announce the Africa special.".
- Top_Gear_(series_19) shortsummary "First of the two-episode Africa Special, taking place in Africa. The episode was shot in 2012. Challenge, Part 1: The trio are told to buy three used estate cars for up to £1,500 in Britain and report at a small village in rural Uganda. Jeremy arrives in a BMW 528i Touring, Richard in a Subaru Impreza WRX Estate and James in a Volvo 850R Wagon. Their challenge is revealed once they arrived: to find the true source of the river Nile. They set off, and discover that exploring isn't as difficult as first thought when they go on a nice easy drive and find Lake Victoria, of whom the Victorian Explorers thought was the source of the Nile. However, once there, they are then told that it is not the actual source of the Nile and there were two other disputed locations for it, one in Rwanda and one in Burundi. However, Jeremy Clarkson insists that both of these locations are wrong and decides they should head west towards Lake Edward to see whether there is a river that links it from Lake Kivu in Rwanda; which Jeremy believes is the source. In their journey west, they stop to visit the Entebbe Airport, scene of an important hostage rescue by Israeli Specialist, and discover that their back-up car for the trip is a Ford Scorpio Estate. They continue into Kampala, Uganda's capital city where they get held up in a traffic jam overnight, finding it to be some of the most horrendous traffic they'd ever seen; while still stuck in it in the morning the trio buy breakfast from local vendors. Once out of the jam, they continue on well-maintained highways west, finding their trip incredibly easy before reaching the town of Mbarara in the southwest of the country, via a stop in Jezza, a village in Mpigi District , after driving through tea plantations in an attempt to discover a lovely teahouse hotel, which in the mind of Richard, was bound to be found due to the tea programs he'd seen. In Mbarara they stay in a shabby, filthy hotel hotel, with Jeremy having a bed with faeces on it. Next morning, disgusted, they leave the hotel; whereupon, Richard has the idea to make their cars into 'mobile campers'. Each go out to find what they want and change their estates. James modifies his Volvo by adding a library and a workshop ; Richard adds a stove, sink, and cupboards; and Jeremy adds a coffin and a fridge mainly for beer along with attachments to the side for a portable bathroom. The coffin he uses to put his clothes in, while he would be sleeping on "Egyptian cotton and duck down." They leave for Lake Edward, camping overnight there because of its beauty before heading in search of the river heading for Lake Kivu. While James suffers problems and is left behind to sort it out, Richard and Jeremy check the rivers flowing into the lake, only to find none of the rivers connect the two lakes as they all flow in the wrong direction. This destroys Jeremy's theory, and so that night, he checks the map and devises a new one; he believes that the source of the Nile must be on the other side of Lake Victoria. His reasoning is that the Mediterranean Sea is effectively an inland sea and so Gibraltar is the true mouth of the Nile, rather than Alexandria in Egypt making him believe the source is somewhere around the east side of the lake. After discovering this, they decide that they must drive straight to the other side of Lake Victoria to get to the southeast coast in Tanzania near the Serengeti. They start this journey by heading south into the Rwenzori Mountains, finding the going hard and most of the time getting their vehicles stuck in mud; James' Volvo, which had lost its protective skid plate, is fixed by using a piece of metal from the passenger door of Jeremy's BMW, something he later discovers and accuses him of theft; in addition to this, Jeremy's estate is also struck by a falling branch, which cracks the windscreen. His car suffers worst from the mud, while Richard has it easier.".
- Top_Gear_(series_19) shortsummary "Review: Jeremy reviews the Toyota GT86 and the Subaru BRZ. Jeremy praises the car for being what he calls "an enthusiast's car". The cars are almost identical, but Jeremy chooses the Toyota GT86 via a game of "Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe. The Stig then completed a lap of the Test Track in 1:31:3. James later mentions in the "News" section that for every 10 Subaru BRZs they sell, they can sell 90 Toyota GT86s. News: They discuss the new Subaru Impreza, which is not coming to UK, and they then talk about the new Maserati Quattroporte. Challenge, Part 1: The producers have reserved a single ticket to a football match at the San Siro in Milan, Northern Italy. The trio have a race from Wembley Stadium to the San Siro. Jeremy drives the Shelby Mustang GT500 and Richard and James travel on public transport. Similar to the previous race to Monte Carlo, Richard and James are not allowed to use any cars, and Jeremy is not allowed to use any trains. According to Jeremy, since the last epic race, the trains have become faster and boats have become slower. Richard and James open up a big lead whilst travelling on the Eurostar, and arrive in Paris while Jeremy is still crossing the English Channel on a ferry. After reaching France, Jeremy discovers that the Mustang only holds 50 litres in its fuel tank. After leaving Paris, Richard and James discuss what to do upon arriving in Milan — as there are two of them but only one ticket. Hundreds of miles behind, Jeremy ends part 1 of the challenge stating out loud, "I'm gonna lose!" Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Amy Macdonald drove the Kia Cee'd around the Test Track in 1:44.4. During one of her practice runs, Amy accidentally destroyed one of the runway lights, which Jeremy gives to her after revealing the lap time. Challenge, Part 2: The high speed TGV slows down as it approaches the mountains that surround Northern Italy. Jeremy begins to catch up and nearly becomes neck and neck with the train, until road works at the Mont Blanc Tunnel slow him down. The train starts to accelerate again and reaches Northern Italy ahead of Jeremy. Richard and James use the Milan Metro to get to the streets near the finish line. James maintains his opposition to run on television and Richard runs off alone to find the finish line, which is at a bar in the IM Villa Veuve Cliequot. James then assembles a bicycle which he had hidden in one of his bags and rides to the bar, only to find that Richard is already there and has won the race and the ticket to the football match. Moments later, Jeremy arrives and accepts defeat for the first time ever in an epic race of all the series.".
- Top_Gear_(series_19) shortsummary "Review: Jeremy reviews the Vauxhall Astra VXR, Ford Focus ST and Renault Megane Renault Sport Cup. The Stig did laps of each car, the Focus being the slowest at 1:29.6, the Astra VXR at 1:28.3, and the Megane in 1:27.7. Despite this, Jeremy chose the Astra VXR as the best overall car of the three. News: They discuss the newest cars, such as the Alfa Romeo 4C, the next generation Ford Mustang would be sold in Great Britain, but the UK version would come with a 2.0 EcoBoost engine, and the importance of the handbrake turn in "male development". Review: Jeremy tests the all new Kia Cee'd, putting it through a myriad of strange road tests. Including Matt LeBlanc doing a lap with both the old and new Cee'd, Bruce Willis testing the horn of the Cee'd, Eric Clapton testing its auxiliary input jack, and Jeremy testing the Cee'd's self parallel parking feature and luggage tray. Star in a Reasonably Priced Car: Lewis Hamilton opens up about his move from McLaren to Mercedes AMG and takes the old Suzuki Liana around the Test Track, setting the fastest F1 time, a 1:42.9. Review: As punishment for losing the previous race, Richard is forced to review the Mastretta MXT in Mexico. Minding his words, he states that the MXT was an ambitious undertaking for the first-time manufacturer, but that it had its share of flaws with other cars of new makes. Challenge: Jeremy and James play car rugby using Kia Cee'ds and Kia Sportages at Twickenham Stadium and the Stig as a referee in a Vauxhall Astra Police car. Jeremy's team wins.".
- Top_Gear_(series_19) shortsummary "Review: Richard reviews the Pagani Huayra, the latest supercar from the Italian manufacturer. The car is capable of savage acceleration, with a lot of attention placed into the bodywork, interior and utilising cutting edge technology. Despite the massive twin-turbo engine and horsepower, thanks to its sophisticated aerodynamic package, the car can easily be driven hard without the risk of spinning. The Huayra also set the fastest time on the Top Gear Test Track in the hands of The Stig, 1:13.8, beating the previous record, set by the Ariel Atom V8. News: The Dacia Sandero is now on sale in the UK. The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black has been updated to produce extra horsepower, but the handling is still challenging. Jeremy claims that he has found a male equivalent version of Fifty Shades of Grey, presenting a kid's book about tractors. The new Chevrolet Corvette (C7){{!}}Corvette Stingray is announced. James May turned fifty the previous week. Also, the rally team composed of war amputees finally completed their challenge of finishing the 2013 Dakar Rally. Review: James reviews the new Bentley Continental GT, and notes the new engine and subtle ride characteristics. Believing that the Bentley, with a four wheel drive system and a big, powerful engine, can handle things worse than a Welsh countryside road, James takes the car onto a Welsh stage of the World Rally Championship, with Kris Meeke behind the wheel, and James being the co-driver. Despite the car having less grip, more weight, an electronic handbrake and James not being proficient at giving pace notes, the Bentley was actually faster than one of the full WRC cars. Star In A Reasonably Priced Car: Damian Lewis takes his turn in the car, and drifts the Kia Cee'd around the snow-coated test track and crosses the finish line sideways, setting the slowest ever time of 2:09.1. Jeremy cheers Damian up by making a separate board for snow and says that he is the fastest driver ever on their "snow board". Challenge: Jeremy attempts to build a car smaller than the Peel P50, naming his creation the P45. It was based on a quad bike, with aluminium bodywork fitted, designed to wrap around the driver. He then took it on an excessive road test, featuring a "terrifying" dual carriageway test on the A3, a demonstration of using it on the coach, using it in a shopping centre, the British Library, in a theatre , in a car wash, and when at the end he presented his idea to the 'Dragons' in a Dragons' Den style format . All of the dragons declare themselves "out" and back in the studio, Richard and Jeremy concluded that for the P45 to be put in production and succeed, Jeremy would have to be dead.".
- Top_Gear_(series_19) shortsummary "Second of the two-episode Africa Special, taking place in Africa. The episode was shot in 2012. Challenge, Part 1 : After spending the night in the countryside, James wakes up to find out that Jeremy has taken a piece of metal from the bonnet of the Volvo to fix what James had done to his BMW, which leaves him in a bad mood; not because he took it but because he did a shoddy job of it. As well as "fixing" his car, Jeremy attaches a log to the back of his BMW to make braking and hill starts better. However, although it works, this backfires when the log, which is left loose, bounces up and shatters his rear window. After driving across Rwanda and crossing into Tanzania, both James and Jeremy find replacements for what they lost from their cars off Richard's bonnet and rear window. Richard replaces those missing bits by stealing Jeremy's toilet and placing it on the bonnet and a piece of cardboard for the rear window. As they travel eastwards, the trio are stopped by a river and realise it is too deep to wade through with their cars, especially since there are crocodiles lurking within it. Using a flying machine with a camera Jeremy invented for the trip, they learn there is no bridge or crossing point both up-river and down-river; Jeremy therefore comes up with the idea of making their own car-ferry, designed specifically to take their cars across the river, using wood and rope to fashion it. Even though both Jeremy and Richard manage to get across with it but nearly get stuck at the other end, and James almost sinks the ferry with his car since the weight of it isn't evenly distributed , the trio manage to get across safely. However, when the producers tried to get the Ford Scorpio back-up car onto the ferry, the ferry wasn't secured, so the car missed it and went straight into the river, much to the three's amusement, so the trio left the producers to clean up their mess. Upon reaching Lake Victoria, the three decide to use a proper ferry to get across it to Tanzania. When they reach the other side the next day, Richard decides to disembark at a beach and show off his 4X4 Subaru, but gets it stuck in the sand, and when trying to repay the 40 locals that helped him to get it out, he ended up losing his lunch to them. The others disembark at a proper jetty and later reunite to find the river they believe leads to the source. While stopping for a moment, all three decide that the cars are all great, but when separate from the others, they each claim that their car is the best. Eventually, they finally find the river they were looking for and begin to follow it to the predicted source of the Nile. However, they come across a rough road they have to travel on, which Jeremy describes as a true "Car-Killer", and soon it starts to take its toll on the cars as they try to make their next camp. Jeremy's airbags has been deployed, James had several punctures and one of alloys was damaged and replaced, but Richard's car suffers the worst damage when the left wheel's rod steering, which was rusted to begin with, finally snaps apart, leaving him to try to fix it, with the back-up car no longer available. Despite usual Top Gear behaviour in such a situation, the other two, who made camp, decide to wait for Richard for a while longer the next morning before setting off. Just as that deadline is nearly reached, James and Jeremy spot their third arriving, Richard having fixed his car enough to survive the last leg. Challenge, Part 2: James and Jeremy decide once Richard is back, that since only one person can be remembered for finding the source, and the other two will be forgotten, that they should have a race to find the source. At first, Jeremy decides to go slow to avoid more incidents, but soon speeds up when he realised he was getting nowhere. After many blind decisions had been made, and many wrong turns, they soon find they have to leave their cars and find the source on foot, James having to since his rear suspension had just collapsed. Soon, in the end, James finds it first, which turns out to be merely a very small pond being fed from somewhere beneath large rocks, just seconds before Jeremy does, with Richard arriving a little later. The pair congratulate James, and two flags, the Top Gear one and the British Flag, are planted at the spot, with the three posing for a photo like the Victorian explorers. A caption over the photo, says "James May, Discoverer of the True Source of the Nile, and Two Other Blokes." As the credits roll, each member of the crew, like in previous specials and such, has their name altered with each displaying their surname with "Dr." before and ", I Presume?" afterwards .".
