(UPDATE: if the service is available in your area, you can watch Sunday’s new Top Gear on the BBC iPlayer here)
Well, there you have it: we’re back with a flying Bentley, a hypercar with innocence, the slowest celebrity lap ever (sorry, Damian), some tremendous tractors, and Jeremy’s P45…
Hope you all enjoyed the first show of the new series – there’s plenty more to come (as you can see here). Let us know your thoughts as usual in the handy space below, and we’ll be back next week with the usual out-takes and extras.
(And if you missed it earlier, head this way to see an exclusive video as the presenters discuss the upcoming shows. And their lunch).

Outstandingly tremendous episode. Not one fault was viewed. Consequently, I’m very much looking forward – as ever – to the upcoming episodes of series 19. Well done, Top Gear!

Poor start, stale format, Jeremy’s humour is called ‘solo’ thus called cos the humour is funny to 1 person…. Himself

Well, little underwhelmed there… Lets hope next weeks is back on par, the Bentley but was good but the rest was a bit lethargic.

The Rally Bentley for me was the best bit.

What on earth happened to Top Gear! I mean i wasn’t exactly a fan before and only saw it because the housemate was watching it but wow, it’s gone terrible! BBC clearly just promoting other BBC shows with Apprentice music used and the very very bad Dragons Den “skit”…. how is this still classed as Factual? So confused!

Pagani – brilliant
Kris Meeke in Bentley – epic tv
P-45 – yawn – toooooo long
Damian Lewis – good sport – looked like more fun than normal

Top Gear just gets better. Damien Lewis crosses the line sideways, the new Pagani and now the P45. Well done lads, can’t wait for next Sunday!
