Top Gear S13E01

Episode 1

It starts with an extraordinary race as Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May set out to discover what Top Gear might have been like 60 years ago. To this end, James grabs himself a gorgeous old Jaguar XK120 sports car while Richard chooses to torture himself on the brutal but rather fantastically named Vincent Black Shadow motorbike. Meanwhile, in an almost unprecedented move, Jeremy decides to take the train. But not just any old train; he’s on the footplate of the Tornado, a brand new steam train built to the original blueprints used to create some of Britain’s finest locomotives back in the heyday of the railways.
