Friends of Top Gear, we have good news: the brand-new series of TG TV returns to your screens, kicking off on Sunday 17 February at 8pm on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.

Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris and Rory Reid will host five hour-long episodes, bringing you the very best in televisual motoring entertainment and consumer advice.

And thus, we bring you: the best supercar alternatives to a family estate, racing to the top of a mountain using the smallest 4x4s in the UK, driving across Sri Lanka in Tuk-tuks, Chris Harris mostly sideways on our track in a Porsche 911 GT2 RS, and buying (and racing) used luxury cars for the price of a new Dacia Sandero.

Guests taking to the track in our Reasonably Fast Car Our this series include X-Men star James Marsden, rapper and singer-songwriter Professor Green, and Episodes star Stephen Mangan.

So, mark up your novelty ‘puppies of 2019’ calendar: 17 February, 2019, BBC Two and BBC iPlayer at 8pm. Top Gear is back.
