There’s something new to look forward to, as Series 25 of Top Gear finally gets a debut date – February 25. In just a few weeks’ time, we’ll get to watch Chris Harris, Matt LeBlanc and Rory Reid play around in expensive toys, while generally making a mess of things.
Accompanying the announcement is a one-minute video where the hosts are all about helping The Stig with a milk run. With a big spread of vehicles laid out before them, Reid chose a Mercedes-Benz G 500 4×4², LeBlanc took the keys to the new Aston Martin Vantage, and Harris went with a Skoda Fabia R5 rally car.
Rather than popping by the shops, the trio went on a drive along the countryside to get Stig’s milk directly from the source. It’s all done in good humour, and we’d like to see what happens after they found out there’s no sugar either.
Anyway, a previous trailer showed a number of exotic cars that will be featured throughout the series. This includes the new BMW M5, Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Kia Stinger, McLaren 720S, Honda Civic Type R, Lexus LC and Mercedes-AMG E 63 4Matic+. Of course, there’s also the numerous stunts and other quirky vehicles in the mix. Excited yet?
Who forgot to buy milk? #TopGear returns to UK screens Sunday 25 Feb#TopGear #MilkRun #Stig

Our Driven by Paul Tan and team is 100X better than Top Gear. Driven talk facts. They talk about handling, ride quality, legroom, FC and many car related topics.
Top Gear just climb mountain, fly aeroplane, bungee jumping, parachute a car from a plane etc etc. No car related news.
You’re comparing apples n oranges… One is entertainment and the other is a proper review…
Paul Tan’s team is good, agreed, but the intonation and pacing could be improved. Still seems too scripted.
I’ve even watched the BM and Ching Chong versions of the videos and they are also quite excellent!
the old Top Gear’s been great. The new one I don’t know – yet to watch a full episode. But if the spirit’s the same – all in the name of motoring fun through wacky challenges – it should be alright. It’s what motorheads need to wind down after watching info-rich motoring shows.
