Top Gear (series 11)


The eleventh series of Top Gear was aired on BBC Two during 2008 and consisted of six episodes, beginning on 22 June and concluding on 27 July 2008. A new character was introduced in this series named Top Gear Stunt Man ; he appeared in the first two episodes of the show, and made a guest appearance in the next series. With the exception of the final episode, this series saw two guests in each episode, with the segment "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" being re-branded subsequently as "Stars in a Reasonably Priced Car".

''News'' Segment

In May 2008, following a brainstorming session with Clarkson, Hammond and May, executive producer Andy Wilman released various facts about Series 11, including confirmation that the presenters would gain more control over the flow of the show's popular News segment. During the series, the segment featured two running jokes. The first saw Clarkson showing an image he claimed to have found on "the Internet", which is not shown on the television broadcast, while the second saw May enthusing about the Dacia Sandero in a very short news item before moving on to the next item without any further discussions on the car.
