In the annals of action movies few can compare with 'Mad Max 2', a full-throttle epic of speed and carnage that rockets you into a dreamlike landscape where the post-nuclear future meets the mythological past. More simply, its also one of the most mind-blowing stunt movies ever made.

Max (Mel Gibson) the heroic loner who drives the roads of outback Australia in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defenders of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by the Humungus (Kjell Nilsson), notorious for never taking prisoners when they can pulverise them instead. When the battle is joined, the results are savage, spectacular and with Mad Max 2 on your side, screen action doesnt get any better.

We're back! Because, frankly, we think we can do better. Our first Perfect Road Trip ended badly. This time we're determined to get things right. So, it's Italy... 500 miles from Venice to the isle of Capri via Bologna, Siena, Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento and Positano on the stunning Amalfi coast.

This time we're pulling out all the stops for perfection with the McLaren 650S and its fellow 200mph-clubber, the Lamborghini Huracan. Throw in the mind-boggling 900 horsepower hybrid McLaren P1 and you see we mean business. For a blast along the timeless Amalfi coast, we choose two classic 1960s Alfa Romeos. Being in the land of so much culture inspires The Stig to rearrange some furniture - in a bad way. The Midlands Jastronaut searches for his favourite local food - in the wrong way. For our finale, we have the only cars feasible on the isle of Capri - two Ford Capris! Surely nothing can ruin our Perfect Road Trip 2. Enjoy...!

The aim: to select the ideal mode of transport for each leg of a pilgrimage from Venice, Italy to Pau in France - home to a legendary street circuit and the origins of Grand Prix racing. On the way we prepare by taking to the track at Monza - the home of Italian Formula One.

We try to get noticed on the road course in Monaco in a Bugatti, a Lamborghini and a Model T Ford. After cruising the canals in Venice we take to the tarmac and things look good - thanks to the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Mercedes SLS Black. Throw in a Pagani Huayra, Porsche Cayman S and a GT3 as well as the Aston Martin Vanquish centenary edition, Bentley V8 convertible, Rolls Royce Phantom coupe and the face-bending BAC Mono all seems pretty perfect to us. There's culture too. An all-out effort to get the Birmingham burger-boy to savour the culinary delights of Italy and France - including octopus and an old balcony.
Then it's time to turn up the heat even more with a Top Gear race... and the worst forfeit in television history. Finally we head to the historic road course in Pau. Surely nothing could spoil our Perfect Road Trip...

What happens when you take a tall man in jeans, a small man dressed as Ray Mears, and a shaggy haired man with the most ridiculous tool belt you've ever seen and you drop them deep in the Amazon rain forest? Well, either you don't see them again until some proper explorers find their

still-screaming skeletons. Or, as actually happened, you let them take along a trio of temperamental 4x4s and set them off on a 1000 mile journey through forest, over mountains, and across deserts in what turns out to be Top Gear's most exciting, dramatic and visually stunning adventure to date.

And best of all, it culminates with three wonderful cars enjoying absolute petrolhead nirvana.
Bonneville, USA
Jeremy, Richard and James head to the United States to see if the Americans still make any good cars. Unfortunately, there's a small error with their visas and the US immigration authorities will only let them in if they promise not to do anything entertaining. So, with serious faces on they set off on a proper old fashioned muscle car road trip to the amazing Bonneville Salt Flats. Along the way Richard becomes an amateur aerodynamicist, Jeremy discovers a strange security problem with one of their cars, and Captain Slow discovers a hitherto hidden love of fast driving in what turns out to be a dusty, dirty slice of pure car lover's heaven.

Two more 'director's cut'-length 'Top Gear' episodes presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May.

Middle East Special

In their biggest adventure yet (until next year's video), Jeremy, Richard and James attempt to recreate the journey of the original Three Wise Men as they bumble their way across the Middle East towards Bethlehem. But this high octane nativity play is fraught with danger and incompetence. Will they survive the hair-raising landing in a Russian transport plane? Will they get out of Iraq in one piece? Will Jeremy's bullet proof door actually stop bullets? Will their clapped out hairdressers' convertibles survive the tortures of the Syrian deserts? Will James recover from his head injury? Will Mary and Joseph be happy with their gifts? Will they even find the right manger? The answers are yes, yes, no, sort of, sort of, no and no. But you'll find that out for yourself in this extended length film.
U.S. and Albania Road Trips
In their not quite biggest adventures yet, the boys visit the good old US of A and former Eastern Bloc Albania for two action packed road trips. In America our trio, armed with the hottest new supercars - the Mercedes SLS, Ferrari 458 and the Porsche 911 GT3RS -head through NASCAR country and enjoy a dancing Mayor, a Stig on a drive by shooting range, and the white knuckle Virginia Raceway, with their adventure climaxing in a race across New York. But that's nothing compared to Albania, where they are summoned by a Mafia Boss to pick a winner from the new Rolls-Royce Ghost, The Mercedes S-Class, and the new Bentley Mulsanne (sort of). Keen to please, the boys embark on their most comprehensive test ever, including the Dead Fat Man in the Boot challenge, and a bank robbery to find the best getaway car. Will James be killed in the resulting car chase? The answer is yes. Definitely.

After 27 years, 'IT' has returned. As people begin to disappear in Derry, Mike (Isaiah Mustafa) calls the rest of the Losers' Club home so they can destroy IT once and for all. Damaged by the past, the Losers must conquer their deepest fears to take on Pennywise...who is now deadlier than ever.

LucasFilm and director J.J. Abrams join forces once again to take viewers on an epic journey to a galaxy far, far away with 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker', the riveting conclusion of the seminal Skywalker saga, where new legends will be born and the final battle for freedom is yet to come.

Board the Millennium Falcon in the epic adventure 'Solo: A Star Wars Story'. Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo befriends his future co-pilot Chewbacca and meets the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian.

Double bill of episodes from the British motoring programme presented by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond.

India Special

In their most politically perilous overseas adventure to date, the boys defy the Prime Minister by embarking on a trade mission to India armed only with three old British cars, a trouser press and a badly behaved lawnmower. Along the way they attempt a disastrous train-based advertising campaign, host a rather unusual garden party and invent a brand new sport called straight six cricket. Plus, Jeremy has a small accident, Richard gets an unfortunate insect bite and James makes coronation chicken in the most colourful and comical special Top Gear has ever made.
Supercars Across Italy
Closer to home, the presenters set off on a glorious road trip across Italy in three incredible supercars - the Lamborghini Aventador, the Noble M600 and the McLaren MP4-12C. Their adventure starts with an eye widening max speed run at the vast Nardo proving ground which tests not only performance but also sheer bravery. After that the boys head towards Rome, encountering relaxed policemen and work-shy mechanics along the way, before continuing north for a date with one of the toughest and most dangerous challenges they've ever faced - hot laps of the uncompromising Imola Grand Prix track. Great cars, wonderful scenery, hilarious banter and the Stig's Italian cousin - this is Top Gear at its very best.
