It's the series that won't hold back. Whether they're putting pedal to the metal on the latest, fastest, sexiest cars around or giving the lowdown on a family saloon - it's opinionated, funny and frank.

And when they mess around - they do it in style - destroying caravans, celebrities' egos and taking some truly expensive vehicles to the limit...

Supercar challenge
is it me sleekest, fastest, the biggest pose or a downright waste of hard-earned cash? The Pagani Zonda, the Lamborghini Murcielago, the Ferrari 575, the Aston Martin Vanquish, the McClaren F1 and the Koenigsegg come under scrutiny.

Jumps and stunts
A bus jumps 4 bikes, grannies do doughnuts, a speed camera is beaten and a real crash test - no dummies, no helmets, just a Renault Megane and one brave, stupid driver ...

The lap of luxury
The Mercedes S class, a complete toy fest the Rolls Royce Phantom - 'the best car in the world' and and the eco-trashing Bentley Arnage "trees wither when they hear it coming," but it's a small price...

Celebrity drivers
Steve Coogan proves he's an auto-anorak, Jodie Kidd beats the boys, Jonathan Ross loses control and Jamie Oliver prepares dinner in a speeding campervan...
Masters of the universe Get tough with the Bowler Wildcat, the best off-roader in the world a high speed landrover with an on-board water supply. Or the Talon, an armour-plated riot control vehicle with a grenade launcher on control panel.

Starkly shot in black and white, capturing a Paris not seen on any tourist map, the film deals with France's intolerance towards outsiders, following Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Kounde) and Said (Said Taghmaoui), three young men trapped in the Parisian economic, ethnic and social underclass.

The Long Winter Is Here...Throughout seven thrilling episodes, the penultimate Season 7 focuses on a convergence of armies and attitudes that have been brewing for years. As the season begins, Daenerys Targaryen -accompanied by her.

Unsullied army and emboldened by Dothraki/lronborn allies and her lethal trio of dragons - has finally set sail for Westerns with Tyrion Lannister, her newly appointed Hand. Jon Snow has apparently consolidated power in the North after his spectacular conquest of Ramsay Bolton and the return of Winterfell to Stark control. In King's Landing, Cersei Lannister, bereft of any surviving heirs, has successfully seized the Iron Throne. But as these and other factions drive towards new alliances or (more likely) violent conflicts, the cold specter of another, apocalyptic threat - in the form of an army of undead White Walkers - threatens to undermine the status quo and obliterate the outcome of these smaller, all-too-human rivalries.
