The following is a complete episode list of the BBC television series Top Gear since its 2002 relaunch. As of Series Ten there have been 89 episodes. The show is currently presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig, an anonymous test driver. Jason Dawe was a co-presenter for the first series, but was replaced by May for the second series, as the show stopped prioritizing reviews for used cars.
