Top Gear's First Episode Will Air Soon

Ever since Jeremy Clarkson has been ousted from the BBC after an altercation with a member of the production team, things have been weird for the Top Gear show. We learned that the series would now be presented by Chris Evans, while the trio made of Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond would migrate to another provider, Amazon.

On the BBC side, news is positive: Chris Evans stated that its team was well on its way to wrapping up the first few episodes, and they are planning a trip to the United States to film some segments. If all goes according to plan, they should finish up around the 5th of May, meaning that the first of 16 episodes should be aired on May 8, 2016.

Before that, the BBC will show a Christmas Special previously recorded by the old team, a two-part show that will essentially regroup some of the best segments of the 2002-2015 seasons.
