Set your alarms, ready your Big Red Pen upon your calendar, order your tattooist to create a permanent mirror-image reminder upon your forehead in three-inch letters: we have the Official Start Date For Series 15 of TopGear and we shall reveal it�
Ready?
8pm on BBC Two on Sunday June 27.
That�s it. Right there. You probably thought you already knew it, what with all the rampant speculation flying around the internet. But you didn�t. Not Officially, anyhow. But you do now. You can tell it�s official. It has a full stop and everything.
We�ll have plenty more information on what to expect from Series 15 over the next few weeks. Just as a teaser, though, how do you like the sound of modified motor homes, the real story behind the Reliant Robin, the death of the Chevrolet Lacetti, a race between the VW Touareg and a pair of extreme snowmobilers� and the Stig doing some bad things in a Bentley Continental Supersports?
Richard Hammond � wee lad, white teeth � is most looking forward to the something a little less extreme, however.
�The emotional tribute to the British sports car is silly but fun and, I think, has some genuinely touching moments as we were the best in the world at making sports cars,� says Richard. Don�t worry, there�ll be plenty of overly horsepowered, wildly expensive metal hitting the track, too.
�We�re going to hit every single supercar as well,� Richard tells us. �In truth nobody�s buying them right now, but it doesn�t make any difference because it�s mostly a feature for the 10-year-old in all of us that just wants to look at the new Ferrari 458 or R8 Spyder��
So that�s Series 15 of TopGear, kicking off at 8pm on BBC Two on Sunday June 27. Join us.
