The BBC television series Top Gear, conceived by Jeremy Clarkson and Andy Wilman. The show used to be presented by Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig. Secondhand car specialist Jason Dawe was a co-presenter for the first series, but was replaced by May for the second series. As of 28 June 2015, 176 episodes of the series have been broadcast, spanning 22 series. In addition, there have been two shorter episodes produced for charity: Top Gear of the Pops, produced for Red Nose Day, and Top Ground Gear Force, produced for Sport Relief. These two episodes are not part of the episode count. There was also an Ashes to Ashes parody for BBC Children in Need which is not included.
A twenty-third series has been commissioned and is scheduled to air in May 2016. It will be the first series following the departure of Clarkson, Hammond and May, with Chris Evans as host, along with Sabine Schmitz, David Coulthard, and Chris Harris. It has been confirmed that The Stig also will feature in the new series.
