The following is a complete episode list of the BBC television series Top Gear since its 2002 relaunch. As of 3 January, 2010 there have been 118 episodes spanning 14 seasons. The show is currently presented by Jeremy 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 the show stopped prioritising reviews for used cars.
There have also been five out-of-studio special episodes, which are not included in the episode list. These are, in order of broadcast, Top Gear Winter Olympics, Top Gear of the Pops, Top Gear: Polar Special, "Top Gear: Bolivia Special" and Top Ground Gear Force.
