In the next episode, Top Gear leaves the confines of its draughty hangar in rural Surrey and heads on safari in Africa.
In their most gruelling challenge to date, our three intrepid presenters each have to buy a second-hand car costing no more than £1,500. Crucially, they aren't allowed 4x4s. This is probably a bit cruel on our part, because they then have to negotiate some of the most inhospitable terrain Botswana has to offer.
Their route takes them across the vast Makgadikgadi salt pans, treacherous rivers and game reserves filled with animals, many of whom want to eat them. Along the way, they encounter blistering heat, choking dust and the Stig's African cousin.
Sunday 4 November, 8pm BBC Two
Repeated Wednesday 7 November, 7pm on BBC Two
