Series 33 of Top Gear , a British motoring magazine and factual television programme. It was broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC One and BBC One HD between 30 October and 18 December 2022. [1] It was the seventh series to feature the presenting line-up of Paddy McGuinness, Freddie Flintoff and Chris Harris the fifth to be broadcast on BBC One, and the first and only series to be produced in Bristol, as the BBC wanted to produce more programming outside of London.
The series' highlights included a supercar road trip through Germany and Austria, a road trip across Thailand in second-hand pickup trucks, and forming a scratch-built race team to compete in the 2022 GT Cup Championship.
This is the last series of Top Gear to air due to production indefinitely going on hiatus due to presenter Freddie Flintoff being injured whilst filming for the planned 34th series. Unlike past series, where The Stig was either killed off or had their identity unveiled, the person behind the character remained secret until former host Jeremy Clarkson revealed it to be endurance racing driver Phil Keen during an interview in December 2024.
