Amongst other adventures, the trio attempt to reinvent the ambulance, investigate the strange world of classic car ownership, take part in a nail-biting race across St. Petersburg and set off on an epic road trip through the wilds of Australia.

Also in this series, Clarkson and May look at the highs and lows of one of France's biggest car makers, Hammond pays a dramatic tribute to the dying days of the Land Rover Defender and Jeremy makes up his mind about the BMW I8 hybrid on a trip to buy some fish and chips. Meanwhile, out on the test track there's a scorching line-up of fast cars including the Lamborghini Huracan, the Mercedes AMG GT, the Jaguar F-type R, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and the Porsche Cayman GTS. And as if that wasn't enough, the series starts with a sensational special in which the presenters pay tribute to the V8 engine with an epic and arduous trip to the very tip of South America.

Who would have believed that a poky motoring show like Top Gear could reach its landmark 20th series? Well, it did and here's the pre-packed proof.

This was the series in which Dieter finally made clear his feelings for Helga whilst Kari-Hans faced the prospect of life without Astrid and the cats, all thanks to her controlling father and his desire to protect the Munchwagner wool dynasty. No, wait. We seem to have confused series 20 of Top Gear with series 20 of long-running German soap opera 'Leben Kann Ineffizient'. Series 20 of Top Gear was actually the one with the supercars across Spain, the hire car racing a yacht up New Zealand, the BAC Mono on the track, the Ferrari F12 through 'Hertfordshire', the amazing Ford Transit Hovervan, the motorcyclist against the free runners around TV Centre, Jeremy and James attempting to be caravanners, Richard finding the world's fastest taxi, tests of the Jaguar F-type, Range Rover Sport and New London Bus in a celebration of the best of British that ended in flag waving, tear jerking style on The Mall, and a brand new Reasonably Priced Car.

Coming at you out of the sun like a titanium-skinned, nuclear-powered, monkey-navigated fighter jet of excellence, it's the triple discs of the Top Gear Series 19.

On the first two shining circle of delights you'll find all of your favourite moments from the meat of the 19th series including Jeremy's P45 small car, Richard's ecstatic test of the new Pagani and James's brave attempt to take a Bentley rallying. There's also the ingeniously designed old people's car, an epic race from London to Milan, a very thorough, very star-studded test of the new Kia Cee'd and a road trip across America in three sensational GT cars. The third silver wheel of wonder is devoted to the 2013 Top Gear Africa special in which Clarkson, Hammond and May saddle up three tired old estate cars and set off to find the source of the Nile. Along the way they encounter treacherous mud, vicious crocodiles, insane traffic jams, mountainous speed bumps and some truly breathtaking scenery in an epic movie-length adventure.

Yes, it's Top Gear's glorious 17th series on video. That's right, all of your favourite Clarkson, Hammond and May moments from the heady days of mid-2011 captured in one place at last. No more searching the internet for that over-the-top Jaguar E-type 50th birthday celebration.

No more lying awake at night wishing you had instant access to that time they made trains out of cars and caravans. No more staring wistfully into space wishing you could once more enjoy hot hatchbacks driving across Italy, military vehicles being used to demolish a housing estate, Jeremy testing a Formula 1 car you can actually buy, Richard smashing a big red armoured thing through a South African wall, James using a Range Rover Evoque to chauffeur someone who might not have been Cher or all three presenters pretending to be a mythical TV detective trio called The Interceptors. You can rest easy at last, because inside this box is everything you've ever wanted. Assuming that 'everything you've ever wanted' only includes 'things from series 17 of Top Gear'.

Captured for the first time on Video, the 16th series of Top Gear finds Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May on typically explosive form.

Within this lavishly constructed plastic box you will find many splendid things including a combine harvester that's also a snow plough, a luxury limo test that accidentally turns into a bank robbery, a car-based Ashes tournament against the Australians, a farewell to the Pagani Zonda, a helicopter landing on a Skoda, a Volkswagen Beetle falling from the sky, a classic '80s battle between the Porsche 959 and Ferrari F40, a road test of a real life moon buggy and a race against God himself. Obviously those actual things aren't inside the box. That would be silly. It's a small silver disc that's inside the box. And you'll need some sort of playing machine to watch the exciting things upon it. Holding it up to your head simply won't work. Trust us, we've tried.

Jeremy, Richard, James and The Stig are back in the all-singing, all-dancing 15th series of the world's biggest car show.

In this series the boys attempt to build cool motorhomes, go to Germany to make their own track day videos, and celebrate the British sports car with a nostalgic road trip to Blackpool. There's also Jeremy's famously wobbly look back at the Reliant Robin three wheeler, James's plucky attempt to drive a Toyota Hilux up an active volcano, and Richard's quest to give the old Reasonably Priced Car a Viking burial. As if that wasn't enough, The Stig tears up the track in the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, the Ferrari 458 Italia and the Bentley Continental Supersports, whilst the all new Reasonably Priced Car welcomes a cavalcade of stars including Andy Garcia, Jeff Goldblum and Rubens Barrichello.

The fourteenth series kicks off with a driver's idea of heaven when Richard and Janies take an Aston DBS Volante, a Ferrari California and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder to Romania in search of "the greatest road in the world".

Elsewhere, James makes a rare appearance on the track as he compares two absurdly powerful limos; Jeremy and Richard settle the thorny issue of which company has made the greatest number of truly brilliant cars; and Richard invents the brand new sport of airport vehicle racing. Celebrities taking a turn in the "Star in the Reasonably Priced Car" include actors Eric Bana and Michael Sheen plus RocknRolla director Guy Ritchie, who seems to have a little trouble with his gears!

Series 13 of this BAFTA-winning show skids, roars and explodes its way back onto video, with man versus machine experiments, exhaustive road tests of the latest models, a look back at the history of motoring, weekly power tests featuring the world's most exotic super-cars...

and a surprise revelation. Hot on the heels of their epic challenge in Vietnam, Jeremy, Richard and James are no less ambitious for Series 13. James goes for a ride with stunt-driving legend Ken Block; Richard travels to Abu Dhabi to test the new Lambo Murcielago LP640-4 SV; the boys buy three £1,500 rear-drive sports cars and somehow find themselves entered in a terrifying French ice race. Elsewhere, Jeremy and James attempt to understand what makes a great Volkswagen advertisement - and then try to film one of their own. Rather predictably, it doesn't go well. And in a television-first, the mysterious Stig takes off his helmet to reveal just who he really is... The Stig continues to put the rich and famous through their paces out on the test track in 'The Star in the Reasonably Priced Car'. Celebrities include Michael Schumacher, Olympic Gold sprinter Usain Bolt, actress Sienna Miller (who has just passed her driving test), AC/DC's singer Brian Johnson and 'the biggest petrolhead in the world' Jay Leno.

The overgrown boys are back - bigger, faster and more explosive than ever. In 'Top Gear: Series 11' watch as Jeremy, Richard and James put a massive range of old and new cars through a series of crazy challenges, pushing machines to the limit in the name of entertainment.

Tyres burst, clutches seize, gearboxes disintegrate, engines fail and bits drop off in their hands, stretching the boys' resourcefulness, ingenuity and patience to breaking point. Fasten your seatbelts as you watch their attempts to build a better police car with old bangers, race a Nissan GT-R against the fearsomely efficient Japanese public transport system, break down in three sub-£1,000 Alfa Romeos, invent car fox-hunting using only a Daihatsu Terios 4x4 and Jeremy as the prey, and try not to cause a diplomatic incident as they take on the German version of Top Gear in a series of grueling automotive tests. And as if that wasn't enough, the boys also find time to test some of the hottest new models around including the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, Mitsubishi Evo X, Bentley Brooklands and Mazda's amazing Furai concept car.

Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is the best there is at extraction: stealing valuable secrets inside the subconscious during the mind's vulnerable dream state. His skill has made him a coveted player in industrial espionage but has also made him a fugitive and cost him dearly. Now he may get a second chance if he can do the impossible: inception, planting an idea rather than stealing one. If they succeed, Cobb and his team could pull off the perfect crime. But no planning or expertise can prepare them for a dangerous enemy who seems to predict their every move. An enemy only Cobb could have seen coming.
