Top Gear has taken an unusual route – the new series does not feature any big accidents.
Asked if presenters Freddie Flintoff, 43, and Paddy McGuinness, 47, had crashed any cars this season, co-host Chris Harris said: “We have two reformed characters.”
Chris, 46, added: “It’s been joyous. There has been very little bent metal, there has been respect for the machinery. This is a new Top Gear.”
A show insider said it is the first season they can remember without a seriously damaged car.
In 2020 Paddy crashed a Lamborghini Diablo in Yorkshire, whilst Freddie previously smashed into a market stall during filming in Mansfield in 2019 and crashed a motorised trike last year.

The new series also features episodes on James Bond cars, having a mid life crisis and an emotional one which the presenters drive in cars they used to travel in with their fathers as children.
It sees them behind the wheel of a BMW, Ford Fiesta and a Cortina.
