* The Reasonably Priced Car may not be a Time Lord, but it does have some connection to the Doctor. At the time of writing, there have been three doctors in the new series, with a fourth coming, and Top Gear have had three RPCs, with a fourth coming. Christopher Eccleston started and left in 2005. David Tennant started in 2005 and left in 2010. Matt Smith started in 2010 and will leave in 2013. The Suzuki Liana started in 2002 and was replaced in 2005. The Chevrolet Lacetti started in 2006 and was replaced in 2010. The Kia Cee'd started in 2010 and will be replaced in 2013. If that's not enough, Eccleston took a lap in the Liana, Tennant took a lap in the Lacetti and Smith took a lap in the Cee'd.

** Haven't seen it. All the news outlets are suggesting it will include brief interview clips with the trio, but knowing the BBC's current marketing strategies there's a good chance it'll just be StockFootage from their adventures with Sabine.

* {{Excel-2009}}. He's a spy from the BBC charged with keeping their already outrageous antics in check. The BBC lets ''Top Gear'' get away with a lot; the Stig is the arbiter of how far past the limit they're allowed to cross.

* [[{{Be}} This troper]] is fairly shameless about how much he detests the "character X is a Time Lord!" meme, but even he can admit when it fits and it's quite obvious that the Stig is a regeneration of Ayrton Senna.

Before the launch of "modern" Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson left Top Gear in 1998. James May was added to the presenter line-up in 1999 and left shortly after. It wouldn't surprise me if May was considered [[TheScrappy a poor replacement for Clarkson]] back then, cause it would explain a lot about his personality traits on both Top Gear and ''Series/TheGrandTour''…

* Currently, Wiki/TheOtherWiki page is suggesting that the next guests will be Alastair Campbell (former Director of Communications and Strategy for UsefulNotes/TonyBlair), [[Film/HarryPotter Rupert Grint]] (which makes sense, if he's promoting Deathly Hallows), and [[UsefulNotes/FormulaOne Rubens Barrichello]] (which makes only a marginal amount of sense, the date he's slated to be on is the weekend of the British Grand Prix, so he'd be in the ''country'', but would he have time to make the interview ''and'' the race?). Having said that, Wikipedia's been proven wrong before.
