Top Gear Stuntman first appeared in the first episode of Series 11. in a challenge to jump an Austin Allegro backwards over a row of cars, therefore making a world record. It turns out that he set a World Record, but only because there wasn't one to start with.
He later attempted to recreate the famous James Bond sequence in which a car makes a complete barrel roll from one jump to another. He climbed into a strengthened MG Maestro, but failed to make a successful jump; he rolled the Maestro several times. This challenge was revisited in the TopGear: At The Movies Christmas DVD and, in another Maestro, TG Stunt Man managed to land it - partly on the car's rear end.
He was introduced by James May and he was also the one who talked the viewers through the challenge.
