Top Gear Stunt Man

TG Stuntman in action.

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.

In the second episode of Series 11 he next 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 red 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 MG Maestro (white), 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.

He made a third and final appearance on the show in the 7th episode of Series 12 in an attempt to beat Fifth Gear's record of the longest jump by a car while pulling a caravan (this stunt attempt was mainly down to Top Gear wanting to get revenge on Fifth Gear for the incident where their belongings we're destroyed in a fire). The car chosen was a Jaguar XJ6 which had been purchased for £400. On this occasion Richard Hammond talked the viewers through the challenge where they hoped to beat the record of 187ft 8in. Unfortunately the attempt failed with Fifth Gear's record remaining unbeaten.
