Series 16, episode 1: pictures from live filming

Top Gear 16, episode 1: live recording

We're back! And the big news wasn't Jeremy conducting a Very Sensible Road Test of the Skoda Yeti, or Richard Hammond racing against gravity, or even James failing to destroy his face via the medium of V8. No, you will probably have noticed all three were sporting BRAND NEW HAIRCUTS.
Still, aside from this follicular change, the show was a historic one, with two lap records being smashed, both by the Face Destroyer and by a quite funny Liverpudlian...
The episode is now on the BBC iPlayer if you're in the UK. If you're not, or you just want more, click on for this week's behind-the-scenes pics from the show...
