List of episodes
Series 9 of Top Gear, a British motoring magazine and factual television programme, was broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC Two during 2007, and consisted of six episodes that were aired between 28 January and 4 March. Production on the series was delayed by several months when Richard Hammond was seriously injured after crashing the Vampire dragster racer whilst filming for the show; the first episode, which welcomed him back, showed the footage of this crash. This series was the first to introduce feature-length specials focused on road trips with motoring challenges, with other highlights including the presenters attempting to build a Space Shuttle with a Reliant Robin, creating home-made stretch limos, and reaching top speed in the Bugatti Veyron.
A compilation episode that was delayed by Hammond's accident, featuring the best moments of the eighth series and titled "Best of Top Gear", was aired on 1 March 2007. Two specials were aired after the series concluded, with the first being Top Gear of the Pops on 16 March, a crossover with the BBC's music programme Top of the Pops, focused mainly on musical performances in the programme's main studio. The second special was another feature-length motoring challenge, titled Top Gear: Polar Special, which was aired on 25 July, focused on the presenters attempting to reach the 1998 location of the North Pole. The ninth series received criticism over some of its footage, including airing a mocked-up rail safety clip shortly after a major rail accident, while its Polar Special was criticised for attempting to debunk climate change concerns.
