'We just reflect what's going on out there.
'So in five years' time, if 70 per cent of the cars sold in the UK are electric then 70 per cent of the cars we test on the show will be electric.
'Compared to three years ago, we film 34 per cent more in the UK. So we made a big change there and we will continue to do that'.

'It definitely is a generation thing. Children have been taught - some might say brainwashed - that the motor vehicle is an evil thing.
'Yeah, it's been too dirty for too long but ultimately it's done an awful lot of good for us and I think Top Gear has a right to stand there and celebrate that.
'And it is cleaning up its act very, very quickly. Top Gear should scrutinise whether electric cars really are the future because I don't think there's enough lithium on the planet to create all the batteries that we're going to need for this new revolution'.
'Top Gear has come back with a real bang and we couldn't be happier with how the audience is responding. I am delighted that this Christmas we'll have a special adventure which promises to be epic and gruelling in true Top Gear style'.
