Behind-the-scenes at episode six

The fat lady has got the Listerine out and is making throaty noises. The end of series 17 of Top Gear is almost upon us.

The final episode of our latest series is on this Sunday at 8pm as usual: BBC2 and BBC HD. But don't get too emotional yet - enjoy our final set of pictures from Wednesday's rehearsals and remember to clear the diary for Sunday evening. It's a good one. See you there.
