Top Gear 13, episode 5: rehearsals

First thing on studio day. That lone face in the production office is telly producer Al – not afraid of an early start.

The rest of the crew – and Jeremy, Richard and James – are in the studio for rehearsals.

Out on the track, Sienna Miller gets some driving lessons from the Stig. She only passed her test last week...

...but that doesn’t mean she’s showing any sign of fear – check out this wayward practice lap

And isn’t that the face of confidence? No wonder Stig took a shine.

Back in the studio the boys are still running through their lines.

Is it all taking too long for Jeremy?

Jeremy’s awake again and it’s time to run though the news.

The production team prepare another Jag XFR – that’s assistant producer Gavin getting meticulous about dirt.

James and Richard rehearse a piece to camera – looks like it’s going well.

Jeremy and Richard have a poke around the new Range Rover.

Here’s a bit of science that’ll make no sense until you tune in on Sunday night. Sorry.

And here’s James’s stunt double.

Finally, a massive grin. It’s either part of the script or something to do with lunch. Again, it’ll be Sunday night before all is revealed.

Check back tomorrow for a preview gallery from the live recording of this week’s show.
