Cars of the People is a series of spin-off factual programmes of the BBC Two factual television series Top Gear, presented by James May,[1] which looks at how the motor vehicle became an everyday part of human life.

[2] Although billed as a stand-alone series in the United Kingdom, international broadcasts are billed as special episodes of Top Gear, designed to bridge the gap between the broadcast of each series.

Each episode is filmed in the same style as Top Gear, with many of the same cast and crew, as well as featuring jokes which relate to events or sequences in the parent series.

A second series of three episodes was set to be broadcast in 2015; but was indefinitely delayed due to the scandal which saw presenter Jeremy Clarkson dropped from the parent series, which in turn led to the departures of both Richard Hammond and May.

[3] May has confirmed that no further episodes will be produced due to his commitment to Amazon Prime Video.
