Series 2 of Top Gear, a British motoring magazine and factual television programme, was broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC Two during 2003, consisting of ten episodes between 11 May and 20 July;[1] a compilation episode, titled "Best of Top Gear", was broadcast after the series concluded on 27 July, featuring the best moments of the previous two series. It was the first series to feature James May, who was brought in to replace Jason Dawe following the first series, and the first to credit the programme's anonymous driver, "The Stig", as an additional presenter; though not under their actual identity.
The series' most notable elements included a race between several noted sci-fiction character franchise, which was later cut out of re-runs for licensing reasons, and a contest to name the greatest car of all times; as of 2023, only two segments of this are not included for re-runs, one for legal reasons, the other for unknown reasons.
