UK Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson and his team were spotted driving through Berry Springs in Australia's Northern Territory on Tuesday in three luxury cars.

A video was taken of the BBC team cruising through the rural area of Darwin and the hosts can be seen in a yellow Bentley Continental, a Nissan GTR and a BMW M3.

Rumours have been circulating as to why the three motorheads are down under, but there was no denying that their presence was felt on the deserted highways in Darwin.

Residents in the Northern Territory are said to be very inquisitive as to exactly why the BBC show is back in the country, but they should expect a very low-key stay - and a tight lipped Clarkson.

The loud and sometimes brash host, 54, has had some very memorable interview moments during his Australian trips, one of many being in 2009, when Clarkson referred to former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown as a 'one eyed Scottish idiot'.

Since then Clarkson has found himself in hot water again and again- including this week, when Clarkson was the recipient of complaints from the Argentinian Ambassador, Alicia Castro.

She accused Clarkson of provocative and insulting behaviour during filming of an episode in Argentina.

Clarkson was put under fire for evoking memories of the 1982 Falklands war during filming and then made insulting remarks about the Argentine government and people.

The number plate of the car Clarkson was driving was 'H982 FKL' and it was seen as a reference to the year and location of the war in which over 900 people died. Clarkson and the BBC said the vehicle number was a coincidence.

The outspoken TV host was quoted as saying hundreds of protesters had thrown rocks and bricks at his car. He called it 'the most terrifying thing I've ever been involved in', and complained that officials had thrown him out of the country for political reasons.

The stars of the show are not expected to be in Australia for too much longer and it can only be assumed that whatever the boys are up to will be used as footage in the upcoming season of the show.

Due to its popularity, Top Gear the TV series has gone from a BBC TV show to a live spectacle.

Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have taken the show around the world through Europe and Australia to perform stunts and experiments in front of live crowds.
