Home > Blossary: Top Gear
Top Gear is a British television series about motor vehicles, primarily cars, and is the most widely watched factual television programme in the world. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May host this fast-paced and stunt-filled motor show that tests whether cars, both mundane and extraordinary, live up to their manufacturers' claims. The hosts travel to locations around the world, performing extreme stunts and challenges to see what the featured cars are capable of. Celebrity guests also appear on some episodes to help the guys test the vehicles. Things don't always go as planned, though, with broken bones and mechanical mishaps sometimes part of the experiments. The program is estimated to have around 350 million views per week in 170 different countries.

Jeremy Charles Robert Clarkson (born 11 April 1960) - English television presenter, journalist and writer, who specialises in cars. Mainly known for his role in the BBC's Top Gear TV show where his co-presenters are Richard Hammond and James May. He also writes a weekly column for The Sunday Times and The Sun. Clarkson has risen from being a local journalist in the North of England to become an influential celebrity as the main presenter in Top Gear's original format in 1988. From the mid-1990's, Clarkson became a well-known personality, regularly appearing on British television both in his own show and as a guest on other shows. As well as programmes about cars, Clarkson has been involved in programmes and books about other subjects such as history and engineering. Between 1998 and 2000, he also hosted his own talk show, Clarkson. His opinionated rhetoric and performing style, though delivered with a sense of humour, often provoked outrage in society. Both his personal activities and those in his capacity as the main Top Gear presenter, sometimes led to criticism on the part of the mass media, politicians, pressure groups and the public. He also attracted a considerable public following, and is recognised as being a major factor in the revitalisation of Top Gear, one of the most popular shows on BBC.
