The Resume

    (1977-2001)
    Born in United Kingdom
    (1977-2001 in half hour format) Revived in 2002- as hour long format
    BBC motoring show, aired on BBC2
    Hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May
    High performance cars are tested by 'The Stig,' a mystery racing driver
    2005 International Emmy winner in Non-Scripted Entertainment category

Why Top Gear might be annoying:

    Richard Hammond was critically injured in a jet car crash while filming a sequence for the show (September 2006).
    The 6'5'' Clarkson routinely calls 5'7'' Hammond 'The Hamster.'
    Thanks to the British climate many of The Stig's lap times have to be done in the wet.
    They road tested the Bugatti Veyron, but didn't set a lap time with The Stig as Bugatti wouldn't lend them a car.
    Queen's 'Don't Stop Me Now' was voted the greatest driving tune in a viewer poll.
    Simon Cowell set one the fastest celebrity lap times.
    They are an easy target for environmentalists and other killjoys.

Why Top Gear might not be annoying:

    On the 'Cool Wall' any car owned by any of the presenters is automatically rated as un-cool.
    All celebrity guests must drive the stock 'Reasonably Priced Car' rather than anything exotic.
    Footage of Hammond's jet car crash beat Celebrity Big Brother in the ratings (January 2007).
    They test convertibles in rainy places (eg: Scottish highlands).
    A 1988-vintage Toyota pickup truck was mounted on a plinth in the studio after it survived numerous attempts to deliberately break it.
    The Stig is rumored to be a very famous driver, possibly Damon Hill or Nigel Mansell.
