Top Gear

[The Dragon Master]

Top Gear is a BBC and Emmy award winning television series about motor vehicles, primarily cars. It began in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine show. Over time, and especially since a relaunch in 2002, it has developed a quirky, humorous style. The show is currently presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, and also features a test driver known as The Stig. The programme is estimated to have 350 million viewers worldwide

I LOVE Top Gear!

James May is the best of the three.

Absolutely the BEST show they ever did was when they drove to the North Pole! An amazing achievement! And the classic line was when Jeremy Clarkson said to James May You'll be the first person to reach the North Pole who never wanted to be there!

James May also does a lot of fantastic shows on his own. Did you see the one where he trained at NASA and went on the Vomit Comet, bouncing along at the edge of space? He also made a very funny programme about old toys from the 1960s.

Don't know that one.

Did you see the one where they turned their boats into cars and sailed them across the channel to France?



We downloaded one recently where they motorcycled about 1,000 miles north through Korea. That was funny.

TG is great and I have watched every episode there's ever been.



My personal favourite presenter is James May, I also like the other stuff he does too.

I think Jeremy Clarkson is the most hilarious out of the three
