The
full story of the unstoppable rise of Clarkson, Hammond, May, and the
Stig—and how they created one of the most famous TV shows of the 21st
century
Reaching
a peak in the 1990s thanks to presenter Jeremy Clarkson, the original
series faced the axe in 2001 but Clarkson and producer Andy Wilman
successfully pitched a new format to BBC bosses and Top Gear
returned to become the irreverent, funny, and often controversial show
we now know and love. The addition of Richard Hammond and James May
completed the Top Gear dream team and ratings soared as viewers
tuned in to see the latest Star in a Reasonably Priced Car, arguments
over the Cool Wall, and Power Laps by the mysterious Stig. Recent
seasons have been defined by their madcap challenges with predictably
hilarious results. Hour-long specials such as the 1,000-mile journey
across Africa in cars bought for less than $2,500, and a race to the
magnetic North Pole in which Clarkson and May became the first people to
drive a motor vehicle to the Pole, have cemented Top Gear's
reputation as much more than just a car show. But the show's most
shocking moment came in 2006, when Hammond suffered serious head
injuries while driving a Vampire turbojet drag racing car at over
300mph. From a humble beginning as a 1970s car show, to achieving world
domination, this is the full story.
