EPA/NIC BOTHMAOne of the most successful and interesting phenomenons on UK television, Top Gear defies genre. Part factual and part entertainment, the Emmy-winning car show doesn't fit into any standard category.

Scheduled guests include actors Ewan McGregor, Ray Winstone, and chefs Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver.

The hosts

"Top Gear" is described as irreverent, witty, and refreshingly honest, in short, a motor show like no other.Featuring super-cars, stunts, time trials, and road tests, each week Top Gear assesses the performance of some of the most desirable cars around. But it is the sharp wit of its presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, that makes Top Gear more than just a motor show.

Top Gear

Led by Jeremy, the Top Gear team takes cars to the limit and beyond to find out if they're as good as their manufacturers claim. Full of stunts, challenges, and special features, Top Gear is exciting, inclusive, and passionate - produced with style and unique perspective.
