Reaching a peak in the 1990s thanks to presenter Jeremy Clarkson,
the original series then 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
co-presenters 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. Top Gear has long attracted
criticism for its dangerous stunts and the presenters'
controversial opinions, but thankfully 'the Hamster' made a full
recovery and Top Gear has continued to pull in massive audiences
across the world. This is the full story of the unstoppable rise of
Clarkson, Hammond, May and The Stig - and how they have transformed
an ordinary programme about cars into one of the most famous and
best-loved TV programmes of the 21st century.
