Top Gear: why we're mad about the boys
Top Gear isn't just a TV show: it's a phenomenon. With its ludicrous stunts, enormous budgets and defiantly non-PC edge, it's become a global smash hit. What is the secret to its success?
Top Gear has in fact taken over the world. It is now broadcast in more than 100 countries, claiming a global audience of 350 million. It is the most illegally downloaded show on the planet. Its format, which its makers describe as "crap men adventures with crap cars", has turned three shabby, middle-aged motoring journalists into global rock stars. This month not only sees a new series but a world tour, Top Gear Live, which will take the show to cities including Sydney, Cape Town, Hong Kong and Amsterdam.
Top Gear is not simply BBC2's highest rating programme; it is a phenomenon. Schoolboys and teenage girls flock to public appearances by its presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Even environmentally conscious viewers get guilty pleasure from its ludicrous stunts filmed with enormous budgets. And it's political: it kicks against what it sees as New Labour's nanny state (a Downing Street website poll demanding Clarkson become prime minister attracted nearly 50,000 signatures) and does everything in its power to provoke the politically correct sensibilities of the BBC. Barely a month passes without the show crashing into controversy, with rulings on its jokes about prostitutes and suicide, and accusations that it is sexist, environmentally reckless and glamorises speeding.

Watched it last night before bed. Judging by the first episode, some of the season 12 lunacy that was missing in season 13 has returned in season 14. Can't wait for next Sunday.

the episodes that BBC America airs as "new" are actually couple of years old. They aren't showing the current season in the US. If you want to watch the currently season (14), you will have to download it or watch it on streetfire/etc.
