Just for info, since most people just know the current show; Top Gear started in 1977 originally, on some local BBC channel, then came the proper & v. popular show with Tiff Needell, Vicky Butler, Clarkson, etc., on the national BBC channel.

Clarkson pissed off a lot of the other presenters and they then left the show as a consequence of this (in 1999). The show got cancelled for a couple of years until it picked up again with the current presenters we all know.

The presenters that left the show in 1999 created a new show on Channel5 called Fifth Gear.
