Personally, I like the one with brown hair, Hammond. He's my favorite!! He is sooooo cute!!
There have been multiple versions of this show made, including one made in 1977, another one made in 2002 with different hosts, one from Australia and one from the US.
Top Gear UK is the ONLY one I will watch, no other!!!!

This show is currently hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. And also features a stunt driver named The Stig, which have been played by at least 3 different people. Most of the time you can find this show on BBC or if u live in the US, like me, BBC America.
Races
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_(2002_TV_series)#Races
This show usually features Jeremy Clarkson or one of the other hosts doing a race in a car against other forms of transportation. And it also involves Hammond and May taking another form of transportation, such as car, train or ferry.
Challenges

These can vary to anything, from being roadies for the Who, to taking cars and trying to make custom build limousines, or playing soccer with Mini Coopers and a oversized inflatable ball, or trying to find the perfect car for a 17 year old or trying to make a homemade RV and go on a trip with it. They usually have a set budget they have to work with, and it's usually pretty funny to watch them do the tasks given to them to help them accomplish the goal.
Christmas

Every year around the holidays, they undertake a goal and challenge themed after the holidays. In 2010, they were flown to Iraq to try and re-enact the exact path that the 3 Wise Men took to find baby Jesus.
