Television show review

Top Gear is a show that everyone that knows what is a Bugatti Veyron knows. Even if they don't they should know what is The Stig or Jeremy Clarkson. I know this isn't going to be perfect, but I am reviewing this excellent and hilarious show.
First of all, the presenters: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig. A pretty good lineup, I must say. A typical Top gear show would be segments of challenges, cool walls, car reviews, news and stars driving reasonably priced cars. Occasionally, there would be a special episode, when the whole thing is made up of one big chunk of challenge. When I mean reviews and news, I didn't mean anything like the normal ones at all. In the reviews, it is basically one of the presenters driving a car, usually a supercar round the test track and the Stig will set a time in it. The news is basically the three presenters defaming cars like Morris Marina.
The challenges are the best part of the show. The challenges are almost all the time extremely hard to attempt. Past challenges included "Buy a car for $100" and "Make an Avantine go faster then a Evo 8". In most of the challenges, Jeremy Clarkson will either have the best or the worst car and made the stupidest decisions. It is his shrewdness that made him winner for several times. The usual flow of a cheap car challenge is: Speed test by the stig, Reliability test, Fuel Economy and a unique test.
What is one of the hilarious thing about Top Gear is that all three of the presenters hate Morris Marina, a British car. They even dropped pianos on two Morris Marinas in seperate occasions.
As you have read, I give a very high credit to Top Gear's hilarious style. If you have nothing to do on Wednesday nights, tune in to BBC Knowledge and watch it. Trust me, you will be addicted to it.
