One of the trio who presents Top
Gear, along with Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond.
Originally from Bristol, he now lives in West London.
Has also worked as a journalist for many years, including Autocar where he was fired for a rather subtle printing message in a particular issue.
Generally the opposite to Jeremy Clarkson, including giving him stick on his rather rash nature, and taking plenty for being much more sensible. Is often patrionisingly called 'Captain Slow' and 'The Christian Motorist'. However, the pair worked together to become the first
people to successfully drive a car to the magnetic North Pole.
Also likes to be patriotically
British, including referencing the war frequently, drinking real
ale and praising old
British luxury motors.
