That same year, Clarkson would win his first award from the Royal Television Society as 'Best Presenter'.ĭuring this period of growth, numerous spin-off series would be created with the aim of diversifying the topics which were covered by Top Gear. The show would pick up a notoriety throughout the 1990s once long-term main host William Woollard left at the end of Series 25 with Clarkson taking over the role of lead presenter, and would attract an audience of millions, peaking at 5 - 6 million viewers per week by Series 39 in 1998. Success would wane over the coming years however, and was extensively revised from 1986 - 1988, resulting in the arrival of many new presenters such as Jeremy Clarkson and Tiff Needell. Top Gear started out in 1977 as a regional monthly show which aired over the course of 9 months and was successful enough to go national in a syndicated format the year after.

In the first episode of the series, Jeremy announces that Top Gear has returned and that this isn't a repeat, so long as the viewers at home are not watching Dave. Due to the lower number of episodes, the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car segment was presented in a head-to-head format, pitting Alan Carr against Justin Lee Collins. It was presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig. The first episode of the eleventh series of Top Gear aired on the 22nd of June, 2008.
