I watched a substantial part of the 'original' Top Gear (2002), not that care about cars, but some of the specials and challenges were great. Top Gear did have a fair share of controversies though, enough to justify a dedicated wiki page.
Eventually, the show imploded in 2015 and the original hosts (Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond) were replaced.

We just need a way to save burnt toast now.
Also, some of the other videos on the channel are worth a watch.
I need to re-watch some Top Gear specials, or maybe try The Grand Tour... with some toast...
