As fellow car fanatics, it’s often hard for us Statesiders to get a clear picture as to how big of a phenomenon Top Gear<\/em> really is over in the UK. After all, we hardly have a proper frame of reference – the only car shows that really draw significant audience shares in America are the 500s (your choice of Daytona or Indianapolis), and everything else is comparatively minor – from failed series attempts like NBC’s Night Rider<\/em><\/a> redux to the Speed network and stalwarts like MotorWeek<\/a>.So… just how big are Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond in Blighty? The Great Britains have just been named heads of the biggest show of the decade.<\/p>\n

According to the Daily Mail<\/em>, a new survey conducted by YouGov (commissioned for a Channel4 tv special), The Greatest TV Show of the Noughties<\/em>, the forty-something boys and their fabulous toys topped all comers from all genres. The BBC program beat out such programs as the UK’s homegrown version of The Apprentice<\/em>, Doctor Who<\/em>, The Office<\/em>, The Simpsons<\/em>, and Britain’s Got Talent<\/em>.<\/p>\n
