The Earls Court Motor Shows were still the principal arena for the general public to see what was new on the market. Paris. New York, Tokyo, Geneva and Amsterdam were all shows where British cars shone in the battle for exports. Featured cars are Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Daimler, the Rover Gas Turbine, the Ford Zephyr and Zodiac, the Triumph Spitfire, the all new Morris 1100, the Hillman Imp, the MGB, Jensen, the new Vauxhalls and many more.

At the same time, Top Gear and its three hosts who push the envelope of what constitutes as an automobile are the most downloaded shows around the world.

Although it may be hard to explain the three middle aged auto journalists have become celebrities across the world as they take the show to cities, including Amsterdam, Cape Town, Sydney, and Hong Kong.

In fact, the three hosts, James May, Richard Hammond, and Jeremy Clarkson are so popular that even teenage girls and schoolboys rush to catch glimpses of the stars and public appearances, which make the three middle-aged hosts more respected than most pop stars that you think would appeal at that age.

At the same time that the show works based on corny outrageous skits that involve everything that can happen with vehicular stunts and a large budget, it also manages to have a small political slant due to the fact that it defies what the New Labour party creates as a nanny state.

In fact, a month hardly passes without Top Gear managing to raise controversy and the need for an Ofcom ruling on its potentially censored jokes.  At the heart of most of the hearings are jokes pertaining to speeding, suicide, prostitution, and sexist claims by watchers.

Top Gear has been through many changes as it has aged with the viewing populations, but some of these changes may be what has made it such a pop sensation today.

Among the changes include the fact that it has a news section that takes care of business quickly, that it is filmed in an aircraft hanger with a live audience, and that the line-up is always male and almost always unfair and unreasonable, and never PC.
