Top Gear, a British television series about motor vehicles is the most widely watched factual television program in the world, which began in 1977. In 2002, a new format was proposed, which lead to the quirky, humorous and sometimes controversial style popular today. Richard Hammond was a part of the initial presenting team for the relaunch, and by 2008, Top Gear had become so popular that the waiting list to get tickets for a recording included more than 300,000 names, or 21 years' worth of episodes. He is sometimes referred to as "The Hamster" by fans and his co-presenters on Top Gear due to his name and comparatively small stature.
