Career: Jeremy was employed as a trainee journalist on the Rotherham Advertiser, but he quit while reporting on a local agricultural show because he grew tired of the marrow-growers and Pony Club mums. He joined the family firm as a salesman and moved to London, where he found a new career as a motoring writer. In 1987, he met a Top Gear producer at a car launch and was invited on to the show. He quickly became one of its most popular presenters, but left the programme in 1998 to concentrate on other projects. Other series he has fronted include Speed, Meet The Neighbours and his own chat show, Clarkson. However, he missed talking about cars and returned to a revamped Top Gear, which is now one of the world's most-watched shows.

Career: His broadcasting career began on local radio, before he got his big TV break hosting a number of daytime shows on Men & Motors. In 2002, he landed a slot on BBC's Top Gear, where he was given the nickname Hamster. Other series Richard has presented include Crufts, the British Parking Awards, Should I Worry About…?, The Gunpowder Plot: Exploding the Legend, Time Commanders, and Sky One's Brainac: Science Abuse. He was also a team captain on the quiz show Petrolheads and narrated the BBC series Last Man Standing. In recent years, he has started presenting serious documentaries on such subjects as warfare and engineering, and secured a world exclusive interview with his hero, Evel Knievel. He is the current face of the rather silly but very enjoyable Total Wipeout.

Career: May's TV career began in 1998 with the Channel 4 series Driven, which ran for four years. In 1999, he landed a presenting role on BBC's Top Gear before it was axed due to low ratings. He rejoined the revamped version of the show in its second series. Other projects for the BBC have included Oz and James's Big Wine Adventure, James May's 20th Century, James May's Big Ideas, James May's Man Lab, and James May's Toy Stories.

Career: Started out on stage, where he was spotted by filmmaker Robert Altman. He made his big-screen debut in 1974's Death Wish, and worked with Altman on California Split and Nashville. He also had a one-line role in Woody Allen's 1977 Oscar-winning movie Annie Hall. Goldblum has worked steadily ever since in such films as The Right Stuff, The Big Chill, Silverado, The Fly, The Tall Guy, Earth Girls are Easy, Jurassic Park and Independence Day. More recent projects include The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Mini's First Time, Man of the Year and Fay Grim. Away from acting, he plays in a jazz band with RoboCop actor Peter Weller. He starred in short-lived TV series Raines, and in 2009, he returned to TV to star in his second crime series, Law & Order: Criminal Intent.
