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: 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: 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: Richard's first manager persuaded him to change his name, and within a year, his first single Move It was in the charts and the Webbs were able to move out of their council house. Much of his success in his early days was down to his work with EMI producer Norrie Paramor and his chemistry with his backing group the Drifters (who changed their name to the Shadows). During the 1960s, he appeared alongside the Shadows in a number of hit films, including The Young Ones, and Summer Holiday. Since then, he's represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest twice (coming second both times), and continued to have numerous hit singles as a solo artist - he has had more top 10 hits than any other artist, including 14 number ones. He has also starred in the musicals Time and Heathcliff. Away from showbusiness, he loves playing tennis and is a committed Christian. He was knighted for services to charity in 1995. He reunited with the Shadows for a world tour starting in 2009 to celebrate their 50th anniversary and he continues to record and perform on his own.
