Clarkson is most associated with the British motoring programme Top Gear. His current co-presenters are James May and Richard Hammond. It is now the most-watched TV show on BBC Two and is also shown in over 100 countries around the world. It won an International Emmy in 2005, for the best non-scripted entertainment show that was not broadcast in the United States. Clarkson said: "I didn't attend the awards ceremony because I didn't know that we had won, and I only found out after a 4am text message, whilst I was busy writing the script for the next show....". It then also received a National Television Award for best Factual Programme in 2006 and 2007, defeating the likes of Planet Earth and Bad Lad's Army.
Clarkson has periodically released motoring-based videos, such as "Clarkson - Unleashed on Cars". Over the years, his videos have shown him driving many exotic cars, including a Ford GT40 which had been specially adapted to accommodate taller drivers; Clarkson is 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m). He is also known for destroying his most hated cars in various ways, including catapulting a Nissan Sunny using a trebuchet, and dropping a Porsche 911 onto a caravan (after plunging a piano onto the bonnet and dousing it in hydrochloric acid, amongst other things). He has also presented other motoring-related series such as Star Cars, Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld, and Jeremy Clarkson's Car Years. [wiki]
