However, since its debut, the program has drawn praise for its presentation and visual flair, which emphasized providing viewers with general entertainment, as well as criticism for the content’s controversial nature.

Top Gear’s original format was canceled by the BBC in December 2001, so Jeremy Clarkson and producer Andy Wilman got together to brainstorm ways to bring the show back on television.

In November 2008, Clarkson made a joke about lorry drivers killing prostitutes, and as a result, the BBC received more than 500 complaints.

BBC responded by claiming that it was a lighthearted rebuttal of a widespread misconception about lorry drivers and fit in with Clarkson’s Top Gear persona as expected by the audience.

On May 3, 2014, it was announced that Clarkson had received a last warning from the BBC and that, if he continued to make inappropriate remarks, he would be fired.

In March 2015, a bad incedent occured at the station. Clarkson was suspended by BBC following a fierce conflict with one of the show’s producers, Oisin Tymon. They however came to an agreement and Clarkson settled the matter with Oisin.
