Although I agree with the comments on the three ex top gear presenters, it might not be they're real personality's your seeing. The success of the program was down to the chemistry between the school bully, the privileged swot and the wee kid who was the butt of the "jokes". I think they were actors, albeit poor ones. I'm guilty of making the same judgements, Clarkson IS a prat.
A friend of mine took part in a TV program with a well known celebrity chef who is smiley, chatty and charming on screen, when the cameras were off he was a total c**t to all in the room. He got punched in the street in Aberdeen on a night out, I wonder why.
