ChadW Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Sure Top Gear started before that year, then again being originally a Pebble Mill production it could have been on in the midlands beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 [ QUOTE ] Clarkson definately wasn't with it from the outset.... [/ QUOTE ] Correct. Noel Edmonds and Angela Rippon were the original presenters. William Woollard and Chris Goffey then took over before Tony Mason arrived on the scene. The first female presenter for Michelle Newman.
