Good question.... I am a big fan of both, even though they are very different. Top Gear is probably more of a real car show, with automobil tests etc, while Cartalk is funnier....

But sorry for saying that I don't know them either.
It is possible that these celebrities or semi-celebrtities are only living in your own world singapore321?

Brian Connely - A famous british comedian...his most famous quote probably being "Its a puppet!"
SIR David Jason - Stared in Only fools and horses, Frost and many other series. Only fools and Horses is a classic that even my cousin in Toronto knows about.
James May - Top Gear presenter...I could possibly understand a few not knowing who he is.
Jeremy Clarkson - Also a Top Gear presenter, he writes for the motoring section of the Sunday Times, has had a successful Journalism/Presenter Career.

Do you really know more than a handful of the 'celebs' mentioned here. Living in the UK until 6 months ago I certainly don't! In fact I can echo the thoughts in the following post:

I doubt that many Germans know any of these so called celebrities.
Top Gear, who cares about it ?
Famous comedian ??? Never heard of him and his famous: "Its a puppet."
Fools and horses, must be appealing for the British, but not for me.

on those particular names. As Paul Harvey says (ok, I guess he's the next who-is-he name), "it is not one world."

That means IMO that these so called celebrities Singapore321 was mentioning are not so famous that as a result it is inevitable to know them. Apparently I am not the only one who doesn't know them...
So Singapore321 there's nothing to resent.
But of course I do respect if you view them as celebrities!

Don't worry, SIN 
this thread exists so that someone can say: "saw X"
only for the rabble to shout: "X isn't a celebrity"
Now, if you'd spotted the vice-president Paderborn city council .... ^ ^ ^ ^
