TG’s won a Guinness World Record!
"Dedication, oh oh, dedication, oh oh, dedication, that's what you need. If you want to be a record breaker..."
That's what we've been singing all morning in the office. Largely because Top Gear has just been crowned the world's most widely watched factual TV programme... in the world!
The 2013 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records has certified that Jezza, Hamster, and Captain Slow have been watched by audiences in 212 territories around the world from Ghana to Guatemala, Moldova to Myanmar.
As he accepted the Guinness World Records 2013 book on behalf of the show, Jeremy Clarkson said: "I am very proud to be involved in such a factual programme."
