Anorak mode on : It's not actually the first top gear, that was in 1977 , i believe that one is from 1989.

Yep I though that, wonder why google say it's the first episode? Either way it's worth it just to see Tiff in a 500bhp cossy!

Too many beards for my liking

Just watched it all

1989 and a those exec cars for £20k-£28k. Makes todays STi's at that price an absolute steal

Clarkson's hair is like an affro Like to see him get a racing helmet ocer that!

That Sierra was an animal. Tiff looked like he'd got his hands full

God, what a dull programme!

Tiff's aged quite well and Clarkson seems to have become less posh.

William Woolard, Michelle Newman, Chris Goffey, Noel Edmonds, Tony Mason and I'm sure Maggie Philbin was involved in the programme at some point as well!

Would you believe it - the drummer in Supergrass's dad is Chris Goffey!!

PS First episode in 1977 was presented by Noel Edmonds and Angela Rippon!
