What matters is that it's a wonderfully politically incorrect show featuring cars & it sticks one in the eye of every do-gooder who would have us hugging the nearest tree for the rest of our lives.

Top Gear is shown on BBC World (one of their most popular programmes) and so generates advertisement revenue, and the Top Gear magazine is one of the most popular car magazines going- in fact a brief glance at the BBC annual report shows that it shifts 175,000 copies a month- even if you take an annual subsciber's rate of £35 per annum, this amounts to £6.1m of revenue, of which I would guess at least £1m is clear profit for the BBC (a VERY conservative estimate).
As with many programmes the anti-license fee brigade complain about, Top Gear generates significant income for the BBC and you the license fee payer.
In short, if it wasn't for the worldwide popularity of JC & co. we could be paying even more for our TV Licences.
