Top Gear wins Lifetime Achievement Award..

More info from the Rose d'Or website.

The 2012 Honorary Rose Award was presented to cult BBC production Top Gear and accepted by the show?s inimitable host Jeremy Clarkson. The show is aired in 198 territories making it a huge international success and an inspiration to format creators around the world. After joking that "approximately 7 million cars had to be destroyed to win this Award" Clarkson said that "this is the best job in the world and I hope I can do it forever, thank you very much for this honour."


There was also a forum session with Clarkson and Wilman earlier in the day

with some interesting points made, including

JC: a lot of car critics and shows attempt to review cars but ultimately they're identical. We look at what you can DO with a car

AW: the Top Gear team is a dysfunctional happy family, the turnover is very low

JC: I don't think a lot of the territories get some of the finer bits of British humour, but they enjoy the cinematography

AW: what the three guys do is actually doable, yes you'd need money but it's all possible which adds to public appeal
