Top Gear is Dr Who

I think Top Gear and Dr. Who are the same show. Look at the similarities:
  • The Stig = The Doctor, who dies and regenerates in slightly different forms and is played by different actors. First black, then white. What colour Stig next? The Stig is not human and can drive any time machine (er, car) perfectly. Ever notice how he is always discussed formally as "The Doctor" or "The Stig", never some other nomenclature?
  • Jerremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond are The Assistants, each echoing a portion of the Doctor's personality.
  • The Stopwatch = The Sonic Screwdriver, part of the cast almost.
  • The Producers = Terry Nation et. al. who put the characters in strange challenges each episode.
  • The Guests = Guest stars who drop into the series to add to the ratings.
  • The company? The BBC.
Can you spot more equivalences?
