Top Gear Made For 9 Year Old In You
Anyone who has watched even a single episode of Top Gear, the British automotive themed TV show, will tell you that the it is immature and silly. If that same person happens to be a Top Gear fan then he or she might admit the same fact, but they will also stress on the part about how awesome the show is.
That's because, technically, these fans (count me in) are nine year olds. That is to say, they have a nine year old in them. Does not make sense? Let me elaborate.
All those silly games, crash crashes, deliberate goofiness exhibited by the three hosts, constant fighting and bickering amongst each other and for that matter everything in that show is immature by design.

Speaking to the Telegraph just days ahead of the start of Season 21 of the show, Andy Wilman executive producer of Top Gear said that the script was always written to appeal to a 9 year old within you.
I think I already have my answer as to why this is done. But in case you still want to know, here's why.
"If you're actually nine, you need something to watch that isn't a computer screen," Telegraph quotes Wilman as saying. "And if you're 29, 39 or 59, part of your brain will most likely still have a mental age of nine, and that part struggles to get nourishment.
"Modern life for adults is, after all, bloody hard. The workplace is not freer, but more regimented by management systems and nonsense enforced by going on "courses".
"Email hasn't decreased the workload but in fact piled it on.
"The demand to be accountable and produce results hangs heavy over every worker, and by the weekend they need a release valve.
"That's where we come in - an hour a week where three badly dressed middle-aged men bicker, fall over and catch fire.
"An hour a week where absolutely nothing is achieved, but the path to nine-year-old escapism is briefly lit up.
"This is an important service we provide, and therefore essential that being nine should remain a massive remit of our films."
So the next time you criticise someone for watching Top Gear remember that you are just getting old!!
