What is "petrolheads"

n. (plural of petrolhead English)

Petrolheads is a BBC panel game presented by Neil Morrissey, with team captains Richard Hammond and Chris Barrie. The show pitted motoring wits against each other and included car stunts shot on location. There were two guests each episode. The show was produced by Brian Klein ( Top Gear), directed by John L Spencer and executive producers were Marie-Claire Walton and Steve Ayres. The theme music was by British composer Leigh Haggerwood. It was created and scripted by prolific author Norman Giller, with input from Top Gear writer Richard Porter and comedy scriptwriter Ged Parsons.

Despite being well received, the show was a victim of the BBC's change of programming personnel, as it was considered 'too laddish' yet some aspects of the format are used in the League of Their Own shows.
