See Radio Rewind for a 1964-5 listing including Top Gear - and the name preceded the use of gear to descibe drugs or drug paraphernalia - Peeping Tom 24.6.07

This is not correct; the Beatles were on Top Gear numerous times in the early sixties.

Top Gear didn't start until 1967, certainly not the 'early sixties'. --duncan 06:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Can the article say something about the origin of the name? If I'm not mistaken "top gear" is British slang for really good marijuana.

This article needs to be split to also take into account the Top Gear radio show that was a spin off of the car magazine programme which was on BBC Radio Five Live in the early 1990s. --Wrh1973 12:16, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
