Britain’s Worst Driver, a TV series created and hosted by ex-Top Gear host Quentin Willson, was first broadcast on Five in the United Kingdom. In 30-minute episodes, the worst drivers chosen by viewers “earned back” their driving licences by performing various driving challenges. The driver who performed the worst was awarded Britain’s Worst Driver. The success of the series led to localized versions of the show, and creation of the Worst Driver television franchise. The 18th and final episode was aired in December 2003.
