In 1997 she joined the BBC's flagship motoring show Top Gear. Arriving in the male-dominated presenting line-up she immediately demonstrated that she is both a talented presenter and driver and able to match the best efforts of any of the "boys". After the BBC cancelled the original Top Gear, Butler-Henderson, along with co-presenters Quentin Willson and Tiff Needell, moved to Channel 5 in 2002 to continue their work on a show now called Fifth Gear.
