The show was popular because of the chemistry of the trio. There is no denying that. However every show has the people in front of the camera being supported by the people at the back of it. Just because they're not seen doesn't mean they were not influential and the Top Gear production staff are obviously very good. Outside of the chemistry the show also did well because of the outlandish nature of their reviews, races and stunts. They needed creative writers and talented people to put those together.
I don't think Top Gear will do as well anymore but I am not sure it will fail.
