Seeing you mention 'Richard Hammond' and 'arrogance' (not in the same sentence or paragraph, I hasten to add!), one example of arrogance has to be Jeremy Clarkson. When I worked at the airport, he was particularly arsey with anybody who dealt with him, he really thought he was it. One time he got spectacularly shot down in flames, however, was when he was having a spat about his seat on the aircraft with one of the check-in staff. He requested to speak to a supervisor, who duly came down to deal with him. He came out with the old chestnut 'do you know who I am?' 'No' came the supervisor's reply (she did really!) Cue muffled sniggering from staff and other surrounding passengers. Priceless! Also, a friend of mine ran a car detailing company in Oxfordshire. Clarkson was one of his regular customers, and my pal said he was a particularly unpleasant individual at times.
