What happens

Top Trumps is a 10-part British television series based on the card game of the same name. It aired on Channel 5 in 2008. It was produced by Lion Television and presented by Robert Llewellyn and Ashley Hames. The show is a competition between the two presenters. Each chooses one type of the machines presented and found out facts about it. At the end of the show, each presenter chose two Trump factors to use in which they think their chosen machine will be best. A fifth trump factor gets randomly chosen. The winner is the one with most Trump factors. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
