It's what happens when a light source is blinking at a different refresh rate than that of the cameras. The LED is like 60hz but the camera records at 1/50th shutter speed etc (they don't line up). Like what happens to you film an old CRT monitor and it looks all wavy on film.

Shooting at 1/50th speed on video cameras is the industry norm if you're shooting at 24frames a second. Thats why Top Gear can't edit it out because its either they change their frame rate (which theyre not going to do) or somehow change the controller for the LEDs (too tedious).
