June 17, 201016 yr way it stands atm, Top Gear should be back the 27th...but they haven't announced past that...i'm pumped to have it back 'round the same time as Futurama...full of win...
June 17, 201016 yr In the meantime, these seem strangely familiar ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LO5j3epzeZs&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMJ9vGBavxE&feature=player_embedded
June 28, 201016 yr assuming you've all seen it by now... thought the volcano action'd be great as a supplement to the polar special... the reliant would've been fine if the steering wheel was on the correct side haha... definitely excited about the new reasonably priced car idea, but not the car itself... Bill Bailey's always a welcome addition & I 3>'d the Human League reference:)...
June 28, 201016 yr Yep, watched it last night. The Reliant segment was definitely a winner. Loved the huge map.
June 28, 201016 yr Cinematography in the Bentley segment was epic. Reliant Robin segment was prime grade A "cocking about" In fact the whole episode was
June 29, 201016 yr Author While Fifth Gear has been more informative and varied with a focus on "reviewing" cars, Top Gear is my favorite specifically because they're cocking about. My wive loves Top Gear even.
August 3, 201015 yr Author So this "season" in only 6 episodes?! Yeesh. I guess they're really going to go out with a whimper than a bang. Next year will be 5 episodes, 4 episodes the next year after that, until there are none.
August 3, 201015 yr 6 is the classic length of a series of a UK TV programme. I haven't yet seen all of this series of Top Gear, but if a 6 episode run means that they avoid descending into the gobshite bullshit overscripted overinflated farce of recent past, then good.
August 3, 201015 yr I'm with Duggeh on the 6 episodes per series e.g. Fawlty Towers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Twelve episodes were produced (two series each of six episodes). Father Ted - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The first series comprised 6 episodes The IT Crowd - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and has run for four series of 6 episodes I heard it put down to the fact that the UK shows typically have the original author(s) as writer(s), whereas US shows employ teams of writers, with the end goal being syndication for multiple 13 episode series ....
August 4, 201015 yr Classic, to wit, "traditional". Since 1998 or 1999, the shift was to 8 epsiodes. Now there has been a shift to 10, 11, or 12. Depends on the show. Still uncommon to see a series length over 8 unless it's a flagship show. Each series of Red Dwarf was 6 eps, except 8. (And Back To Earth, which was piss). Thats 6 from 1987 to 1997 IIRC. And 8 for 1997-1999. If they were to another one now, no way it'd be more than 8. Edited August 4, 201015 yr by Duggeh
August 23, 201015 yr Perhaps... Identity of the Stig revealed... again [spoiler alert, maybe] — Autoblog
September 11, 201015 yr Rumors abound that Sabine Schmitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia may be the stigette. Some say that some people are merely cashing in All we know is that she's called the Stigette..
October 3, 201015 yr good lord, the episode with the bmw x8 was epic. I can't believe people spend that much $$$ on that POS.
October 25, 201015 yr Top Gear guys were on 60 Minutes tonight...they were pretty good, but it was mainly clips from the show...
October 25, 201015 yr Top Gear guys were on 60 Minutes tonight...they were pretty good, but it was mainly clips from the show... Still pretty entertaining.
October 26, 201015 yr saw the promo for "Top Gear"...was hoping they'd call it Top Gear America or uh...anything else...it looks really lame...i'm not looking forward to having to explain that it isn't the real show...will probably have to start referring to the original as British Top Gear...blah...shouldn't be so pessimistic...but the promo's pretty bad...
November 3, 201015 yr James May's Man Lab Truly shameful. It's James May rattling on for an hour about useless nonsense with no other presenters to stop him, or an editor to make him cut it. Either the gayest episode of Home Improvement ever, or it's that one episode where Mr Rogers went insane.
