As I said earlier they need to relax but

A show about cars is not crap.

mmmmm thats your opinion, my opinion is 5th gear is CRAP!!!!! thats a car show.......and i will not watch it, topgear wasn't as bad as 5th gear i dont think but they still have a way to go...i think the next couple of episodes will possibly make or brake them.

I had also heard that the shows were going to be acknowledged by the other shows..for example T/G uk will make jabs etc at T/G australia and vis versa, but i thought to do this both shows would have to be shown in the said countrys otherwise it would be waisted......If this is the case then its a worry because at the moment T/G australia if shown in the UK would FLOP i think

Hey does anyone know when TGUK is coming back on here??

Poll: Is Top Gear Australia in with the sharks already? - Cars
Found another review

Have to agree with the last line of the review - "By aping the original turn-for-turn, however, they've invited a head-to-head comparison that they can't hope to win."

i am under the impression that TGUK wil return in the "off" season when TGA has run it's course for the year. some on this thread will argue that TGA is currently in the "off" season, but i reckon they gave it a good go and yes Cox needs to settle a bit and stop trying so hard. it'd be nice if he directed most of his dialogue towards the camera and us, the viewers.
i would suspect that TGUK will not denegrate the aussie show by showing the bad bits, let's face it, they own the aussie show as well. i'd say they will probably get the most mileage from the stunts and test TGA does. they will have a good laugh at our off beat sense of humour shown in the type of idiotic and dangerous things the three aussie get up to.

I wonder if TGA will also be shown in the UK during the offseason. Perhaps the master plan to have Top Gear all year round all over the world!!!!!

<insert evil laugh here>

The moke/shark stunt seemed to be blatantly catering for crocodile hunter loving overseas audiences to me.

Jeremy, James and Richard were all well known BEFORE TGUK started.
Who are these guys, and WTF is with that moustache?????
I would have thought that there would have been plenty of experienced talent in driving, industry knowledge and presenting rather than these guys????
Although the format was intended to be identical to TGUK, its just too much of a ripoff for me fronted by nobodies. FFS, even introducing "The Stig" we got the "Some say he's......"!!
Nothing really unique to it apart from the fact they having a Holden v Ford week next week.
I'll give it another week or so and if I cant get my head around it, best dust off some of my TG DVD's!!
