Egypt can get Top Gear at the same time as Britain, but Australia can't? What the hell is going on here?

De Nile of service?

Looking forward to the new series - somehow managed to miss the Patagonia special and didn't even catch it on iPlayer, so I'm going to have to wait until it is repeated on BBC Three.
 
Question for the US people.

My cable company (Wow) dropped BBC America from their lineup at the beginning of the year. What is a good site to watch new episodes online?
 
If it's illegal and you know, then don't mention it...

Streaming services (Netflix, etc) or different cable.

Since FinalGear has dropped the stream for obvious copyright reasons, theres nothing much you can do. (Or something-something you-know-what. Illegal I know)

Im not american I know.

Switching cable companies is out, I don't want to double my monthly payments because of one show on one channel. May have to look into Netflix.

Ed Sheeran is the first guest of the new series.....and he crashed the reasonably priced car!, made news in the celeb gossip pages....
 
Also worth pointing out that he doesn't have a drivers license....

I rememer from An Evening With TG that Ed Sheeran (Among others) would be in the RPC and that one of them had no driving licence.
 
Surprised that there wasn't anything said about the Hypercar Showdown between the LaFerrari, the 918 and the P1. I hope they're still going to do that, haven't heard much about it though since that picture of the 918 at the track was posted on Twitter.
 
Meh, don't really care much for that, they'll all say they love the La Ferrari more and praise the P1 for being pretty close and for being the prettiest and will also praise the 918's tech.
 
I'm curious about the Corvette C7 review...course it'll probably be a lot of American car jokes and calling it fat sadly... :(

Bring on the Australian trip! :D

Jeremy apparently likes the Corvette. A lot. So much so, he said it was his favourite car of 2014. And I cant blame him.

The Australian trip should be hilarious, I'm looking forward to the part where they race around the Open Cut mine. That's something I'd love to do at the Open Cut mine just up the road from where I live. ;)

Does anyone recall when Richard Hammond came to Australia early last year or late 2013? Apparently he was at an Outback Station, maybe he was there to review a car? Maybe it'll tie-in to the Australian episode in the way that the Mastretta Sportscar review did.

Well, it'd be interesting to see how a GT-R, Bentley and M6 get on in the outback. Gonna be awesome. Considering the GT-R is the only one with AWD it could be the best out of the 3. I am also looking forward to the trip where Hammond is stuck in Canada and the other two race there by plane and V8 Pickup Trucks, I remember one being a (modified?) Raptor and maybe a Silverado or Ram? New Corvette is amazing
 
I'm looking forward to the series as a whole. The Canadian mountain rescue trip looks interesting, I'm just wondering how much stick the Silverado and Raptor will get.

As for this Sunday, I'll probably skip over the SIARPC.

...and when it comes to airing the latest season six months after it's finished on the BBC, the episodes are shown out of order plus it's endlessly shuffled around the schedule so whatever "reality" or "talent" show is running at that time can be shown in the prime-time slot.

Oh, and there's half an hour of ads in each episode - often inserted carelessly in the middle of a segment.

What did they call it, TopGear 'Supersized'? Ever since Channel Nine started broadcasting TG, I've had to use the other way to watch it when it's released. Well, at least it's in HD.

I don't really like SIARPC, but watch it anyway, this week will consist of Lamborghini Hurucan track test and lap time, Ed Sheeran in the RPC and a race across St Petersburg, Hammond on bike, Clarkson on hovercraft, May in a Renault Twizzy (See pic below) and Stig on Public Transport, very similar to the race they did a while back with may in a big Mercedes across London.

Looking forward to the first episode it sounds good and I like Ed Sheeran a lot, fantastic talent, so ill watch the SIARPC bit

Also with regards to the possible Hypercar battle bit they could have in the show between the P1, LaFerrari and the 918, they do have a big feature on that in the latest TG magazine, it makes on the front page...
 
This new series sounds like the perfect tester for my first home experience of HD TV.
What, why are you laughing? Of course I only got it today...

I know, but it wasn't done by TGUK themselves (Hammond, Clarkson & May), it was done by a few reviewers for TG Magazine. Not the same if you ask me. And they didn't lap them around the track, as far as I know.

I'll still hold onto hope as I want to see the P1 crush the other two.
 
Oh man, Top Gear choose the most expensive network here in the middle east :banghead:

:lol: Nah I wish, BBC is free, they choose a subscription based network.
 
I can't wait to watch the new Top Gear Series (or season). Sadly however i don't know the channels were they will air it if there's even a one where i live.
 
Good Morning from Australia, I've been suckered in and I'm watching it Express from the UK, the earliest I've woken up in weeks.
 
What does Texas have to do with anything?
