I have been a fan of Top Gear for quite a while now. I find it a very entertaining program.
It is usually on SBS around 7:30pm Monday or Tuesdays. However It is also on Foxtel on BBC World.
Ususally the same time as it is on SBS.
The reason for my uncertanty is... I do not watch them on those channels.
I download each episode and watch it that way.

But if you want to be more up to date with the current shows, then this website will give you all the info you need.
The downloads section has plenty of the episodes.

Final Gear

That site also has plenty of information on another program very similar to Top Gear aswell.
It is called Fifth Gear. You can find plenty of info and episode for that too.

Yeah Top Gear is well worth watching.
SBS have dropped it (for now) and replaced it with new Mythbusters episodes.

I did download an old Top Gear episode recently and was really disappointed with the picture quality.
Someone has encoded a 1 hr show into a 195 MB file!
The result is heavy pixellation.

Compare it with a typical (42 min) episode of a US show encoded to approx. 350 MB.

How have you found the episodes you've watched wrxboy?

there was a "Winter Olympics" top gear special on fox about 3 weeks ago.


Best episode of Top Gear. Ever.


PS the shows that were on SBS until last month where over 12 months old, better late then never, but where is the next series?
