This showed up on Variety today

With a rising profile among viewers and advertisers, BBC America has begun creating content specifically for U.S. audiences: The network has greenlit two new series all its own and has five more in development.
The Beeb's Stateside sister net has bought six hourlong episodes of "Hard Drive With Richard Hammond," based on the BBC's "World's Toughest Driving Tests" and starring "Top Gear" host Hammond, as well as 13 half-hours of "Would You Rather With Graham Norton," a gameshow shot in New York that pits comedians against each other. Both are working titles.
"Hard Drive" is produced by BBC Worldwide. ..
It also appears they are developing James May's Man Lab, for BBC America, but it's unclear if James is going to front this as well.
