Every week, "TV Week" magazine editor Pete Timbs appears on the "Kyle and Jackie O Show" on 2dayFM (Sydney) giving news about everything happening in the world of television including ratings, new shows, and canned shows.
On 30/11/2010, Pete Timbs reported that Top Gear Australia will not be returning in 2011 for a regular series, but rather for the occasional special. The reason for this is that ratings proved that no one can replace the UK TG team, and this was a very expensive show for Channel 9 to produce with little ratings on the return.
So this was a short-lived series, much like the previous attempts by SBS. Kind of unfortunate really, because it was potentially a good show.
