The SBS site (http://www21.sbs.com.au/topgear/) confirms the date (Mon 29th Sep), plus gives the time: 7:30pm (presumably AEST). That'd be Mon 9:30AM UTC / 10:30AM BST.

Additional details include that it's an 8 ep series, and there is "The Stig" - an Aussie one I guess?

I'm looking forward to seeing what they can do, I'm hopeful of it being a great show and it is guaranteed of being better than the other recent Australian car shows.

However I'm a bit worried about how close it is from them wanting a studio audience to the air date, it sounds as if the first episode filmed will be going to air as the first episode as opposed to how NBC have done a pilot and then gone back and worked on the problems.

I'd assume the UK version will be off air for the 8 weeks, with it alternating between an old series, a new one and the Australian one (which I'm sure will be repeated frequently). Basically from now on 7:30pm Monday will be Top Gear of some variety nearly all year round.

I'm hoping someone here does a rip...

I'd do it myself, but I don't get SBS digital reception here at my place (analogue reception only, and my tuner card is digital only) images/smilies/sad.gif

I fucked up and added 10 hours instead of subtracting 10 hours (due to the way my script is written). Stupid timezones.

That might be a good thing... focus groups and all that can kill creativity.

I REALLY want this to be good. I REALLY do!
