22I'd love to see them say 'Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag'.
I emailed SBS about it and they said they 'had not been advised' about a new series of TGAU, but mentioned TG S13 coming on the 31st.
17I think they way they would have said 'jaaaaaaaaag' would have sounded crappy compared to the Brits. I'm personally hoping they don't ruin it.

Exactly what I was thinking
9ahh good point.

I'll be sad if there's no TGAU season 3. They really hit their stride in season 2 and I enjoyed it!

249 I'm not sure how much to read into this, posted by Steve on Twitter the other day.
"Nah, no news as yet sorry. There's no point filming this year anyways- we wouldn't make by the end of the ratings apparently."

68The Australian TV ratings season finishes at the end of November. This suggests to me that if there is another season, it won't be going to air until February 2010 at the earliest.
I don't think it means what some people think it means (i.e. it might get axed halfway through the next season). SBS - unlike commercial TV stations - doesn't have a habit of axing shows half way through a season if they don't meet whatever mythical ratings results/other KPIs expected of it ...
249 Thanks. I was wondering how your ratings seasons ran. The thing is, it seems like nothing more for this entire year wouldn't give them long to prep for a Feb '10 series either.
45Not to mention that even though it doesn't rate nearly as well as the UK version, TopGear Australia is still SBS' highest rating programme during its run.
340Seems the hosts are discussing content for an upcoming season: http://twitter.com/stevepizzati/status/4327504254
78They still haven't put up what's gonna be on after Series 13 finishes on SBS and if they still haven't sorted out anything for TGA Series 3, that's a long wait.
249 Yeah Steve has already said they won't be filming at all this year so it's definitely a wait.
68I saw that on Pizzati's Twitter too. Noice.
Bold, fearless prediction: expect TGA Series 3 to go to air around April-May 2010. Whilst I'm making crazy predictions, have had a look at the tour schedule for TG Live. Looks like there's a break from 21 February 2010 in Auckland to 18 March 2010 in Cape Town.
Given that Australia is (relatively) close to both NZ and RSA, and there's a gap of about a month there, you reckon this might be a window to film a long awaited TGA vs TGUK crossover? Or, at the very least (he says as he goes slightly off-topic), a TGUK Aussie special for Series 15?
Think about it, the boys fly from NZ to Australia, spend 3 weeks here to do an epic challenge and/or take the piss out of the Aussie boys, and then pop into Cape Town on the way home. You know it makes sense ...
45I emailed SBS only a week or two ago and they said that no decision had been made yet on another season of TGA.
249 Well, this post may be of interest as well. I'm going to feel really silly if the guy is actually in a band, because I thought (and still think) the implication was as Viper read it, but somehow I doubt it. I think he's being cagey because he has to.
0Top Gear S3 to be shown on Channel 9 next year... not SBS.. according to 2UE. Possible host - Shane Warne ..(No!!!!!!)
