just got this from the BBC press office

Top Gear Ep 1/10
Unplaced
Day and time to be confirmed BBC TWO
www.bbc.co.uk/topgear



Top Gear revs back into action for a new series. In the opening episode, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May revisit their attempt to build amphibious cars and face up to one of their biggest – and choppiest – challenges to date.



The Audi R8 attacks the Top Gear track and Dame Helen Mirren is the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car.

29/9/07 - UPDATED LISTING:

Quote:
In the first of a new series Jeremy, Richard and James drive three lightweight supercars across Europe in search of the best roads. Plus Jeremy finds out what happens when you put a Bentley engine into a VW Golf, and Dame Helen Mirren is the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car.

Oh man, I can't wait to see how this challenge goes.

Jeremy's will have POOWWEERR.
Richards will be simple.
James' will not show because he will still be working on it.

I hope there are some other cars in this episode, although the amphibious car challenge should be entertaining.

I can't help but wonder...why are they doing the amphibious car challenge again? I hope this season isn't as light on one-person-in-one-car reviews as the last one. I don't mind the occasional challenge, but they eat up so much time that if they aren't good, they can really drag down a show.

The Audi will be massively fast, but I still won't like it.

Me either. To be honest at this point I'm watching simply because I enjoy the cast interaction, which I guess is a plus to the TV show's credit as I'm still watching. I've found my self more and more excited by Fifth Gear in terms of actual Car information.

They're crossing the whole English channel. Totally worth being up the same premise.
