Man ... I would love to see Top Gear India ... there is no way that would not be amusing.

They should have a middle-eastern version of Top Gear -- imagine how much powersliding the presenters can pull off with a Nissan Sentra or something like that.

Top Gear China would be interesting -- a show consists of nothing but people riding around in scooters and Chinese-made VWs crashing into each other. A how-hard-could-it-be Top Gear challenge would be something like crashing a Chinese-made SUV into a wall... And surviving the crash. XD

In all seriousness, I can't see why having a Russian Top Gear is such a bad idea. If they want it, let them have it. It's not like they're showing the Russian version in the States or UK. They have their own language and motoring culture and I don't think there's a need for them to entertain us outside Russia as well, assuming of course if we can understand the language and the jokes.

I certainly wouldn't worry about the Top Gear UK's image being dragged down as well -- there're more than enough viewers to secure TG's existence on the telly. Plus, if I watch any other kinds of variations of Top Gear, like TGA or TGAmerica, why would I think any less of the original UK version?

Speaking of which, Top Gear Canada anyone? Just one hour of the presenters driving around in pick-up trucks towing logs around, while being drunk behind the wheel... Oh God, the horror. Well, at least ice-hockey with cars will be a regular segment.

Absolutely my thoughts. In fact, so much what I was coming on here to write that I'm a little spooked.
Have you been reading my mind ? images/smilies/blink.gif

I've been known to having the ability to read minds. ; ) I know that you probably drive a Ford Mondeo and that you live in London.

Ahem.

for me as a russian the idea of tg-russia is really cool

but no one ever compares to JC

but i still hope we're gonna see all those s65s and maybachs with cayenne turbos (these cars are really common in moscow) racing a bear in syberia or smthng)

Wow how did you do that? images/smilies/tongue.gif

matt2000 · October 15th, 2008, 1:31 PM

I'm not really bothered about the show itself, but the way it will be associated with the UK version, with pointless challenges against each other (like the Dmotor challenge, which I thought was rubbish). I want all the shows to stay as far apart as possible so UK TG stays the same.

Maybe Dave could get the UKTG boys to do the dubbing lol.

NooDle · October 15th, 2008, 3:43 PM

am I alone in thinking the 'local' Stigs should have slightly different names?

Like Stiggo or Stigsy for Australia, or Stigovich for Russia

Can't think of a good US one though images/smilies/think.gif

but I'm open to suggestions!

Because it will be epic fail. If not, at least everyone will be prepared to the worst. Talking about the cinematics of the future adaptation. The production company, mentioned in the press-release with its cooking programme with a budget of 3 roubles (it's on YouTube by the way). I can't even imagine how this guys are gonna shoot a car programme of a such high cinematic level. And million other aspects - scripting, music... Real well-paid pros should be involved. To make a proper TG-style season, they should sell their TV-centre. And I'm not even talking about helicopters and tanks in the frame.
