Don't they usually film on Wednesday? Wouldn't that mean the new season or the summer special could be airing on June 10th? Sorry if it's a repost.

Thanks.

Summer special maybe, but filming and editing an entire series/season takes 4-5 months...

October has been kicked around

Well that would be a cool birthday present.

You'll need to be free to take part in filming on Wednesday June 6.

EDIT: This could actually mean that they will feature cars. Amazing!
EDIT2: Wild guess: the summer special is about the polar race.

They would have already filmed the summer special by now, I think. Given the time it takes to do all the editing.

Bet you all that the alternative will be the Vauxhall VXR8.

well Jeremy just wrote about how much he he thought companies responsible for camping equipment purposefully made all their products as useless as possible, as well he mentioned it was -17 or something, so i would assume the winter thing should be well in the can by now, just editing and voice overs i would think

The price range does fit the bill

TG should be back, as a series of shows, in october. its printed at the bottom of both clarksons and mays pages in Junes TG mag, so there must be some truth to it.

the final episode of The Sopranos and a Top Gear special on the same day? now that's a date to look forward to images/smilies/thumbup.gif

They film the studio bit on the wednesday before it is shown i think (?). but surely, if they need a person to review the cars etc. with them, that would be a segment pre-recorded, which then goes through months of editing etc. before getting inserted. not simply an appearance in the hangar for the studio bit.

just a thought...

Do they still have access to the Dunsfold hangar?? I thought the developers had the land now??

Just to confirm:

"If you'd like to take part in the next series of Top Gear"

No mention of summer special images/smilies/smile.gif

Also, applausestore would have mentioned something about this on their site, if it was suppost to be a full 2pm - 7pm filming with an audience

I wish! I doubt it would be, since it's not being offered over there, like the R8/VXR8.

October sounds good.
Summer special sounds good.

Bring it on baby!
