No on demand this year?

upyourego · February 1st, 2007, 09:59 AM

I seem to remember last series the BBC made each episode of Top Gear available on demand through the BBC TWO website as soon as the episode had finished (allthough I might be wrong).

This year they seem to be just putting highlights up. They've got about five clips from the episode on the BBC TWO Top Gear page but no full episode.

I wonder if they'll do what they did with Extras - put the full episode up a week after it's aired on TV - so Episode one will go up when Episode two has aired?

What's also interesting is the fact that the BBC TWO website has about five clips but the BBC Top Gear site only has one.

Your the one who works for the BBC, you must have contacts. images/smilies/tongue.gif

I could probably find out if I had the time to hunt through the internal contact system but thought it would be more fun to start a discussion.

Anyway I'm sure there are people here that work on the actual BBC Top Gear or BBC TWO website.

Do you know any of the BBC Radio 1 DJ's?? Moyles etc??

Not personally no. I've interviewed Edith Bowman before but thats about it. I work at the lowest rung of the BBC ladder - for a local service.

Did anyone actually watch Top Gear on the BBC TWO site last year? The clips can be a fun distraction on a rainy lunchbreak sometimes.

Cool. Edith's funny.
