Inside the UK? Possibly the same music.

Outside the UK? Different music for sure.

So that means I can download series 1 with actual good music behind it. Providing Viper is correct.

Most likely, they'll be butchered beyond recognition and the entire thing will go to crap because none the music fits or makes sense within the context.
Don't they already change the music for Top Gear Extra or whatever it is called?

Top Gear will NEVER appear on iTunes - mainly because of the music - it's the same reason full series DVDs aren't made available.

The rights deal the BBC has for music (in the UK) basically covers the broadcast of shows on their main networks and repeats online for seven days after broadcast.

If they ARE made available through iTunes it will be with different music or heavily cut.

We might see special episodes or best of's made available though.

Oh, so their music rights don't apply to the Internet even if it was UK only?

Then how are these other shows being made available? No/different/original music?

The BBC music rights cover them for first and repeat broadcasts on any BBC network and online time-limited catch-up repeats.

It basically only allows for airing on BBC Public Service networks. The other shows must use more generic music or tracks that are cheaper to re-licence than Top Gear uses. Or an original score made for the show.

Isn't BBC America owned by Discovery?

Did the music ever fit the context in the British version?

lol, umm no. They're owned by the BBC, hence BBC America.

They do work together though:

To a point, yeah, especially when they reference a particular song and then it plays.

Ah, I had thought that discovery just licensed the name and shows.

I guess I am just unobservant as I can't recall anytime they did that. Though I don't see why they don't just relicense the music, they aren't playing entire songs, the cost can't be too prohibitive.
