Default Top Gear back 16th July

Not sure if it's been mentioned, I have a feeling this thread will get locked, but TG is back 16th July, confirmed by the RadioTimes:
http://www.radiotimes.com/ListingsSe...og_details.jsp

No details as to the content yet though. Sorry.

I PM'ed Viper earlier today informing him that he should edit the countdown on the main site as RadioTimes has confirmed the return date for us.

So the break is one week longer images/smilies/wallbash.gif

no way - it's like an omen - anyone who gets near that big 10k seems to just disappear from this site. I thought Josty was gonna be the first, then poof he was gone, then it would be Ren and poof again. Scary stuff! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Why one week longer? The final of the WC was always going to be on the 9 at 8.00, there is no way they would air Top Gear against such a competion images/smilies/rolleyes.gif
They could have aired something at the 2nd though, since there was nothing special one, apart from the F1.

Its probably a big environmentalist plot. The BBC are as an organisation rather 'pink' in their political outlook IMHO.
