Default Top Gear Season 10 To Have 10 Episodes!

http://www.phyrefile.com/pic/2007/09/13/jamesmaysecondlifesmall.jpg

James was in Second Life earlier today as a part of a promotion for Sky News. While there, he answered some questions, including one asking how many episodes would be in the upcoming season. His response? Ten!

There's a streaming video replay available on Sky News' website, as well as some screenshots on our forums.

I have a dreadful feeling, their new idea is to make just one season per year...

Was I the only one that listened to the entire thing? He mentioned the helmet, and said Richard liked it very much and has it on a shelf in his house, and that he's afraid to use it too much because he's afraid it will get scuffed.

I hope so. But as for the one season per year thing.. If I remember correctly, there was a lot of unaired things that were intended for season 9. I would imagine that season 10 would include those plus some new things made for season 10. Let's all hope that its more then one season per year. It's been to long, and I've watched all my Top Gear downloads more times then I can count.

And to powerof1000, it was season 6 that had more then 10 episodes, 7 had only 6 that were part of the season.

should do, their reasoning behind the lack of them in the last series was due to time. only haveing 6 shows due to hammonds recovery period meant they decided to show all the stuff that cost big bucks to make rather than the cheaper car reviews.

i can see the reasoning really, that period really wasnt all that and a bag of chips as far as new cars were concerned.

plus they knew there'd be a mass of people watching the 1st show for richards return. the only way to retain that audience would then be to show entertainment rather than cars.

im not too familiar with how the beeb funds it shows, but i wouldnt be suprised if highly popular shows get bigger budgets. you can almost see series 9 as a necessary evil as a means to securing more funds and expensive/exclusive car tests.
