Top Gear - Series 7 (Starts Nov 13th, 2005)

There is one thing though, this series is only running for six episodes.

There will be some "Best of" episodes in the new year, with some new material in them.

A 6 episode run is essential, as the last series preety much nearly killed the team! I know many of you want longer runs, but its simply not possible in the time between these two series (6/7).

Six episodes is better than none - and if it gives the team and JC a chance to recover then all's good.

Thanks for the update.

Nice thanks for the info..
I miss Topgear.

SL65 · September 7th, 2005, 12:27 PM

Including the Best Of program, there should be another 9-episodes in this final series so 6 raises a few question marks for me images/smilies/bangin.gif

Will they still get paid the same amount?

6 Episodes? *coughs* skivers *coughs agin*

Oh what it is to have a programme makers' job images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

andyhui01 · September 7th, 2005, 1:44 PM

Its a bun fight anyway, you know that there are 115,000 people on the list for tickets, which makes the waiting list officially 20 years.

Electrastar~Indochine · September 7th, 2005, 2:56 PM

Yeah, yeah, so Matthew says at the gate. Isn't it more the case that it's the same people applying for every show so the real figure is much less?

Hey bbc.co.uk, can you tell us if Clarkson is still presenting or driving anything? I'd guess no..but I'm not a fan of Sabine... images/smilies/cry.gif

Well I am. images/smilies/w00t.gif

Is she going to be in the new season? Without revealing too much, I want to be surprised.

Announcified. It's sad that there will only be 6 episodes, but oh well, that should mean they can focus on a longer spring series.

Of the year... I hope only of the year.

Well, it could be worse...

We will get twice the Fifth Gear, though... Makes up for it a tiny bit...

Only six eps? So... Sabine wasn't so good with the oversteer after all... images/smilies/w00t.gif

Good to hear they're back! images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

So it was a choice between
1) a long series and dead hosts
2) a short series and more series to come

Good choice images/smilies/smile.gif

better that nothing
