This is such great news. I jsut hope they don't edit the episodes too much.
Dammit! I'm leaving for a trip to Seattle the night of the 20th, so I'll miss the first showing. I've already seen the eps, but still...
leave your tivo/satellite/cable box on BBCA. That data gets recorded.
Judging from what I saw on the Discovery Channel "Top Gear" marathon that was aired several years ago, then we can expect some editing and some changes to the original music. I will be surprised if there are no changes at all.It is operated by Discovery Communications (the same people that do Discovery Channel).
They should probably get rid of the Star in Liana segment, except when someone super duper famous is on. It sometimes really drags the show down.

Cue the old chestnut "what about the advertisers who would otherwise book time on the channel"... a dull line of discourse but I can hardly see Ford rushing to give BBCA cash, taking into the account the review of (amongst others) the F150 pickup.
Not to mention the lashing Chrysler, Dodge, Chevrolet, etc etc have all had on the series.
On the other hand, they might all just say, "You know, that Clarkson guy is right. Our cars are a steaming pile of poo and we should do something about it".

One thing you guys that say "the car companies won't advertise with them, therefor they can't get funding and are screwed" don't realize is that people that like cars also like lots of other things. The demographic is usually male, and more than likely under 30, sell us on anything from Razors to Cell phones and TVs.
If TG in the US could get anywhere near the audience it should get, no channel would need the auto manufacturers to sponsor them.
"You guys"? What, me? I don't think this to be the case. It's just something that is continually rolled out as a line of (very dull) argument. I'm kind of saying that it would be nice if instead of withholding sponsorship, 'certain' car companies would conspire to make something worth driving.
