Hi All,
Over here in Australia Top Gear first aired on SBS a public broadcasting network that shows a lot of BBC uk tv shows and documentaries. It was very very popular on SBS - no adds and full unedited episodes. Since it was so popular a commercial tv network - with much more money - snapped up Top Gear. Since it has been on channel 9 it is just totally ruined and going downhill fast. It is on very late at night, starting 930 or later and has about 50 hours of adverts per episode shown. When it was on SBS it was also on at a reasonable time and non-car minded people were getting into it and started to watch it. Now that it is on so late, this has stopped and so has the "new" followers.
I will let other members comment about this also, but I believe that Andy Wilman needs to know. You just need to check the Top Gear Australia facebook page and the like to see peoples discust in this.
