[stiggie]

From TV Tonight-

Nine?s version of Top Gear Australia will air this month.

Steve Pizzati, who appeared in the series for SBS, is the sole returning host, now joined by Shane Jacobson (Kenny) and Ewen Page, editor of Top Gear Australia magazine.

The series is again produced by Freehand Australia.

It begins with a 90 minute special, ?The Ashes Special,? in which the boys meet the UK host, and is followed by the season premiere of Survivor: Nicaragua.

The Top Gear Australia team, Shane Jacobson, Steve Pizzati and Ewen Page, travel to the UK to meet the original Top Gear hosts for more motoring and mucking about in Top Gear style. It will see the boys travel through the UK, New Zealand and Australia as they get up to their usual antics. Its Australia v England in our Top Gear Ashes Special, will our Aussie boys head back down under with their tails between their legs?

It airs 7:30pm Tuesday September 28th.

By the way, for members who aren't from Australia or Britain, the "Ashes" is a series of cricket test matches that has been regularly played between the English and Australian national teams since 1882. The term has come to be used for other competitions between Australia and the UK, such as rugby league tests.

Over one and a half thousand views and not one response.

Either nobody is looking forward to watching this new series and it is going to go down in flames, or there is a search engine indexing spider out there harbouring an unhealthy obsession with FinalGear.

 

[Richmondgal]

I'll respond.

Since I work on Tuesday, I'll have to download it when I get back and see how it goes. Good combo I must say, TG and Survivor. I just hope this trio are down to earth.

 

[stiggie]

You don't have a PVR, DVD-R or VCR Richmondgal?

 

[Flibble]

In summary Yay, boo, oh no are they still persisting with that , who, what, Channel 9, baited breath.

Cheers for the heads up 11 days, 18 hours, 46 minutes.

 

[stiggie]

Not quite. The counter on the main page is 20 hours out. Viper already knows about it and is planning to fix it.

 

[Richmondgal]

You don't have a PVR, DVD-R or VCR Richmondgal?

Oh yeah, but I'd rather just get it from the computer.

 

[stiggie]

Fair enough.

I wonder if the Ashes episode will also be shown in Britain as part of their next series.

Like a different version D Motor Style? I would like that too.

 

[stiggie]

Yeah, something like what they did with D-Motor was what I had in mind.

 

[JCE]

I'll have to download it since I do not live down under. I'm only slightly looking forward to it since my favorite host is not on it now. I'll pass judgement once I see a few eps.

 

[stiggie]

Which one was your favourite host?

 

[Lucky]

Hoping Season 3 will shine a bit, at least. Hope they don't try n copy the personalities of jezza, hamster and slow

 

[melbournian]

woohoo! Tuesday night is Top Gear night - bunch of uni mates come over and we try and study but usually end up too distracted by top gear looking forward to it.

 

[calvinhobbes]

TG Australia without Warren Brown... I'm not sure, but maybe it'll be good, fingers crossed!

 

[tone76]

Which one was your favourite host?

Warren?

I know he was my favourite, with Steve Pizzati a close second. Now, Steve is my favourite by default (unless Ewan or Shane put up a VERY convincing argument otherwise).

 

[FruityLexia]

I'm hoping it's good, I reckon Season 2 (SBS) was finally starting to get it right.

Then Channel 9 brought out the coat-hanger.

 

[Richmondgal]

Apparently, from this Article, it's more about the Aussies than the competition between the TG3.

 

[stiggie]

Yeah, they did some other stuff while they were in the UK to warm up before the Ashes. Do NOT miss the bit in the safari park!!!

Rhino+Peel=This can only go well...
