Just one thing I want to add this thread and I already apologize if I'm rude, but one thing is pissing me off BIG TIME:
Why the f*** can't I get a TG subscription over here in Switzerland? Below is a little email conversation I already had last year and STILL I can't get it over here
I know that CH is not in the EU but neither is Norway and they can order the thing.

Hi Christian
Sorry about not being able to do the Top Gear magazine, however a UK store called WH Smith have several stores in Europe, perhaps there might be one in Switzerland that would sell the magazine.
The EU thing is one of these legal problems to do with copyright and stuff, seems daft I know but we would rather be selling stuff to you than not, maybe one of these days it will get sorted.
Best regards
Steve

Hi Steve,
My inital request to the BBC shop was primarily for a subscription to the Top Gear magazine. The DVDs would have been a nice to have, since they have a package of the "best of" of season 1 and 2 with the "Crap Cars" book.
Alas, as only the DVDs are available, I'm not going to order them alone (would've been a nice add-on to the subscription).
Nevertheless, thanks a lot for your elaborate answer!
Best regards,
Christian
PS: I find it a bit weird that the "EU" list of countries on the bbcshop website names several countries not in the EU like Norway
