[mtechnik]

EDIT!: Vid now online-> http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.ph...sh_topgear.wmv

Was it already broadcast over in the States.?

I saw the episode last night and at the end Richard went in depth about the accident as well as footage. In car as well of the roll over!!!. =Horrific.

There was a YouTube vid posted but the BBC already made sure it was removed.

Your cable company doesn't carry BBC America?

but I thought that Discovery aired it... I'm tired

[MikeE30325i]

i only see them on Youtube, i dont know what channel they are on.

[backtrail69]

I know they used to air BS reruns of the UK version of TG on Discovery... I only have basic cable where I live, maybe its on digital or satelite.

They aired them for a long time on Disco - but dropped it. When I emailed them and asked them why....they said they are coming out with a US version.
I emailed them back to ask them why would they cancel a show such as top gear, and try to make a knockoff of it that will be US spec? It would have nothing to do with why I orignally liked top gear in the first place...The hosts were great, and the series was great. I cannot wait to see the crap they try to pawn off. :roll:

Whatever. It still pisses me off.

I have lobbied BBC America to start carrying it again but they could careless so we use the blogs and rapidshare sites.

More onto the episode, there was a serious lack of material in this premiere, but I figure they were so focused on Hammond's accident that they filled up most of their airtime with it.

The little material they presented was great though.... clearly they will still carry on with the same attitude and no changes or any "slowing down" for that matter.

Agreed, Wasn't one of the best shows they have done, but I think they were struggling to have features that didn't overshadow Hammonds return.

The crash footage was amazing! The speed it all happened was really shocking.

All in all, They handled it well, keeping it light hearted but showing that it can all go wrong in the blink of an eye.

Clarkson's comment "I could have help that" Made me lol so hard! :D

@JDMPower- I would so totally e-mail them too. Like lat year BBC (england) started aring the sitcom "My Wife & Kids" and dropped it, I still can't imagine the show got poor ratings over in England. I e-mailed them so sure and got a lame reply that they'd consider bringin it back,:roll: . Was my only way to see the show on tv.


@ SchenellerVert -- Yeah it's sooo dumb of them. BBC America is afterall BBC..... they don't even have to look into commercials etc cause there are none during the show. They're prolly thinking that eventually American viewers would want reviews of domestic U.S cars. but they don't have to cause. Intl viewers love the show cause it is different.

Yeah!!!! 0.4 seconds from the right tire blowing to the accident happening!!

[german g]

so what are the details of the accident? What car was he driving? on the test track?

[mtechnik]

He did both runs required for setting the record successfully,,, but decided to do just one more run to enoy himself. Right front tire blew and wham bam.
I'll have to watch my tape again to check on the name of the car.
