Top Gear (in the UK)....
Just Curious....
I've just seen TG on BBC world on Sat night.
Episode was the Zonda F / R.Burns / Cleo In Portugal / Porsche Cayman.
Episode was 30 minutes only.
The episode on Sun night was identical, but I was expecting to see the second half ??
Questions -
I though episodes were 50 mins ?
Has this changed ?
What did I miss ?

They might edit them down for some of the cable/sky channels. You can download complete episodes from www.finalgear.com using BitTorrent.

Have to echo the two comments above. BBC World editions of TopGear are, alas, edited, seems they will usually edit out the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car section, and I think they edit out some of the news items as well.
If you have a local BBC feed then you might get full TG episodes, for example, BBC Canada does show full TG episodes, but they are currently a year out of date.
Not all a loss though, as mentioned above, use finalgear to download video files of the latest shows (TG and Fifth Gear as well). Seem to upload the show usually a few hours after it's aired in the UK, or the day after. They also have some episodes from the early 90's, very cool indeed.
