Can't wait! 6 shows isnt great, but they are an hour long with no ad's, so it's like 12 episodes of 5th Gear - and not sh1te!

I hope they do some more European road-trips/races in this one!

Well it must be me but i've gone off top gear! it used to be about cars, but now i think it's more about the presenters having a jolly in stuff that the vast majority of us can only dream about! dont get me wrong i'm all for a bit of exotica but i think its more of a light entertainment show. Theres no real infomative analasis of the current crop of cars that relates to ordinery people.
When on the odd occaision they do a review about a car that is vaugley within the realms of ordinary folk they just seem to slate it. I personally think they have lost touch with the general car buying public..

Yes they have -- but I don't really care. I watch it because it is great entertainment.

MOTORING: Top Gear
On: BBC 2 North West (102)
Date: Sunday 22nd June 2008 (starting in 5 days)
Time: 20:00 to 21:00 (1 hour long)

The very latest Top Gear news and views from the team. Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May apply their minds to the question of what car the British police should drive. The Top Gear crew set out to buy a bargain priced police cruiser that can take part in a dramatic chase without fear of costing the tax payer a packet if it gets broken. Plus, the Reasonably Priced Car welcomes a pair of stars in the contrasting shapes of the Friday Night Project's Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins.
