Hey, go to the link provided and you can request to have Top Gear aired on the BBC america channel!! It takes 2 seconds, just click on the link, then mark the "Top Gear" box. Looks like this could be the only way we get the show on the US side of the Atlantic!!

Yes! I hope they are it. I get BBC America, I have the Dish Network satellite. That would be awesome if I could watch top gear.

Actually Comcast Digital cable has BBC America because that's what we have and for gottacatchup, there should be a TVguide channel; to tell you or if you have digital the large menu would tell you, if not the providers website should have a listing for you.

I did the deal. However, I'm kind of over loaded with car stuff as it is, I may never leave the house at all as a result. I have a couple complete TG episodes and they are awesome.

We have a bunch of mediocre car review programs (in the US) and Top Gear and 5th Gear are definitely some of the ones that I wish we had.

I wish my cable provider would have this channel in my area. It has to be a lot better than that 'Bravo' channel. And I see that they have 'Keeping Up Appearances'. Saturday nights I watch that and some other British sit-coms on ETV. Funny shows. Love that British humor!

US's car programs suck. the only remotely good channel is SPEED channel and 90% of those shows suck stinky ass. i have digital cable and don't even catch BBC so this poll really won't work for me, but i voted anyway for the good of my fellow americans :D
Homans

I agree. I think that with such a high proporition of our country being interested with cars, there should be some half-decent shows being thrown up. And if you say Car and Driver TV is a good show, you dont deserve to have an opinion in the first place.

Aha...the americans need Top Gear to knock them out from buying damned Toyotas. I went to the site and put on my request.
And also i wrote a petition to bring Top Gear to the States for my English project.

awesome, I just dropped them a nifty line. I soooooooooooo hope they bring Top Gear over here. Until then...i'll have to get a TIVO and record those shows...or...just hook it up to my computer and record. :P

I don't believe they show Top Gear on BBC in america anyways. And we all should fill this out, thread should be a sticky. I love that show and it's narrators/hosts.
mhn3773
01-26-2004, 08:19 PM
no they dont show it on te BBC american hence the thread telling people to ask for it to come to america =)
im just givin u shit
i was kinda pissed when i figured out that the BBC i was getting was not the REAL BBC it was some americanized thing..
i thought when it said BBC it was all the same so i musta spent 2 weeks trying to figure out when top gear was on lol

mhn3773

i dont know if it would include canada..u should mabey look around the site and see if theres either another page for canada or something that says what areas would be affected

In Canada, you can watch it on Bell Express View, they carry BBC2

01-26-2004, 11:58 PM
Thank god in here we've got Top Gear =)
portuguese programs about cars really sucks! i wanted to "record" one to show you guys how it sucks, but i dunno how to do it =\
I hope that bbc goes to us, it's really good, particularly top gear =)
