Calling all petrol heads ... take a peak at Top Gear!

[Carol Haynes]

If you are in the UK you probably watch Top Gear - if you live elsewhere you probably don't ('cos you can't).

Don't get me wrong my take on cars is that they get you from A to B and don't cost a fortune to buy, maintain or run - and when something needs fixing I GALMI !!!

However, Top Gear is a favourite programme of mine mainly because it is very funny testosterone driven silliness that doesn't take itslef at all seriously. I particularly enjoy the daft challenges - like the first epsiode let's make a convertable and then see if they survive in a car wash, and last week (ep 2) canoe vs. 4 wheel drive in Iceland.

Interested - well now the world can watch it 'cos the latest series is availble on a week by week basis via the BBC website ...

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I love this program (as almost all of my friends do). But it isn't available here, and "ilegally" downloading it from the internet is a bit of a hasle.
This is fantastic news!

Don't forget URLSnooper & Streambox if you prefer to batch download and watch offline. They are quite big files (~90Mb) as the progs are 1 hour in length. For RealMedia they aren't bad quality either.

Also don't forget - the BBC don't leave these things online for long (usually just a couple of weeks at the most).

Unfortunately BBC Two video content is only available to users within the UK. We're sorry for any disappointment.

Be careful... Many people would say DC is supporting illegal activities..

Still, it's a great show! Thanks for letting me know there's a new series
