***Top Gear: Season 18***

Postby SRASC » December 25th, 2011, 12:24 pm

Wikipedia wrote:Series Eighteen is expected to start in January 2012 following a Christmas special on 28 December 2011. The special will be a route across India, one of the many countries Top Gear plan to visit over the course of the new series, according to Jeremy Clarkson. Shooting in India began on 2 October, with the first leg of the shooting beginning in suburbs of Mumbai. The show was also seen in Lecce, Italy with a Noble M600, McLaren MP4-12C and a Lamborghini Aventador. Hammond announced during the Top Gear Live shows in Birmingham, that additional recordings for the new series had been done in the USA.


Would have been a nice present from the British for that to air tonight (there)/today (here), but still looking forward to it Wednesday.

6 is an assumption. Top Gear adopted a 14 episode a year format for the 2 seasons a year. Split by 1/2 for 7 a season.
With all that said...

I just remember the 14/year comment coming from James after the Lexus LFA review while he was criticizing Richard for the amount of money in special effects he spent. Jeremy didn't make it better through his review of the BMW X6 where he took it and himself to Australia, Japan, Spain, Sweden (I think) & Barbados, leaving James with next to nothing from the original budget.

Now converting it to be iOS friendly. Saw little pieces here & there on the BBC iPlayer. (Now I know why Jeremy mocked it on the show at one time)

this more than deserves a 720p download... if you have the bandwidth and patience... get it 720p.
