It is probably better to watch Top Gear on the net than on US tv anyway.  The BBC over here has no commercial breaks, this means that Top Gear is pretty much a full hour long.  It will be heavily edited if you watch it on US tv with commercial breaks to fit within the standard hour time slot.

The only Top Gear i see is reruns from 2 years ago that they keep playing,good show though. Clarkson has to be one of the funniest guys out there.

The ones I watched this past week on BBC-America were aired this past summer in Blighty.

I watch it on BBC here on cable.  Lots of good programs come from the other side of the pond!

Is anyone watching the US version of Life On Mars? Any good?

Also - if you're into 'Monty Python'-esque humo(u)r, I highly recommend Little Britain USA.

For me the best british comedy is peep show, it's the only comedy which makes me laugh out loud.  It generally has a slow build up that culminates in an absolutely hilarious ending.  They're currently making a 6th series.

An episode for you guys in the US who haven't heard of it- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Za1JOa65k&feature=related

The families of those murdered complained to the BBC in the hope of another russell brand type resignation.   No chance Jeremy is a legend.

lol well they shouldn't have let their children become prostitutes then ffs.

sounds no different than GT's i've seen here, pretty crappy built cars. DiabloTX pointed out some welds on that car that a 5 year could have done better.

Yeah, those were pretty surprising, considering the price of the car and how it was supposed to be "hand-made".  Well, I guess they really were hand-made...by the lowest bidder.
