I just tried it and it won't let me see it over here, says it's for UK only.  Luckily, I get BBC shows on cable, so I watch it whenever I can.  Love that show.  The last bit of series 7 I think it was where Jeremy was trying to see if he could get a better time on the video game or on the real life track was great.  I dig Top Gear and IT Crowd, but those are about the only British shows I watch.  Are there other good ones I should be watching that I just don't know about? 

Oh, almost forgot about Doctor Who...

Which US special was this? It's not viewable to those in the US, not ironically.

I DVR and watch every episode on BBC America... but I see in the opening montage and season premieres things that never air. The other day there was a best of '07 and they did a sequence I never saw before, and have DVR'd and watched every episode for over 2 years now.

I think the original BBC airing has stuff they edit out for us :(

The original BBC show is an hour with no commercials. They edit in commercials in the US version so they have to cut something out to keep it a one hour show.
