I think some of the segment music has been changed (like they do with some of the official web segments) but there haven't been many that have stuck out. I haven't noticed any differences in video content from the originally broadcast episodes and the lengths seem correct.

In the UK the BBC don't have to pay royalties for music used so they always get the best they can. When it's being sold for profit (like DVDs or Re-runs not on the BBC) or for export then then have to change the music.

Interestingly, Hammond's crash episode (9.1) isn't on Netflix. My favorite episode by far is episode 7.3, where they take a Zonda, Ford GT, and Ferrari F430 through France. It's hugely entertaining the whole way through, the cars are gorgeous, and they devote almost the entire episode to the trip.

I forgot, the one where they review Clarkson's Grosser and May's Rolls Royce is pretty classic. Season 11 episode 5. Watching the Grosser try a slalom is hilariously absurd.

My favourite is either S15E2 where they take MB 190 Cosworth, BMW M3 and Sierra Cosworth on Autobahn or S11E5 Grosser vs Pulman.

My favourite challenge is still episode 5 in season 7, where Clarkson in a Veyron races May & Hammond's Cessna from Switzerland to London. Almost the perfect combination of an awesome car and good banter between the presenters.

If you don't watch it in order, from the beginning you may miss out on a lot of subtleties as well as the knowledge of a black stig that existed at one time. Also, Top Gear has Series, not Seasons. I genuinely found it funny in S16E5 when they ran around Norway and lit the town on fire in their snow removal combine.

Gorilla Salad posted:They could use traditional Russian vehicles likes these ones I've found from EnglishRussia.com  Also, if they were doing something in Russia I could totally see James rocking up in a VT-10 Vityaz articulated crawler. It would suit him perfectly - it's practical, can cover literally any terrain (even water), and is dog-slow.

Not to perpetuate this most tiresome of recurring arguments, but one of the things I love about the show is the moments that you know weren't staged. They remind you that even though an awful lot of their wacky hijinks are scripted to hell and back, sometimes painfully so, these guys nonetheless have a lot of genuine chemistry together and you can laugh a lot at any candid recording of them just shooting the poo poo. The cameraman busting up in laughter at Clarkson's "Princess Di had one" (when he was showing off his mineclearing tractor) is one such moment. The backwoods mayor dancing in the tire shop in the latest US special is another.

No producer would ever allow a bit that consists of one long shot of a woman, terrible audio and a camera man shooting the ground as he runs, making Blairwitch look like a cinematic masterpiece. You would have had much more production. It's included because in an otherwise boring road trip they had something crazy happen. So who cares about how it looks and sounds, because that's genuine drama. - Any Producer In The World Welcome to TV Land. I bet Hamster crashing was one elaborate hoax. Cunning geniuses these fellas! Sometimes you gotta go into a fake coma for them ratings, being a tv personality is no joke. It's all written into their BBC contracts of course.

So Clarkson joined in the chorus of Brits making fun of Romney, if anyone is interested. Also, really looking forward to the next season of TGUSA. Did Rutledge say if they were going to change the format at all? Their run-time is tragically short for all the content they try to include.
