Have they ever switched to a different slot even for a single show? Is it a BBC thing, or a standing tall and flat out refusing (respectably) thing?

So basically they are missing Australia and Antarctica for continents they haven't trekked across. Australia has their own Top Gear, but that hasn't kept them out of the US. They could go to New Zealand and drive cars worthy of hobbits, I guess.

I think they have filmed in Australia multiple times, but they haven't done a proper trek across it. In the X6 review he made a budget joke in that he spent all of the episode's money traveling all over to check minor details, but they actually shot those bits while filming something else. Or he was there for other projects, I might remember this wrong. But I do remember they kept continuity on the clothes, but not the exact car. Antarctica, now that's a challenge.

Clarkson did Australia as part of Motorworld, so it wouldn't be too hard for them to come up with a plan.

They're going to be in Sydney in March, so maybe something for the second series this year? They can try and drive a P76 across the Simpson desert or something.

I kind of liked aussie Top Gear. The guys were actually really good at building stuff so the challenges were more impressive than UK Top Gear. When they made electric cars in one challenge, one of them made a legitimately good vehicle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF06vLILwH0

The international teaser for season 19 has been posted (it's full of old footage, but there's a good reason for it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7i7GISSjvU 0:48 on is particularly brilliant.

KillerKatten posted:Seriously is it on today? Yes. New series The motoring magazine returns. Jeremy Clarkson attempts to build a car that is even smaller than the Peel P50 and then tests it out on the streets of London before pitching his concept in the Dragons' Den. James May puts the Bentley Continental GT Speed through its paces by taking it on a rally stage, while Richard Hammond drives the new Pagani Huayra hypercar before handing it over to the Stig. Golden Globe-winning Homeland star Damian Lewis goes for a spin in the Reasonably Priced Car
