Where there's smoke there's always fire, and unfortunately it is confirmed that channel 9 will get it. What a travesty.
No more re-runs on SBS either, and the channel 9 board are sure to mess it up as I described previously. I'm guessing the frequency of ads will be like channel 7 with border security (read advertiser security) What an utter disaster.

Well this is no good at all. To fit in the ads it will have to be a 90 minute show for sure

It looks like it'll be nines "Footy Show" on wheels, bogans by the bag full.
There will probably be a segment called "bring back the diff" n' another where a bunch of tossers from the audience try and chuck hubcaps through an open front window of a Camera from 25 feet.

We should all write to Top Gear UK and Clarkson and beg him not to let Ch9 loose with the format and presenter choices. If Clarkson has it written in the contract he has say on who and what then it might, ( only might), have a chance of not sinking faster than the Titanic.
The formula of 2 motorheads and a fall guy (captain slow) works and should be kept. so my short list would include; Sam Newman - because he speaks his mind and doesn't give a toss. Larko - but they'd never get him away from 7. Ian Luff - knowledge, experience, presence Steve Pazatti - towards the end of the last season he was finally starting to relax a bit. Warren Brown - Still makes a good fall guy ( but not along with Steve , make it either one or the other) Kev Bartlett - knowledge, experience, presence Colin Bond - He's done it all, and well. Jim Richards - see above There are more but they're the ones who spring to mind. Guys I wouldn't pick; Warney - he's just wrong on so many levels. Skafey - Too serious, too uptight, got tickets on himself so his ego would get in the way. Crompton - Great presenter and knowledgable but I recon he's TOO polished for this gig. Denyer - TOO "up" all the time, comes across as performing instead of being himself. There are others but I don't want to start an argument an more than I may have already. lol. Eric Bana would be brilliant but that's just fantasy and although some of the current race drivers would fit right in they wouldn't have the time to put in to it. Just my opinions of coarse. Bushbasher

What's interesting too is that channel 7 has begun advertising Fifth Gear.
I suppose one thing we can be thankful of is that channel 7 didn't get top gear; they'd probably have sMell and David Kock as hosts.

Channel 7 will be able to show old EPs for a while, but who REALLY wants to see reviews of older model cars you can no longer buy ;)

"ALL NEW CHANNEL 7 FIFTH GEAR - starring Mel, David Kock and Grant Denyer" Imagine it, (in scratchy crappy kochie voice) "Now Mel, why would you want anything other than a Prius? All the sports cars are for bald, fat has beens with scratchy voices and little ding-alings" (Mel nods head like a bimbo) "Um hum."

With regard to Top Gear, I don't think I'll be watching it on 9. I am loyal to SBS and ABC. |

Thank God for torrents - that's where I'll be watching UK TG from now on. And because I like anything with wheels I'll no doubt still watch Channel 9's ballsup of the Aussie version... with a heavier heart.
As an aside does it not make the final segment of the final episode of series 13 a little more poignant?

It'll be junk, I don't have a problem with Top Gear Australia, keeping in mind they don't have the budget of Top gear UK and couldn't get away with half the chit Top Gear UK can i think they do a decent job with it!
Soon as 9 get's it it will take a dive, anything that might up-set the Bubble rap or road safety brigade will be cut and it'll end up with the same old rubbish motoring shows.
