A new year brings a new season of BBC's Top Gear...

Teaser for the next season was released last week:

Have the viewing public forgotten about Chris Evans yet? Or even the last of the summer wine?

Seriously? Block? Again? So soon?

Clarkson at least waits a decade before recycling material.

Not including:
The Stig
Star in a Reasonably Priced Car
The Cool Wall
Budget car challenges
Car v Public Transport
...to name but a few. Granted, all tweaked to be different but no more so than Ken Block's efforts.

[Oakey]

Is that the same location as that episode of The Grand Tour when they kept killing James May?

[Yipper]

Both TG and GT have become like embarrassing dads at a wedding. It's all gotten a bit cringe.

[strummerville]

It looks terrible.
It will be terrible.
Bring back William Woollard.
I will hate every episode.



But I’ll watch every one all the way through and whinge for page after page on here about it.

[TopTrump]

That looks awful.

Will be interesting to see the viewing figures this season. Last season was a proper reboot so we should see if has the strength the survive/grow on its own.

Personally it's not something I watch, but that doesn't mean I want to see the franchise die.

[Too Drunk to Funk]

Looks OK. Last series was so much better than the Evans one.

Thank you for that, just got some Never seen a TV show being recorded before, let alone TG!

I’m guessing there is no huge waiting list like there used to be seeing as I only applied last night.

[Shakermaker]

If they've done the recordings, is this back on Sunday evening this week, or next weekend?

[P-Jay]

Good News!

I actually prefer the post-Evans New, New Top Gear to GT, but luckily I can watch both.

Seems a bit of a smaller 'thing' than Old, New Top Gear though, only 1 series a year and no Xmas Special, that's a bit of a shame, there's only so much Celebrity Strictly Baking on Ice a Man can take.

[KernowSid]

Still 3 or 4 episodes of Dragons Den to go in the series in the normal Sun 8pm BBC 2 slot.

Looks like a February start?

[anonymous-user]

In the studio on Tuesday there was mention of March for the new series.

[Too Drunk to Funk]

I doubt it will start before GT finishes. 4 more episodes?

[anonymous-user]

Desperate much? A few moments ago I applied for 2 more tickets for the filming on the 24th Feb and minutes later, got them.

I guess that's the last episode in the series – I might go again to top and tail the experience, and to see if Rory is allowed to say more than 10 words.

[Dr Doofenshmirtz]

Still got Rory stare into the camera like a lost rabbit in headlights Read in it. Never mind.

And "Wait three seconds to remember your witty, definitey-not-scripted-off-the-cuff remark to a bemused guest." which he fell foul of a couple of times in the last series, though that is something he would be able to work on
