Top Gear - err what happened to the new series?

[SonnyM]

I thought a new series started a few weeks ago with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz... Then I turned on the tv a week or so ago and they said it was the end of the series.

Are there only 2 or 3 episodes in one series or have I forgotten to take my pills?

Ta.

[dan19evans]

There was 6 episodes.

[ZOLLAR]

Yep, just 6 episodes pretty sure there used to be more.
I think what they have done is reduce the amount of episodes to increase the amount they spend on each one.

[TotalControl]

I think they halved the episodes from 12 to 6 per series.

Don't they usually do a few, have a break for the summer, and have the second half in the autumn? Pretty sure that's what happened last year...

Next series is next year!

[entwisi]

so, one of the most profitable shows on the BC and we get 6 shows a year? Rubbish IMHO.

perhaps if they are short of ideas they could ask on places like this for ideas. i am sure we could come up with some crazy st.

Thanks. Nice to know my tv license gets used effectively - Top gear is the only reason I have a tv.

I'm off to the gym for a few rounds on the heavy bag...

The bit that seems strange to me is that they have 6 shows, and then 4 'best of' shows. Why not just repeat the whole series again!

Or have i got the wrong end of the stick and the best of is more than just this series?
