Don't compare it to the UK version (if you can) and it's a great watch.

The major problem with syndications of successful shows is that they try and do a cookie cutter. Top gear UK is in what, season 12? How long have they all been together? The Aussie version was too stunted, and scripted. Im sure the UK version is scripted but it doesnt come across that way

The UK show is much better than the Aussie version, but still I would watch the Aussie one since there isnt anything else. Its the most recorded since its a duff time slot.

I thought the Aussie version was pretty infintile with the three of them trying too hard; and then it grew on me. After all, what else is there to watch on a Monday night? The Rich List? I think not. The Toorak Tractor was a hoot, as was turning the Smart car into a herse. They are not the British presenters, they never will be; but hey! they're Australian and the UK version is getting a bit stale.

Top Gear - Australia Nope, sorry. A pretty piss poor rip off and imitation of the BBC series. Charlie is a pathetic Clarkeson imitation. Pizzati tries to hard to be the 'Hamster' and Brown is certainly no James May. Can't wait for the 8 Australian episodes to be over and then we can go back to the original and the best. SBS? What were they thinking? :-) Top Gear - UK. Thank God It's back. The original and the best.

At the risk of being a heretic, and after raving about Top Gear for many years, I'm starting to find it is getting stale. Same old Stig with silly intro, same basic formula. How many TV faces or supposed famous people can try to race a crappy car around the same track? And Hamster's suddenly got "bling"!

After months of hearing people banging on about Top Gear... I finally sat down and watched an episode (last week's). Hillarious!!! what have I been doing all this time.

Keeping any show like this fresh is a challenge. If I hear anymore silly intros for "The Stig" I'll scream. It will be interesting to see if the producers can take it any further and make it better. Otherwise I reckon it will start to drop down the IWT "Most Popular" list. Oz version - gulp!!

Agreed. Clarkson is an offensive arrogant plonker though.. And surely this format is running a little thin? Gawd only knows what the Australian version will be like :)
