    Is it only 6 eps because of how much it costs them to make it?

      i think it's been 6 eps for many seasons now

      it's because it started off as low-ish budget series and then exploded into what it is now

        that last segment on the clifftop was brilliant, one of the best segments on TG in a long time - up there with the Lancia segment a couple of seasons ago.

          the beeb is looking for ways to cut their budget (as a whole) so doubt top gear would of got a increase..

            Maybe more people giving their stuff freely. This in turn reduces costs to BBC.

            As they say, any publicity is good publicity. (even if they do trash or bag the shit out of it.)

              re installed a fresh download and same problem.
              anyone know a similar bit torrent app that works?
              Alternatively look at www.icefilms.info , search for topgear. Links to megaupload, im getting it at 450kb/s.

                  I thought it was because of their other commitments. They still do 12/13 eps (split 6 now and 6 at the end of the year) a year so surely it cant be because of cost?

                    Summer break, keep the show fresh, ratings seasons... dunno. I doubt it's all about budget, though they did have some cutbacks and were supposedly reducing the overseas jaunts.

                        It's simply a local convention, most series in the UK are only 6 episodes long with a number of series each year so Top Gear has simply followed that convention.

                          The Poms do seem pretty good at not wearing out their welcome by stretching a series beyond the number of ideas they have. Mustard mitt, though, I'd not noticed a Beeb setup where they regularly had 2 short seasons a year before Top Gear; most are only one a year (eg. Spooks usually being 8 eps per year). Doctor Who has split the current season similarly, but a big break in the middle is also normal for Seppo shows too, often a 2-3 month break over Christmas.
                          Soft roaders represent an excellent compromise between the needs of the hardcore 4x4 user and the convenience of a city hatchback. Its clear to see why they have become so popular in todays society.
