Wishbone Ash

How many editions were in that series. I can only recall four! :eek:

1. Hamster's accident
2. Alabama
3. The tractors/rape seed oil
4. The limmos

Did I miss a few?

kaimera

6 eps in s09 afaik.

Did it not say TG would be back in the summer at the end of the show?

episode 6 - mustang gt500, limos

Mark 00

As far as i know the new series is due to air in the summer.

RE*AC*TOR

The us trip show was easily the highlight of the series. I hope they pursue more shows like that. I don't think we need to see test-drives of super-cars in every show.

Any chance of an e-mail campaign for a jaunt round Dublin each piloting a Brit classic like say an MG without a map?

Mike.

oh yeh, theyve never been to ireland, send clarkson down the backarse or no where without a map,,,, that'd be some funny show, can you just imagine the giving out??

magnumlady

I think they should send them round Ireland, either in their limo's or in the tractors. Send them up to my neck of the woods, it'd be brilliant.

Silverfish

That would be interesting........ as long as This doesn't happen.

cyrusdvirus

can you imagine it? There'd be 2 sets of people interested. The people who like the show, and the trolls like the guy who did nothing but give out for the last 3 pages in the motors forum.

Personally i'd quite enjoy it.

Anti

All of the filming for se09 was done before hamsters accident. Apart from the last episode.

Was not overly happy with the series, it was okay. But it seems to have turned into more of a comedy show rather then a show about cars.


Yes the funny element of the show is great, but for ****s sake i want to see mroe overstear and more of the stif driving like the loon that he is.

Stephen

I thought the stig falling out of his seat while racing the tractor around the track was quite funny

Anti

Go back to playing puzzle bobble you. Your concept of funny does not impress me !

cool, never realised there was a top gear forum!!

thought it was a very funny series...hammond trying to make himself as small as possible in his pickup with "man love reules" painted down the side...or may shouting for the jumpleads in the filling station...brilliant:D

hammond was in ireland a while back, raced a greyhound around the dog track in dublin....the dog won, hammond was driving a mazda

More cars, less messing around.

There seems to be confussion about whether Top Gear will do a new series.

Wonder whats the problem? Why would Clarkson say that, is he looking for a pay rise!

The bits in the studio are recorded long after that other stuff.

I heard James May on the news this morning saying that the show was going ahead and that all three presenters would be on the show. He did say there were questions about how the series would run...whatever that means!

mike65

There will be a new series and there will be a summer special as well. Oh and Red Nose Day has a Top Gear section.

Hammond actually did two pieces in Ireland for TG

One where he drove some old racing cars round the Phoenix Park while explaining the history of British Racing Green and another piece where he raced a greyhound in a Mazda MX-5 Roadster

The other two haven't been tho, would like to see all power some exotica around the connemeara countryside

LFCFan

Were the bits that The Hamster did in Ireland broadcast?

Mossy Monk

The greyhound race was definately shown. Didn't see the Phoenix Park one myself.

woodyg

Any update on when the new series kicks off?

On another note i had the pleasure of seeing the Filming of the mazda in Ireland. It was done in the Sally gap they had the road closed for most of the day and the Hamster just drove the nuts off it all day up and down the road.

According to an article written by clarkson himself i read a while back ,(possibly on the top gear website im not sure) the new series will probably come out around christmass.
