Rooo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 True Vision Channel 22 BBC Knowledge starting on the First, will be showing TOP GEAR. I am not sure which UBC package you have to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzi850m2 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I read in TV forum that you need platinum for that sadly, I only got the gold package as it is very expensive for what you get. Never mind will download Top Gear from one of the many torrents sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naboo Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Back in the early 90s, Top Gear was ace. It's been on a steady decline since. Watched the Christmas India special. Somehow it's still getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow it's still getting worse. same with fifth gear that show has fallen off though I do like Tiff. agreed the 90s were great for both shows now its more about script, pop culture and not enough about cars, amazing how the whole premise of the shows is fast getting lost. No different than bands which make it and then sell out to the masses, most guys still enjoy cars but not many can even change oil or a tyre so its likely these days all this decline is necessary to reach the audience Edited January 1, 2012 by caphant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caphant Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Exactly wouldnt be an audience, needs to be a pop soap best illustrated by the celebrity challenge of the modestly priced car around the circuit, There are a few good shows on discovery turbo which keep me entertained. I remember the horse power cable package overseas 10 years back which was fantastic with 5 channels talking facts and requiring the viewer to know more than how to merely operate a car....oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camelot Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Gold package will get you BBC Knowledge on Ch 22 for now. I've already watched a couple of episodes of Top Gear and I have Gold, not Platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyaussie Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Agree with previous comment, the show has run out of ideas. It used to be about cars and exotics. Now it's more about the personalities of the hosts and stupid comparisons. It's as though each hosts minders have identified certain traits for each and now they are over emphasizing them. They're also trying to give a "I don't care what I look like" persona so they appear cool. I bet they spend just as much time in makeup chair to look scraggy as it does to appear groomed. As the series dates they should stop trying to appeal to a broader audience and focus on petrol heads like they used to. TV is absolutely crap these days. Especially UK. They seem to make anyone a celebrity, even people who appear on crap reality shows or one hit wonders. It used to be the best TV in the world. Just hope they can recreate that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
