From Radio Times:

Sun 30 Jun
8pm - 9pm
BBC2, BBC2 HD
Episode: 1/6.

The motoring magazine returns, as Jeremy Clarkson and James May head to New Zealand to take part in a race along the coastline to the tip of the North Island - with one behind the wheel of a car and the other in an America's Cup yacht. Back in the UK, Richard Hammond tries out three hot hatches as he puts the Renaultsport Clio 200, Peugeot 208 GTi and Ford Fiesta ST through their paces, and a host of stars including Warwick Davis, Charles Dance and Joss Stone assemble at the test track to welcome a new Reasonably Priced Car.

[Clarkey]

Kept that one quiet haven't they?

 

[233]

woohoo made my day that

 

[The_Baron]

Yay

 

[wingman]

Hot hatches and Warwick Davis. Looking forward to it.

 

[[TW]Fox]

A whole 6 episodes.

Why are UK TV series such pitiful lengths?

 

[Marvin]

6? Gets shorter by the series

 

[Weazle]

6? Gets shorter by the series

As each episode gets more expensive to produce

 

[K.C. Leblanc]

6 episodes is not enough. I love the big specials, but I wouldn't mind the odd 'old top gear' style piece. No really I'll love to see Tony Mason doing the odd bit about steam powered commercial vehicles.

That said, I can't wait to see what they're doing with that Transit.

 

[Cr4zy]

6? Awh

These best be the best 6 Top Gear episodes ever and somehow im not sure that's a doable thing.

A whole 6 episodes.

Why are UK TV series such pitiful lengths?

Because their seasons are in-line with the car market. If they did a long season with 12 or 18 episodes with loads of different cars then you can bet a lot of the features would be very old news. Having a shorter season equals more current/up to date content.

On the upside it is a hundred times better than top gear USA.

Wait it's about cars?

Great it's back and I really enjoy but really do they do any preparation? Or think of anything new?

 

[Howard]

Woo

I'll be flying to Thailand on that day, however


Edit: No I won't, that's July, not June. Duh Howard.

 

[eatcustard]

Bring it on

Not sure if serious?

 

[Azza]

Charles Dance!!! Nobody cares about the cars or challenges now!

 

[Raymond Lin]

Although isn't it every few months when they release a new series, rather than 12 months cycle?

 

[Maccy]

Wonderful news, I thought we'd have to wait a lot longer until the next series!
