It's better at 9, they don't have to watch their language so carefully.

Says on the top gear website that it's just for one week and that they don't want to compete with the xfactor :)

I can't see anywhere on the Top Gear website that it says that the 9pm slot is just for one week, and it seems to imply here that the whole series has been shifted to 9pm. Hmmm

lol, TG's blog on there was just too funny not to quote:

...because for this series only, we’re moving to 9pm on November 15. We had no choice really: X Factor on at the same time with the Results Show, Cowell on storming form, the whole nation glued – we know when to bravely bugger off and wait until the storm passes.

Anyway, for God’s sake tell all your mates about the new temporary arrangements, and then we must also address the issue of the kids.

Basically, we know children get much pleasure from watching three grown men being thick, but we also know it’s school on Monday and 9pm might be a bit late for the younger ones, so – and I speak as a parent myself here – mums and dads, for God’s sake let them stay up.

What’s a bit of grouchiness at breakfast between families? And OK your kids might grow up a bit thicker because they slept through the first lesson, but hey, at least they’ll know the horsepower of an Aston Martin DBS, even if they never end up successful enough to buy one on account of staying up to watch Top Gear.

And teachers, if you’re reading this, have a heart after you’ve checked my grammar. Do you really have to do brainy stuff like chemistry first thing on Monday? Why not teach the kids how to sleep on their desktops, or better still have a quiz about BBC motoring programmes?

After all, a typical episode of Top Gear contains maths, geography, physics, politics and if James is doing a film, maybe even some Latin.

So there we are, our future is in your hands, parents and teachers. And kids, if none of this working, just put all the clocks back an hour in the house...

Had a good chuckle. 9pm tonight! Yay.
 
Eric Banna is the Star in the Car and I expect him to be quick as he is a car nut and I know was at Silverstone last week doing some race testing in a Cup car I think. Loads of mates were there for the Gold Track event and he was a top bloke posing with loads for them for pics and happy to chat about stuff.
