Yeah apparently it was in "Top Gear at the movies" dvd.
Still pretty cool but you could tell the outcome.

UK series seems to do the same challenges just with different cars.

At least the US series does a few things differnetly and only re-hashes stuff the UK series did a few seasons ago.

No offence, but do we really need a running commentary of every episode? We all know that it's back on & the constant notifications/new posts are kind of annoying when you haven't seen the ep yet within 24hrs of it airing!
Just my 2c

Let's face it the budget cuts a few years back hit TG UK. Still a good watch, not completely what it once was, hopefully when the world comes out of economic doom and gloom it'll get a boost, wonder how they'll introduce fresh faces when it comes time. I used to think Tom Ford was more Top Gear than Fifth Gear, but for now I'm sure the current crew will hang on as long as they can.

Looking forward to more of the US one, they're finding their feet and I like the understated vibe.

Yeah it really lost a lot when they took a budget cut.
Since then it's just been re-hashing older episodes with newer cars (lets go to rome in supercars, lets pit a car vs a non car and see who wins etc)

Last night's ep of US seemed to flow really well and you can tell their chemistry is really starting to work.
Just a shame they only have 45 minutes instead of hte full hour like the UK series.

Episode 6 of the UK series is out now.

Comparison of hardcore track weapons
Battle of Brittain re-telling.
Boring star again.

One of the better epsiodes this season.

I just watched the show over lunch and I've forgotten what the F10 is.

Was it that forgettable?
