Guess you'll need to find a charitable member to help you out and burn them to DVD.

Doubt they'd have this series on there yet? Since there's only been 3 episodes I think so far, be fairly silly....

IMO they've lost the plot on Top Gear - no longer about cars, more about Clarkson airing his views and dicking about..... I'm sure there's plenty of people who love that though, personally I'd prefer a bit more of a car focus! Still watch it though :rofl:

i dont think its a question of time. i cant find any DVD's of the series, no matter how old. i just dont think they have done them in a ligitimate fashion at all, other than a few of the specials that are available.

It's on that frequently over here that I guess they figured there's no market for a DVD.... you could potentially watch Top Gear all day if you desired.... Repeated on many of the freeview/sat channels.... the new Dave channel (yes we have a channel called Dave now, believe it or not!) seem to show nothing but Clarkson/Top Gear!!

I agree with you on the Clarkson obsession...he really is a cretin isn't he. Hammond and May are like a ray of sunshine compared to Clarkson's jingoistic rants. He really has a deep hatred for anything from the USA...despite all of that I believe he bought some sort of Ford car that gave him no end of problems.

Love the show, can't stand the main host.

Used to be on BBC World, with the most recent shows. Then they sold the rights to BBC Canada who are showing old episodes, several times over! Never watched it since BBC Canada got it.

E-mail BBC World and tell them we want it back on there. If they get enough e-mails maybe they will put it back on in North America.
