Posted 02/01/10 04:47 AM Share Posted 02/01/10 04:47 AM Remember that Top gear is from the BBC. In the UK every show on the Beeb runs without ads. It doesnt need ads to fund it as its paid for by the public once a year in a license fee. Everyone who has a colour TV HAS to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Here since the start...

You get the extra footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 02/01/10 06:40 AM Share Posted 02/01/10 06:40 AM Nope, the dvds have stuff cut out also and re-edited. Take the Veyron race from Italy. Clarkson spends ages messing about ringing insurance companies to get quotes as well as heaps of facts that are not in the DVD version but I watched on TV originally back in England.

I know the early seasons of TGUK had issues but I think they worked better from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
