    the BBC have sold the TG format to an Aussie station, its looks like its a direct copy.

    clicky
    They are Charlie Cox, better known in Britain as a BBC motor sport commentator; Warren Brown, a newspaper cartoonist; and Steve Pizzati, a motoring writer and stunt driver. Although the producers claim none of the presenters is modelled on the British counterparts, a glance at their profiles suggests that Cox will be the Clarkson of the gang (sample commentary: “That driver’s so unlucky that if he fell in a barrel of boobs he’d come up sucking his thumb”).

    Brown is an Aussie May – he has a passion for the ukelele and banjo and collects old vehicles, including two 1920s fire engines and an armoured car. Pizzati is the youngest of the three and has Hammond’s cheeky-chappie charm. He describes himself as a failed jet pilot turned racing driver and a “gun for hire”. Completing the lineup is, naturally, a helmeted racing driver who never speaks – “the Stig’s Aussie cousin”.

    Mike.

    Top Gear is pretty big over here. We get re-runs of old series in prime time weekend slots on SBS and as far as I know ratings are pretty good. I tune in anyway. Definitely think it'll be a success.

    Get them rippin it up in a 5.3 litre VT Commodore :cool:
