They should go after Rowan Atkinson for the next season. He would be a fantastic choice as host.

Still no sign of the new episodes of Top Gear on either BBC Brit or Nine (I think Australia is now one season behind the rest of the world).

That’s a shame, the racing driver and his northern mates are pretty good… much better than that bloke from Friends (it doesn’t feel as forced anymore).
Come over to NZ, you can watch here FTA.

Yeah I’ve been watching on TVNZ On Demand, great that they’re fast tracking new episodes.
And definitely agree that Paddy, Freddie and Chris are a much better trio.

When I see the name Paddy McGuinness I think of the late journalist who worked for Fairfax and The Australian.

Series 28 premieres next Sunday (May 10) at 7pm. It aired on the BBC on January 26 this year.
Looks like Nine is skipping the Nepal special which was shown in UK on December 29 last year.
Which channel is the premiere of the new season on? 9Go? Or perhaps 9Rush?
