Top Gear Series 14


Recommended Posts

Guys, just a heads-up - the new series starts at 9pm not 8pm as it used to.

Something to do with some people singing on another channel or something.

Looks great. The boys get up to their old antics again, and the stig goes green at one point (look out for the sandals lol). Plus, a car gets launched into a river... hmmm... killing off ANOTHER stig?? 6 days and counting, cannot wait :)

Can't wait for the new series - Top Gear is the best thing on British TV these days! The only antidote to the misery of things like X-Factor and Strictly Come Dancing..

No news on the number of episodes for this series - Radio Times normally shows what number show an episode is of the series, but nothing on there ATM to indicate that... :(

My wife got tickets to one of the recordings but couldn't get the day off work, and couldn't take a sickie as she already has too many ill days (genuine)... :( I was soo upset :'(

Looking forward to the new season, probably only 7 episodes like the last 2 seasons though :(

Edit: First show starts later than normal 9pm due to other crap on telly (x****or) :p

That's one thing that I couldn't figure out from the mag (which has got a preview in there)... just how many shows there will be!

I'll have another look when I get home, see if I can figure it out. The article spans 3 pages of content but no mention as to the number of shows...

Top Gear is pretty much the only thing I watch on TV these days. Nothing else worth watching.

And I hope it's not another ridiculously short series.

According to the post that resides 2 above yours it appears to be 7 episodes long. Enough to tide us to Christmas and the first two weeks in January (They'll have a week off for Christmas).

Going to be watching all of this on iPlayer. Can't wait!

7 episodes not too bad considering we only got 6 last series and theyve had to absorb all the costs of retooling everything with HD equiptment.

I remember reading somewhere that Top Gear had been shot in HD since they did the polar special but BBC never got around to broadcasting it in HD.

Do you guys get it at the same time as us? or is it delayed?

I'm not sure. This will be the first Top Gear season I catch new.

I know that Dragon's Den and The F Word are aired new on the same day as they do in UK. So I would expect that the new episodes of Top Gear to air on the same day or within the same week of the UK.

BBC America is owned by the BBC. So the only thing that would delay it would have to do with FCC and international trade "muck."

Nah that was a one off special, Andy Wilman the Top Gear producer has always said that apart from the special everything has been in SD because of the cost factor, dunno how theyve managed to give us 1 more episode than last series as well as HD upgrade considering the budget cuts.

Seems a bit daft to spend all that money on HD equipment and still show it in SD.

As far as I know, the newest top gear to be played on BBC America is like 9 or 10. And they're played randomly. I have to watch them using "alternative" methods.

Oh right!

It is hard to tell because the "Date Aired" on the DirecTV "INFO" is for the original American broadcast no the UK broadcast :(.

Although I'm not sure why they would delay it. They don't delay the news :|

According to the BBC America website Top Gear 12 is playing in America and Ep. 8 was the last one (from what I can tell). I'm new to the show, so it is all new to me :p

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

    • I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
    • Loading Topaz Photo AI freezes my system since this update...
    • I had issues with my NVME, it was running really slow (like 2/3 mb bandwidth) ... had to reverted via System Restore and all is fine now.
