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

    • Nvidia 610.62 driver lands with big bug fixes and Empulse support by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a new driver available for Nvidia GeForce hardware owners, and it's carrying a whole lot of bug fixes.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
