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

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.

    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
