Dear SBS,

Please stop funding Top Gear Australia, instead use the money to allocate more shows of Top Gear UK.

Thank you.

#3 was a great improve over the first 2 epsisodes.
The only real cringe now is charlie cox and the writing. The show doesnt have to be hilarious just really well scripted, shot & entertaining.
Correct as many of you are, the 02 season of TGUk was marginal to say the least but then they didnt have a bench mark. The pre-rebirth version of TGUK was crap so clarkson’s 2002 re-invention of the show started off without any real peers. Having said that, I reckon our TGA could have been a lot better straight out of the box as they had models of success to emulate. I dont think they should be copying verbatim though unless the franchise states they have to.
Lets hope its turned a corner.

Yes, the 1st episode was a little embarressing but i think they’re starting to find their feet now. Just remember, the early series of TGUK were’nt that slick. At least the production qualities are on par with UK version. I reckon it will take awhile for the guys to really gel as TV presenters since they are novices at it. To those knockers out there, you gave the UK version a long time to get it right (me included) so why not give the aussie version the same chance?

I was in the audience for Top Gear Australia show four (on air next Monday night) and it was FANTASTIC! The guys are really hitting their straps now which is amazing after only FOUR eps. There were about 250 of us and there was roars of laughter at the bowls story. Real Top Gear stuff – but with Australia all over it. There’s lots to get excited about with the show and good things take a while to develop. Better than all the other crap television car shows and the guys are getting better at expressing their opinions of cars. Give them a chance!!!!

I was really hoping the show would get better but to all the people who say that it is; what are you talking about? Where is it getting better. I can’t see it, sorry.

Now come on Robj and co, 3 episodes is no where near enough to banish the show for life…i swear, the way some people seem to be carrying on you would think the show is 4 season old and still of the same quality, episode 3 was MUCH better than the first two, and it will get better, have patience for pete’s sake!

I have noticed that there seems to be a lot less haters after this episode than the last two….

Ok, I give up its terrible. I cannot see how this will improve. At least get rid of Steve (replace with a hot car chick).

Thanks
