Something else might be on at the same time on BBC 1 that is getting a HD simulcast, Top Gear might appear later in the evening or even later in the week.

The latest news is that it's being simulcast at 9pm on the 15th and Garrow's Law is being pushed back to 10pm on BBC HD.

Has Top Gear moved to 9pm on BBC 2 as well or is it only on BBC HD it's at 9pm?

Good to hear TG will be in HD. Not sure about JC though!

With a series like this I think BBCHD should either simulcast the entire series or have it aired later but at a set time on the HD channel.

It will be annoying if it's HD time slots are changing all the time.

There is no evidence at the moment to suggest that the HD time will not simulcast with the SD time.

Yes. it's very annoying that Garrow's Law which gets its first episodes simulcast, has to be bumped to 10pm for the final two to make room for Top Gear.
