Sorry if this has been mentioned already, but just a reminder that Top Gear series 14 starts Sunday 15th November at 21:00 on BBC HD (and BBC2).

Fatwaz · 09-11-2009, 19:20

weebit · 10-11-2009, 11:04

Not a new series but the 2nd of this years specials, the last two being over Xmas.

LC80 · 10-11-2009, 13:46

I didn't even know Top Gear was back, so thanks for letting me know.

Yes that is a nuisance as Top Gear has 7 new episodes. And yet Dr Who which is also on BBC HD has series link.

Simon Cow · 10-11-2009, 15:44

Right so that's

Top Gear (New Series)
Dr Who (New Series)
I'm a celebrity (New Series)
and
X factor (Same old crap)

All on a bloody Sunday night!!!!!!!!

Can someone lend me a 1000TB hard drive?

davie1924 · 10-11-2009, 22:17

The last series of Top Gear was piss poor, I hope that the change of time till 9pm will perk things up.

Xinam · 10-11-2009, 23:34

Well reading the Top Gear blog, Andy Wilman said the 21:00 start is for this series only, because they didn't want to clash with X Factor!

Brin1 · 11-11-2009, 01:41

Thanks for the reminder - would have missed otherwise

Checked about half hour ago - still no series link

Although you have probably found that out by now!

MR. Macavity · 11-11-2009, 09:59

Also looking forward TG in HD - think I should be able to cope without series linking working - so it's on Sunday, the day after Saturday and the day before Monday - do I have that right? At 9pm? So when the big hand is..............

...a lot more detailed than it has been over the last few years?

thecoffeehouse · 11-11-2009, 23:05

Does anyone know if it's going to be on at 9 every week or is it just a one off for the 1st ep? It's a right pain as it clashes with House on Sky 1 so we'll probably have to watch the whole series on the iplayer if it is.

That's good to know but here in Ireland we can't record BBCHD on the HD boxes, which is a shame as I'm out that evening so I'll have to record it on BBC2NI.

i think the new series only runs till xmas and the the new 9pm start time is to avoid x factor and thats on till xmas too so looks like its every week

It would be a whole lot simpler if X Factor was just canceled.

Does that mean that they have the same target audience ? Interesting.

And the Xtra Factor after results show.

Has anyone told them that there are 7 days in a week!

Why the Sunday night overload?

My hard drive will be smoking after that lot!

(And I watch ALL the programmes)

Simon Cow · 13-11-2009, 16:10

Just checked the EPG an X factor goes on until 9:30pm so that screws that one up!

Yanson · 13-11-2009, 16:38

Is this repeated on BBC HD later in the week?
