Thumbs up Top Gear Australia - Date Announced

TOP GEAR AUSTRALIA - DATE ANNOUNCED

Top Gear Australia PresentersThe highly anticipated motoring entertainment program, Top Gear Australia, will debut on SBS Television on Monday 29 September at 7:30pm, ten months after SBS, BBC Worldwide and Freehand TV announced the exciting initiative.

The 8-episode series is the first local version of popular BBC program Top Gear to debut and Australian hosts Charlie Cox, Warren Brown and Steve Pizzati have spent the past busy months travelling throughout the country filming a hilarious, fun, informative and locally inspired show.

Calling themselves "the ugliest men on television" the comical Australian larrikins have tested a diverse range of cars, talked, joked and sung their way through countless hours behind the wheel, have donned wool vests, top hats and goggles for stories - although not all in one outing, and have competed against each other in amusing, and sometimes bordering on the side of ridiculous, challenges. But most importantly, they have had a "darn good time".

And then, there's The Stig.

TOP GEAR AUSTRALIA - JOIN THE STUDIO AUDIENCE

The Top Gear Australia team is in full swing with production taking place around the country. The antics of Charlie Cox, Warren Brown and Steve Pizzati will be unveiled soon as SBS presents the first series of Top Gear Australia and... you could be part of the show.

I don't think they will be as good as the original Top Gear crew. I just hope the car tests are not biased infomercials like the ones on "The car show" that usually never bag anything about the car as they drive it sedately on the road. It smells of the car company paying for a good review.

pfft, so the SBS competition to become a host of the show was just a media stunt?
