Top Gear Australia, Series 3—aka The Channel 9 version—makes its debut on Tuesday at 7:30pm. The new series kicks off with a 90 minute show dubbed “The Ashes Special” which will see the Aussies take on the Poms. Could the new series jump the shark in its very first episode?
Below is the text from the IceTV guide:
“Cricket passions transfer to automobiles when the Aussie Top Gear mavens, Shane Jacobson, Ewen Page and Steve Pizzati, go to England to take on the originals – Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond on their home turf. A bit like the cricket actually.”
Ewen Page also has a preview on the Top Gear website. Let’s hope its not as cringe worthy as it sounds.

Is this Tuesday as in Tomorrow Lima? If so, I better get the PVR programmed!
Yes mate, tomorrow … or today, now!
please make it stop
is this on sbs HD? not listed on the other SBS channels on the EPG – shite
doh its on 9 hehehe
that’ll be the only episode i’ll watch – cos the originals are in it…. other than that, i’m with mark – please make it stop.
I reckon it’ll be better then SBS’s effort.
From the promo’s Shane v the Rhino looks entertaining.
Its a bogan mockery of a fantastic motoring program. A terrible rehash. Shane Jacobson??? He is a bubbling idiot from that ‘toilet’ movie. What a great export we have here 😐
I liked it.
Why even bother. Like most, I too suffered through the first show, never again will I put my kids through watching another AU TG, It really is sad.
give it a go moaners…its bloody good. If you wanna see rubbish try US version!
WTF? Is there only 3 episodes in this Series???
Where is the rest of it? I’m getting sick of UK replays. Ch 9 really sucks. Bloody old boys club, just as usual.
Word is…Ch 9 is havin’ dramas coz Shane and Ewen hate each others guts, which brought the show to a halt. What a shame, but that’s just typical for people full of ego and full of shit…in this case Shane and Ewen. Morons.
That’s a nice juicy rumour! 😛
[…] lads in action. Perhaps it has taken that long for Ewen and Shane to patch up their differences, as one reader suggested last […]
