I know its not everyones cup of tea, so please dont let this turn into a top gear is shit thread. if you dont like, then dont watch.

A family friend is high up at the BBC and told me this last night. Series 19 wont be on TV until 2013. With the Olympics being held in London, the airfield where Top Gear is filmed is being treated as an emergency airfield if needed, so filming cant happen. There may be a one off at Christmas, but the series wont be happening for another 8 months!!!

That's a shame as it was actually something decent to watch in between all the usual crap on the BBC nowadays

thatll be an exhausting wait

something good finally comes out of the London Olympics.

keep you keks on I don't mind it really

Gutted.

No big surprise is it. With all the stuff going around London for the games you can see why they have knocked it on the head until next year.

I am surprised they havnt tried to get onto 1 of the so many race tracks around the UK but I think thats too much money for them to splash out on with the costs of the Olympics and other stuff and the cut backs you can see why they have delayed it.

No doubting there will be a Xmas speical they might even do a big a adventure somewhere.

I thought I'd read somewhere that it had been moved back to avoid a schedule clash with the x factor?

I'd rather see Top gear than x-factor geez..... what a wait this will be....

This is what I was told.

fuck's sake.
