    yeah from what i gather they're putting 1 episode into a two hour time slot. The programme length when aired on the commercial free BBC II is usually 55-63 minutes. (as opposed to 42-48 for sbs) So unless we're getting unseen footage channel 9 is going to pack an hour's worth of ads into it. Fun. but then again, who needs nine when you've got Final Gear and 1080i rips Click here to enlarge

    Well I have seen "Top Gear" last night and I timed the ads.
    32 min. give or take a min.
    Am I going to see it again? I'm not sure.

    I did watch it despite being old episode... ALOT of little comedy content was missing... it was like channel 9 cut out half the funny scenes/trivia... really didnt feel like a proper top gear episode

    If U watched the previews before 9 broadcasted the show with Bana and Clarkson talking about deadly insects, that scene didn't even make it to the actual show! WTF??
