Default Top Gear on Canadian Satelite

If any of you guys live in Canada you could watch TOPGEAR on BELL express VU, on BBC 3 it comes on at 2:00 pm or sometimes at 2:30 pm on thursdays.


The ninja were very competent hand-to-hand fighters. They were trained from birth to fight with their hands and feet. They were so skilled that they knew where and how to hit to paralyse, or even kill when needed.

We here in Canada have had TOPGEAR for a couple of years now, ever since Bell Express Vu satellite became available in 1997, we have all thee BBC channels, and yea the TOPGEAR episodes are 1 hour long, and every second week its 1/2 hour ones, but the 1 hour long one has alot of crap cars on there anyways.

Sorry for you guys in the United States, the only way you could get TOPGEAR is if you have BBC 3, you guys only got BBC 1, plus SPEED channel wont put that show on, because Speed Channel only puts shows on that they sponsor and fund. TOPGEAR is funded by the British Government.

They do have it on digital cable, my parents house have digital cable and on bbc world they get the half over version, commercials and all. It is nice to see the cars but it is not nearly half as good as the full version of the show.

I could not find it on BBCW. I am using Rogers Digital, and I use title search; nothing shows up for Top Gear?
