Good to go. Series 14 of Clarkson, Hammond and May finally gets the green light from Nine programmers.

Nine has announced its premiere slot for Top Gear, the show it detoured away from SBS.

It will begin at 7:30pm Tuesday February 16th.

Nine begins the show with the first episode from Series 14, which aired in the UK in November. Eric Bana is special guest on the show.

It will be followed with a Top Gear: Olympic Winter Games special, from February 2006, which was aired on SBS over summer. But it will lead in nicely to the network’s own Olympics highlights package at 9:30pm.

Hammond and May take an Aston Martin DBS Volante, a Ferrari California and a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder to Romania in search of “the greatest road in the world.” James makes a rare appearance on the race track to compare two absurdly powerful limos; Jeremy and Richard settle the thorny issue of which company has made the greatest number of truly brilliant cars; and Richard invents the brand new sport of airport vehicle racing.

  1. Watched Top Gear on BBC Knowledge last night with very few ads. They may be older shows but is entirely watchable just like previously SBS with the new shows. We’ll see how this stacks against Nine’s presentation style.

  2. only one problem if put between two and a half men and the footy show.where does that leave those of us who watch Getaway and the Crime Shows or whatever it is that follows

  3. Seven must be running scared. They’ve sicked TodayTonight on Topgear with a story about how the show turns innocent young drivers into crazed hoons.

    Could TodayTonight really be any more pathetic?
