I just hope they don't produce a low rent, red neck version and butcher what it truly is...A hysterically informative car show that is more international than just European.

We both like "Gavin and Stacy", but have to watch it with subtitles. The problem with all three shows, however, is that it's on the BBC, which Americans understand as "PBS with bigger words more foreign people". The BBC is very poorly marketed in the US, making it tough to break reach an audience. I have friends who watch TG, but probably don't know what number channel (#241 where I live) or what time it is on.
