... Makes the baby jesus cry.

The editing to fit the adverts on it is frankly shocking, what happened to the news?

If i wasn't on the honkiest internet connection ever i'd download it off final gear.

All that is said in this post is true.

So very annoying. And Telstra annoys me just as much. I'm on broadband technically. My download speed is around 18k a second max.

I hope I don't get accused of making this up. I'm a fantacist and you know.

I seem to remember SBS claiming that is how the BBC sell it to them. I'm not convinced myself because it was only recently that SBS got adverts so they would have had a 1 hour slot to fill anyway.

I noticed that season 2 of TG Aus is supposed to be going ahead minus Charlie Cox.

Actually I heard something similar - the BBC doesn't think OS audiences would be interested in The News section.

This is the reason why I download it, each episode is about 350Mb, but as I have super fast broadband at home (iinet), it's no problem.

Fifth Gear is running in the uk at the mo, and when I remember, I download that too.

I wish they weren't bringing the Oz TG back, but lets hope they have learnt their lessons from last season, and we get a better programme.

i torrent all episodes of tg and they run over an hour with out any adds so with them it will be about 1 hour 15 a hard spot to fill in tv land.

Yes tg oz is coming back, James morrison is the new host (the guy who plays the sax) he has a huge collection of cars and a bit of personality unlike cox
