Anyone watching Top Gear right now? It is a repeat of the episode 5 that aired only a few weeks ago on the 12th of Feb. So not only do we get seasons old episodes but now they are all repeats too? Only show I look forward to watching all week....What is up with that? :]

It states in this thread that it is a "Best Of" Top Gear episode? According to them, it's not a repeat? Time will tell!

Well I just sent this off (I wasnt going to do anything but then found out the next 2 are also fillers/repeats). Feel welcome to copy/paste or whatever...
"Why is tonight’s episode of Top Gear a repeat of Episode 5 that aired on the 12th of February 2007 (only a 2 weeks ago)? What a joke. Not only do we get seasons that are so old, but now you are showing repeats too! And the line up on your top gear website shows that your next two episodes are also repeats of past episodes this season. You finally get a decent show and then stuff it up for the loyal viewers. Bet your advertisers are not too happy. Motoring forums around Aus are rightfully full of annoyed people right now and they make up most of your audience. An explanation to your viewers would be appreciated. Regards,"

Hmm OK this Episode 7 is not a repeat of 2 weeks ago - I got it wrong.
But it is a repeat/filler episode made up of previous episodes (if that makes sense). Ep 8 and 9 are also the same as this, so for the next 3 weeks it is all repeat/filler material unfortunately...
