I'm very disappointed with Nine's screenings of top gear the shows (when ever they put them on) are riddled with ads and there is such a gap between one show and another it's ridiculous.
Perhaps you should write a letter of complaint to them. I doubt it'll help though, the head of Nine has been quoted as saying that the advertisers are Nine's customers, not the viewers.
"From Tuesday 8:30pm top gear will return on channel 9 for a new series" not sure if this means the actual new series 17 or the previous series 16 time will tell.
