There's a pretty decent copy on YouTube broken into 6 pieces, make sure to click on the high quality link. If that's not good enough, bittorrent is your friend.

The only drawback to having a TiVo and not Comcast's crappy box is no On Demand.

All the episodes (even the new season 11 one) are on finalgear.com, as nice 700mb torrents. That's the best site to go to if you want to archive the episodes to HDD.

+1 This is the best place to get the ENTIRE 1 hour long, unedited (commercial free) show.

I just watched all 6 parts on YouTube... I'd never seen the playlist feature before.
Link - maybe that'll work.

These are only edited versions of select shows. They cut out at least 15 minutes of each episode. No good.

This is kind of random but if you just want to stream some sometimes you can find them on gametrailers.com Users post them up on there. It's better than youtube because a whole episode will be split at most into 2 parts, vs. 6 on youtube. The aforementioned torrents are the best. I just have it set to record from BBC America on the cable DVR :)

Sure did. Available in HQ as well.

Is this show shown in HD in the UK? Are there any HD torrents?

That's the usual size for HR HDTV rips. When I get 720p HDTV rips they're usually 1.4GB a piece. Also, I just get Top Gear from IRC or usenet... which happens to be my favorite place to get 720p content from... but it's going away. Darn you, RR :(.

The FinalGear torrents are NOT in HD. The show isn't even filmed in HD to begin with. Season 11 was supposed to be shot in 1080 but it was thrown out at the last minute.

Most of the episodes on FinalGear are about 350 MB for 60 minutes of video. Some are under 300. A few newer seasons are 700MB.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I've never actually spent much time looking at the resolution but I've always been impressed by the quality I've gotten.

What are they under?

Entertainment> BBC America> ? I think? Maybe Free TV>Entertainment>BBC...? I'm not at home at the moment.
