Top Gear Season 10, now available on iTunes
Chalk it up to sheer coincidence, but the day after Top Gear launched its U.S.-specific site, BBC America has begun offering the entire 10th season of the British television show on iTunes (iTunes link).
In Series 10, Clarkson, Hammond and May attempt to cross the English Channel in their shoddily modified amphibious cars, test the Caparo T1, race a trio of RVs in the inaugural Motorhome Grand Prix and – in our favorite episode of the season – cross the Kalahari Desert in 20-year-old beaters. Shows are available either ala carte for $1.99 an episode or you can purchase a season pass for $14.99. And although we've already watched season 10 (and 11) at least twice, it's nice to know there's a legal means of getting our fix before Top Gear returns on November 2nd.

Well, clearly quite a few people care, or they wouldn't post it. Just like the Mustang posts, the GT-R posts, the and the Camaro posts. Don't like a particular post? Don't read it. You do have that choice available to you, despite what some of the whiners around here would like to believe.

Season 10 was boss. The only thing that sucks about the iTunes versions is that the length is cut by 10 minutes from the original version and the music is different.

It's cause they have to cut out all the America bashing.

maybe and I am just saying maybe because to the extend I know the show is not making any new ones for now. coming soon. I am tired of watching them on you tube, and my computer takes decades to download one via torrent. bring them to Screen TV.

Season 10 premiered in the fall of 2007. Hardly what you'd call 3+ year old episodes.
BBC runs two seasons (called series) a year.

Do you know that they re-dub the episodes into American English?

I saw a trailer for the new season on TV earlier today. Looks like theres going to be some good stuff like them bashing around in HGV's and what looked like that mystery Nurburgring car that was posted on here a while ago

Series 10, Episode 7, where their challenge is to prove that British Leyland cars of the 70's weren't all rubbish, is probably my all time favorite, and I have every episode from Final Gear.
The shot of Jezza trying to get up the hill to test the parking brake, and the "bits" falling off his car on the rough road are some of the funniest things I've seen on Top Gear.

The itunes season 10 list is missing the true episode 4. I blindly buy and download only to discover it is episode 5 and they only list a total of 9 not 10. Why isn't the Africa episode listed? Figures its the only one I wanted.
