Dr Who is a horrible IP for a game. The show can be entertaining but I stopped watching it a few years ago as it devolved into utter B-list garbage.

Turn up the difficulty and you have to beat the stig.

I love Top Gear but I have a hard time imagining how a game would work out based on it.

However, I can see how Doctor Who could be a great storyline. Perhaps even a Time Wars MMO?

Then it sounds like you missed the entirely new Doctor Who show where they modernized the series and created two other new series to go along with it. Torchwood and I forget the name of the other one.

I love the new series.

I'm sure if the Doctor Who games are designed along the lines of the new series that they'll do just fine.

A Top Gear game could be fun if you had some focus on their events like finding a car for uner $2000 and race it across country. Or entering a drag race with a fighter jet. I do think the episode with the Lotus and Apache playing cat and mouse would be great. Without these little gems it would be just another Gran Turismo clone.

Pffft, there's already Top Gear games. Top Gear, Top Gear 2000, and Top Gear 3000

Great a Top Gear game! That means we'll get a shorter, censored version of it 3 years after Britain does!

Well, GT5's going to have the TG test track, so what else can bbc make ? Africa/America/Asia specials ?

 

[Parsian]

Hey, BBC America has gotten better. Last Christmas' episode of Doctor Who was on TV last June, and this Christmas' episode aired only 2 weeks after it did in the UK.

Honestly, BBC America would do better to air the shows at the same time. The piracy of new episodes is so great that at Comicon2009, David Tennant (ie the 10th doctor) stated "Tonight, you're going to see the American premier - the legalpremier of Planet of the Dead".

Though, BBC just reminds me of the Binghamton University frisbee team.

The normal nickname is the Binghamton BearCats. For some reason the firsbee team's jerseys sport a large black rooster with BBC at the center...

I adore Top Gear but a video game, no thanks!

I love Top Gear. The hosts are what really make it though. Not sure how the functional parts of the show will work in the video game. With games like Gran Turismo (if it ever comes out), it will have a hard time pulling in the numbers I think. I'm glad BBC America is stepping up the game and delivering the shows faster to us. And their HD quality is fantastic.

They sensor oh c*ck (which James says at least several times an episode) and mainly what I meant by censored was they remove the news and ALL the talking between the films... but keep the Star in a Reasonably priced car (WHY? most Americans don't know who half of them are).
