Premiere date based on editor-posted promo[edit]
Robberey posted a link to a promo on YouTube that he uploaded to source the premiere date for TGA. It may be accurate, but given the promo is not on BBC America's website, isn't running on BBC America yet that I can see, isn't on the usual motor media sites such as Jalopnik, and hasn't appeared on the usual TV sites, we can't be sure the date is accurate. Moreover, the promo comes from who knows where, and was posted by the editor using it as a source, which makes it questionable. I've reverted, and would suggest we hold off on the adding the premiere date until the promo is posted online by BBC America or there's some confirmation of the date by reliable secondary sources. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 17:52, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, man. There is a version, uncropped, on the BBC America Youtube Channel meanwhile. But it isn't officially accessable outside the US. The one I had put in was just a cropped one, ripped from the facebook page (video also not officially available outside the US). I put in a new link and see if it works later. Its the one to the official BBC America Video on youtube but I cant chrxk if it works, because I have to stay on mobile for the rest of the day with not cjance to use proper VPN and check if it works. You are in the US Margi, so you might check out the official channel.--Robberey1705 (talk) 21:14, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPhZebuibXA [[1]] is your link to the official video on the official account, btw. I got it but did not make the video work. Have fun with it...--Robberey1705 (talk) 22:03, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, man nothing. It wasn't on YouTube when I checked, as I said above. As is your usual practice, you fail to assume good faith and think the worst of another editor. Entertain the idea that you might have jumped the gun. Moreover, the source does not indicate the broadcast pattern, so that's been removed. And DO NOT refer to me other than by my full user name. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 22:16, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Season Numbers[edit]
Watching the show today, the presenters refer to the 2022 season as "Season 2 of the show" in the Station Wagon episode (numbering is erroneous on iPlayer) - and is also listed as season 2 on iPlayer. Given the gap between Season 1 and Season 2 as per this page, would it be better to change the season numbers to be reflective of the shows own terminology? - however unclear this appears to be.
