Why does everyone automatically assume that all of Australia has seen the uncut version BBC shows???? I guarantee mainstream Australia don't know of any other version.

I remember SBS responded to protests from fans about the shorten version compared to BBC. This was their response.

With all Top Gear UK episodes SBS shows the BBC international version which is provided by BBC Worldwide who distributes the show. On occasion there are some segments on the UK version of the show which are not cleared for international distribution (usually because of music rights or other international rights issues). SBS always shows the entirety of any episode of Top Gear UK it receives. There was no independent editing from SBS

So no matter how much you ********** and moan, we will NEVER get the uncut footage as it's out of nine's hands.
