And there is nothing on the Discovery Channel web site either ... it's completely gone. :thumbsdown: I loved watching that show, even though they were rehashed episodes. I want to see more.

Yes, I emailed them and got the same reply. That "tuning for the US audience" scares me though...don't they realize we watch because it's British?
And does anyone here watch the German "AutoMotor und Sport TV" on the San Francisco public channel? Now that's good TV!
