Looks like only 6 episodes in this summer season.
That`s the norm due to the high cost of massaging Clarksons ego production

Wonder how much he gets paid.. Think i read somewhere it was in the millions.

As I understand it, Messrs Clarkson, Hammond and May own the rights to and have editorial control of the programme and all its associated merchandising. Things like TopGear live, and the various adventures probably don't leave much time for making much over 15-20 episodes each year :-\

Factor in the BBCs obligations elsewhere, and what we get is probably as much as the scheduling allows :y

I may be wrong but my understanding is that Clarkson owns (or owned as istr he sold them for mega bucks ?) some of the rights,but not May or Hammond ?  :-\
