‘Top Gear’ Steers To Australia
Top Gear is returning to Australia for the first time in more than a decade. Paramount+ has ordered a local version of the British motoring series, which BBC Studios will produce. Hosts are music composer and car enthusiast Blair Joscelyne, Amazing Race Australia presenter Beau Ryan and actor Jonathan Lapaglia. “Top Gear Australia promises to deliver everything fans love about the show but with an Aussie twist,” said Daniel Monaghan, SVP Content & Programming, Paramount Australia & New Zealand. “We can’t wait for Jonathan, Beau and Blair to get behind the wheel of the world’s biggest car entertainment show.” Top Gear aired on Sbs in 2008-9 and then moved to Nine Network from 2010-12 before being canceled. The UK-originated format is produced in multiple territories and has been a big success around the world. The news comes, however, at a tricky time for UK Top Gear,...

McCartney tells If, "When we started The Katering Show we hoped we would get 10,000 views.
