Original TG episodes
Posted by InspectorDeep545@reddit | thegrandtour | View on Reddit | 48 comments
All the TG episodes with the orangutan, slow and buttons in a Google drive. Last time I posted this it got deleted by mods and I got suspended for 2 days, so just DM me and I'll send it you. JC has said it was forums like this that contributed to the success of the show when it was brought back in 2002.

Okay we will need to go a bit off the end here so I hope you know how to use this,
Kichigai@reddit
It's been eon, but I don't have the private key.
Choice-Biscotti8826@reddit
That’s a public key, it’s so that you can send me encrypted Messages. You can respond with your public key and we can make this E2E
Kichigai@reddit
Sorry, it's been a long time since I've used PGP. Biggest loss in the consumer shift to web apps and phone-based apps has been that we no longer get plugins for things like that.
Choice-Biscotti8826@reddit
They don’t want you using that. They wanna see and sell everything
Kichigai@reddit
And in situations where that just simply isn't acceptable (e.g. healthcare) they want to sell you the tool to make it acceptable.
Choice-Biscotti8826@reddit
My views for the spread of digital goods varies drastically with my view on the spread of tangible goods.
Eastern-Bluejay-8912@reddit
Not at all. An I’m just asking if there is an archive source
Choice-Biscotti8826@reddit
Well there is, it’s just on internet archive it’s on more let’s say freedom sites
InspectorDeep545@reddit (OP)
This deserves to be saved.
Choice-Biscotti8826@reddit
Torrents are forever mate.
Kichigai@reddit
lol, the hell they are. In the 2010s Nine Inch Nails released all of the video footage shot by the band photographer on BitTorrent for fans to remix into their own “crowd sourced” concert videos. These days best you can do is like 86% completion.
InspectorDeep545@reddit (OP)
I am an orangutan when it comes to the Internet and computers.
Choice-Biscotti8826@reddit
Well download them for a start that way you can always upload them again if they get taken down.
InspectorDeep545@reddit (OP)
Everyone save this link before it gets deleted
Choice-Biscotti8826@reddit
Better yet, download the files yourself, make a torrent file and start it up.
InspectorDeep545@reddit (OP)
Agreed. Make backups of everything.
Thatnoreldit@reddit
Yeees! Please 🙏 how great!
Element_905@reddit
Is this the link that has the absolute doodoo quality copies of the show?
InspectorDeep545@reddit (OP)
The Dvds were made from sub par copies of the original broadcasts, and don't have the original music
ProAtTresspass@reddit
Im pretty sure the music isn't different but yes there is some some editing but not on some things you'd expect. Don't be fearful of posting free to access public sourced content I will reverse any ban I ain't scared.
InfiniteSun6892@reddit
If the mods suspended you for keeping Top Gear alive when you can’t buy the dvds anymore, fuck em.
ProAtTresspass@reddit
Ain't no one getting banned for this on my watch.
JMGTR@reddit
Can watch them all for free on bbc I player anyway
jazzymusicvibes@reddit
Pretty sure that was the previous mod team
But anywayyy
InspectorDeep545@reddit (OP)
The link I have, some episodes have foreign subtitles like Dutch because the show is MASSIVE over there, and some of the UK dvds use really weird formatting but it's shocking how the BBC treats this show.
TSMKFail@reddit
You can just watch them on iPlayer or get the TG v2 torrent
InspectorDeep545@reddit (OP)
Very much appreciated. I believe that people should have as many different ways to access the show. I player needs a TV licence in the UK (lol no) and I don't torrent anymore. But honestly thanks.
JMGTR@reddit
Correction.
I player wants you to have a TV licence but it doesn’t need you to have one. It just asks if you do and you select yes or no with no checks after
bobbygamerdckhd@reddit
TG v3 is supposed to be coming by xmas
yeetgod__@reddit
iplayer is for british people only :(
existential_chaos@reddit
And some episodes have been edited (Richard’s return episode after his Dragster crash comes to mind) or have different music due to licenses expiring.

DM me
Ichthyocentaur@reddit
I downloaded all seasons from tpb a while ago. I can seed it again and share many marvelous and ingenious moments with other folk.
InspectorDeep545@reddit (OP)
I wholeheartedly agree with what you are doing and I JC has said so in the past. It was people spreading pirated episodes on things like Final Gear that allowed the show (and 5th gear with Tiff Needell) to be shown to a younger generation when the original show that started in the 70s ended
