Auto Trader 24 on BBC Top Gear

Dear all,

Jonathan Gill of MPA Media has been speaking at length with BBC 'Top Gear' this week regarding the programme. Ideally we wanted to see it in this week's programme to keep it topical, but the producers have an Aston Martin new car launch that they have to give space to, so if it went into this week's programme it would have been condensed into a 30 second slot.

As the footage that they have got from the event is really good and makes a good piece, they don't want to do that (and we don't want them to either!) so they are currently looking at perhaps the first weekend of July, which might make it July 4.

This is obviously not confirmed yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we have further news.

Best wishes, Martin
