Fully expected the 'prep' segments not to make it into the BBC broadcast. The bulk of the Aussie version of the "Ashes" episode was to establish the three new hosts, so those prep segments were really necessary to establish the relationships among the hosts. For the BBC version, we only needed to know that they were Top Gear presenters and that they come from an upside-down country with a funny accent.
I also suspect the 'Nigel v Bruce' thing probably means more to the Aussies than the Brits, although most of the Nigel/Bruce exchanges came in the early, non-challenge parts of the Aussie "Ashes" ep. -- TV or Not TV ....
