The BBC site says it's to be broadcast on March 15.

It's going to be the Spider Unicorn!

They postponed the three new episodes with Clarkson in them according to the last report I read so its possible that they may never show them.

However a former director of BBC television commented that they could try to continue "Top Gear" without Clarkson, but "it would be a bit like the Musketeers without D'Artagnan."

Latest would hint that perhaps we will get the episode we all want to see....!

"
As a contingency measure, BBC Worldwide is to offer foreign broadcasters Top Gear programming that has not been aired before in their respective markets. “We are working on supplying international broadcast partners with alternative content,” said a spokesman for BBC Worldwide.
