Fifth Gear is good, but it is more of a consumer program in the style of the old classic Top Gear that Tiff, Quentin and our Jezza cut their telly teeth on..
Top Gear is more of an entertainment show with a motoring theme which even my wife enjoys!! It's head and shoulders above 5th gear in terms of quality and features, it just never ever stays on long enough!! Almost as soon as the BBC start with ads saying "Top Gear is back.." Jezza is telling us "That's the end of the series, so long and see you in the next series!!"
Now, being a car & bike nut I like both shows, but I feel 5th gear shouldn't try to emulate Top Gear and keep their own style to the show.. It just goes to show how good top Gear is as they've not had to try to re-invent themselves every season.. ;0)
Love VBH, Tiff & Plato and don't mind Tom or Johnny.. But they can't hold a candle to the TG Trio (oh, and The Stig!). Top Gear forever!
