Fifth Gear is w@nk. It was bearable when V.B.H was on it but the last series I watched with those 2 gayers sitting on the sofa really finished it off for me.

The new fifth gear series on discovery is really quite good. Like top gear too but really their both different programmes. Top gear is 3 blokes twatting around in cars where as fifth gear seems to be more aimed at the people that really love cars.

TG for an entertainment show. 5th Gear for an informative car programme.
5th Gear is what TG used to be all those years ago when Tiff, Quentin etc were on it.

When is the new season of topgear on. Did they not have the budget for the summer series. I always like the Christmas specials, its becoming a must see at Christmas just like Only Fools And Horses was. I Dont mind Fith Gear but sometimes find myself forwarding through some of it.

Top Gear if you want to watch three old enough to know better blokes acting like lads, spouting bollox and dissing cars we could AFFORD to drive, while being paid wads to drive around in stuff most people can only dream of.

Fifth gear if you want to be informed about stuff you MIGHT be able to afford.

Hammond is a complete wnak who should have stayed with that silly kids' science programme, the manic little tw@

TG used to be the DB's however is far too scripted for me now, you can see it in their faces.

5th G is ruined by the permed man trying to be a member of TG. They are trying to be funnny to no avail.

In my humble opinion there is no decent, informative, and comical car show anymore. Still would watch both but I no longer rush home for it.

Top Gear would have been better if they had actually hired actors that could work to a script instead of journalists that really can't act...

Fifth Gear should be called Drift Gear.

Every episode seems to show them trying to see who can slide a car the furthest.

For example, I wonder how many people in the market for a new Bentley would be put off because it doesn't drift as well as the old model..........none.

Top gear

Fifth gear= copycat+ tiff needles stupid face pulling+ vicky spunk bucket Henderson annoying voice + the other 2 long haired *****= high blood pressure annoyed for the rest of the night and sticking pins in your eyes!!!!

I'd rather watch TOWIE or Geordie shore and I hate those 2 programs more than car thieves

Agreed. Tiff and Plato drifting every car they can get their hands on! Plato did a small yet useless test on the new GT86/BRZ and it involved drifting like every other 'test'
