why do 5th gear even bother when they're on the same channel?

not sure why, but i found 5th gear really really boring because it sounds like they're trying too hard to be like top gear.

top gear is SHIT. scripted and wank. but so much better than 5th gear.

even the intro. 5th gear is like ''today we drive a 3024ght with 4htrj and johnny gaybum races a book''

whereas top gear are like ''today jim drives a car over a bridge and i drive wearing a small hat''

i dont get it... why is 5th gear so much shitter than top gear which is shit anyway?

When top gear went "funny" a few years ago, 5th gear tried to be the one offering serious reviews but it is just so sh1t.


BTW, they weren't originally on Dave you know. FYI BBC do Top Gear and Channel 5 did 5th Gear

5th Gear wasn't cancelled? It's still running.

I think 5th gear is better than top gear, on 5th gear they actually review and show you cars you can afford. Rather than cars you're unlikely to ever even drive let alone buy.

I liked 5th Gear, it was alright, something to watch while Top Gear wasn't on Thumbs Up Top Gear used to be good, but it all seems to be going down hill. Still looking forward to the new series this summer Dance!

She has a mouth shaped like the back of a bin lorry, you lot need to get your standards up or go to specsavers. Or it may just be me not liking to slum it. Mr. Green

As I watch Dave a lot Mr. Green I've realised 5th gear have copied A LOT of the tests Top Gear do like the R8 vs 911 test was exactly the same.

5th Gear = Tiff and Plato racing each other
Top Gear = Hammond and Clarkson racing each other

Overall 5th gear is a bit boring, even though it's staged Top Gear wins every time. Although I like it when 5th gear do bikes sometimes

(Yes I have no life)

Because they're produce to be shown on rival channels then picked by Dave as repeats 'together' - divvy. Laughing

I gotta say I'm with Finglonga - she's not anything special.

I reckon she's a munter. Neutral

With 5th Gear, they set out to offer real buyers real advice, not play round in Lambo's every show like big kids with £££ to spare.

How often do Top Gear do a review on a cheapo first time buyers car?- and how often do they review and just leave it be without playing "car-ball" on some ice rink abroad? Wink


Fifth Gear that I've seen never do childish pranks or modifications to cars purely for entertainment value, they talk about what matters to parents getting cars for their kids.

But where is the fun in that. Laughing

Also 5th gear rarely talks negatively about cars. Overall they will say each car is brilliant whereas Top Gear say it how it is, therefore 5th gear is not as good as it could be. If they said bad things, then the manufacturers wouldn't lend them cars to test and they would have no show.
