Yeah right!

Top gear = Good, Clarkson may not be able to drive but at least he has a sense of humour.

5th Gear = Pants, brown smelly ones!!!

You must be watching different programs to me.

Top Gear = the best program on TV of a whole week

5th Gear = probably the most boring car TV program ever devised

Fair comment, it makes a difference from the wife having soaps on the telly!! She hates it when theirs a car related programme on as she is relegated to the 26" rather than the 36" telly .

5th Gear is repeated tuesday nights too, so it may be best to simply put that day aside for car programs

Are you MAD! James May is one of the best reasons to watch! He has his own personality. Clarkson actually respects him. (I would guess he likes May better than Hammond)

Ive noticed over the last season or so. Hammond has become a facsimilie of JC. Which may boost egos, but makes for worse TV.

Top Gear is better than 5th Gear in every way.

Top Gear is hillarious, 5th Gear just trys too hard to be like Top Gear.

Top Gear don't test all the ****e cars nobody gives a **** about either!

James May is one of the best reasons to watch Top Gear and his columns in Top Gear magazine are a delight to read. Clarkson's schpiel is funny and entertaining but May's wit is far more subtle. Haven't watched ANY of the current 5th gear series as it is a very poor copy of Top Gear so I'll wait for the re-runs on Discovery Home & Leisure on a rainy day when I've nothing better to watch.

No loss as regards Driven! Penny "Sodding" Mallory and Mike "**** face" Brewer. That show made Plato look like some kind of TV God. But now hes with Tiff and Tom Ford. He looks decidedly average. What I hated most was the "Driven 100" where they scored the cars. And so blatently massaged the results so 1 car would win. "ooh I think 24 out of 25 as its Blue and the other cars are Red"

Only 6 episodes of TG as its up to Christmas.

Yep Top Gear is the best motoring programme, Fifth Gear is wachable but only as a filler whilst Sunday comes around, even my missus can cope with it, I think its a good formula and there is a good chemistry between the presenters, I think the banter is real rather than contrived. I think the other lot are good presenters as well, could listen to Tiff Needell all day, he's like your cool uncle !
