Default Fifth Gear - A marked improvement

Really enjoyed Fifth Gear tonight.

Was a joy to watch and had loads of useful stuff on.

Warm hatches

4X4's

First cars.

MX stunt riding

30k Sports coupes

Great variety tonight

I'm sick to death of watching bloody caravans getting blown up on Top Gear and other stuff that is totally irellavant to motoring - it might be in the name of entertainement but i'm not interested.

Ok Fifth Gear some of the presenting is not on a par compared to the 3 stooges but Tiff and Plato are a genuine great double act.

Hats off to them they're heading in the right direction

That variety, and actually testing cars is what TG needs to get back to.

I admit I watch it when it's on. It's what a car show for the masses should be, not over egged mid life crisis slapstick whose presenters egos far outpace any ability they may possess. I get a bit peed off watching supercar **** on TopGear.

its usually interesting fifth gear, last night and the previous weeks were a marked improvement.

the first car feature was a good thing to have especially for the younger generation and parents.

i still prefer top gear but only as its more of a laugh.

I think this series of 5th Gear has been good - it helps that vbh seems to have stopped squealing like a pig everytime she gets behind the wheel.

Tiff and Jason are always good entertainment

I cant stand that women on it.

Must admit, I think the show would be better without her.

Tiff & Plato have good banter.

Tom & Johnny have good banter.

She does f*ckall but squeal. Lost her looks now too.
