Not sure if you realise the history of Fifth Gear - the presenters used to
do Top Gear, but couldn't get a resolution they liked when contract renewal
came up, and Channel 5 gave them an offer they couldn't refuse, so they
moved to Fifth Gear, lock, stock and barrel. I always felt that Fifth Gear
was a real good take on the name of the show they had come from.

Top Gear now having lost all its presenters hired back Jeremy Clarkson who
used to do Top Gear, but had left a couple of years earlier, to do the show
again, and at that stage the format changed to the one they have now where
it is all shot in an old airport hanger.

They do really work well as complementary shows, with Tiff Nedell and Vicki
Butler-Henderson having race driving pedigrees, and Jeremy Clarkson and his
co-presenters having a very laid back attitude to the whole thing.
