Fifth Gear, a Top Show?

Advantages: Informative as well as fun.
Disadvantages: Its not all fun!

Fifth Gear was created by Channel Five when the BBC canned Top Gear in 2001, some of the presenters from the show including Tiff Needell and Vicki Butler Henderson moved over to Channel Five to form the show you know and love. Presenters: Vicki Butler Henderson: VBH started racing karts when she was 12 years old and was also an instructor at the Silverstone race circuit so she is no stranger to speed, her knowledge of cars and making them go fast ...
...the fifth gear Shootout. Vicki is also one of the lead presenters who hosts the show from the Fifth Gear cafe. Tom "The Wookie" Ford: Tom is the big hairy bloke that co-hosts the show. He's not a racer but has experience in motoring journalism so he presents the reviews on normal(ish) cars like Fiat Panda, Land Rover and is very proud of the feature he created titled "Its new but is it any good?". He can also be seen mucking around with co presenter ...

Review of 5th Gear

GIVING AWAY HOUSES IN FRANCE.

Advantages: a NEW HOUSE FOR A COUPLE THAT SOMETIMES DESERVE IT.
Disadvantages: THE LOCALS ARE SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS.

...how do you ask for hot water tanks and alterations ? Most Brits with holiday homes here spend all their holidays working like mad just to make their home liveable. Just thought I should get my say in here because France can be a dream, but really, do you believe that anything is given away for nothing these days ???? Think on. ...

Worth Watching

Advantages: entertaining
Disadvantages: none

Murder Detectives is worth watching, it provides a very good insight into the forensic attributes of case solving. The programe is documentary in style and not a actors series as the title may suggest. There are some facinating insights into the solving of crimes and the program does produce some grisly details at times, making it what it is about. The series does educate you about the methods used to detect murders although American based, everything ...

Review of Murder Dectectives

Definitely not Top Gear

Advantages: It has good facts
Disadvantages: Bad competitions

This is a good Television program but it isn't as good as Top Gear. As you may have noticed the presenters are from the old Top Gear. They are good presenters but the program isn't up to standards. I also hate the competitions. They hardly ever give away a good car. The best car in Briton wasn't an Aton Martin DB9 or A Rolls Royce Phantom but instead a Mini. I accept it's a good car but the only reason why it was the best is because it was the only ...

entertainer

Advantages: providing good entertainment
Disadvantages: I keep getting a fuzzy picture

For most of those years, the program sat proudly in the top 10 viewing ratings for a very long time, but as time passed those figures, like everything in time was beginning to drop and BBC, rather than carry a dead donkey, took it off the TV listings. This was so they could think of a revamp for the show – in other words it was gone and it was never coming back. In a similar introduction sequence, I was greeted with a set-up, not too dissimilar ...
...cars mainly, the ‘what’s coming up on the show today’ part and the even the same presenters had all gone ‘5’.Having been a Top Gear fan for a while, I tuned in for the show on a Monday, at 8.00pm expecting a show, which mimicked Top Gear. To be honest, I wasn’t far off. thank u ...
