Nice series, too bad no BBC in my location. :frown:

It's Channel 5, not BBC. You should stick with BBC, C5 is pretty much junk other than the odd good show.

What is the difference btw fifth and top gear?

They're two totally different shows, and are aired on different networks in England. Top Gear is an hour long and more comic in nature - on balance it's the more fun of the two. Fifth Fear is half an hour and has the fantastic Tiff Needell, who I generally like better than any of the Top Gear guys.

Clarkson > Needell. Needell is the better driver, but Clarkson's unique way of describing things puts him head and shoulders above Needell.

Top Gear is by far the better show. Cooler cars, leagues-better camera work, better music, and better co-hosts.

The cheap car showdown was awesome, and they capped the show with a GT3 RS vs. 360 CS. Unbelievable.
