I have a question. I have seen many topgear-5thgear episodes, and ive read a couple of topgera magazine issues, but im relatively new to the series and i would like to now, what is the connection between these 2 shows..

Tnx! 8)

^^^^^ Hehehehe no kidding...?

There is no link whatsoever

Tiff and Jeremy worked together in the "previous" TG... then it stopped and that's when Vicki and Tiff moved to another TV channel (Channel 5), and started 5th Gear... as for the BBC, they created the "new" Top Gear and got Jeremy for it

Oh, and since this answer was given several times, I am sure a good search could have helped

i think "they're both british" is the best connection

I think the word "GEAR" in both names make some ppl confused, myself included in the begining.

5th gear name comes from the fact that is on channel five.. if you're interested

And of course a bit of a dig at the BBC who had just scrapped TG sacking Tiff, Viks, Quentin etc

As far as I know they stopped airing Top gear for sometime and that is when Tiff became a 5th gear presenter. Then the BBC decided to bring back Top gear and they reemployed Clarkson. That is how their careers seperatated as far as I know.

Personally, I think Tiff's excellent driving skills would be best appreciated on topgear, I think when his contract runs out, BBC should grab him from channel five, then we can see some quality driving! Big mouth jeremy is ok dont get me wrong, but Tiff is far better at taking a car to its limits. also we cant forget Viki!

Leave quintin and james to channel5
