5th gear cancelled
Never really watched 5th gear as religiously as TG but still sad to see it go

Quote:
According to the Daily Mail, the show will no longer be produced :
Fifth Gear host Vicki Butler-Henderson has been forced into the pits, with TV bosses confirming the show has been axed.
The channel Five programme was regarded as the main competitor to BBC2’s Top Gear.
Butler-Henderson, 37, had been an integral part of it since it was launched seven years ago.
But the latest series, which ended in July, never attracted more than a million viewers and Five decided it should be the last.
A source at the station claimed the decision had nothing to do with budget cuts. It is likelier its failure to make it on to the list of Five’s top 30 watched programmes had a negative impact on advertising revenue.
Fifth Gear first aired in 2002 after the original incarnation of Top Gear was ‘rested’ in 2001 due to poor ratings.
Several former Top Gear presenters, including Butler-Henderson were hired by Five to present the show.
The self-confessed tomboy raced karts as a child and competed in Formula First.
As one of the few high-profile women motoring experts, she is not likely to be off the circuit for long. Her husband Phil Churchward is series director of Top Gear.
Five said it was proud of Fifth Gear but that it was ‘time to try something new’.

Good riddance. The initial concept idea for the show has eroded to a car show with trivial humour and unconvincing presentation.

I agree with u Luw. Their attemp at being funny is anything but, and I hate their pathetic pot shots at Top Gear. Sad really.

I read somewhere that the lefties/green/morons wanted girl power on Top Gear...
...on the other hand, they wanted TG to stop testing cars as cars are evil.

I'm going to miss Tiff and Plato and their battles. Very entertaining. But it looks like Tiff is back with Top Gear.

So Tiff is going to join the Top Gear trio group?
That should be fun.

Watch Clarkson's trailer for the new movie called Duel. Tiff and Stig are racing together. Maybe Tiff is just a guest in the show but it was many years ago Jeremy and Tiff worked together.
