Britain's "5th Gear" on SPEED @9pm
Well, we all know that 99% of the programming on SPEED TV totally sucks, but this program is part of the other 1%.
It's not
Top Gear but no one can complain since we don't get that particular BBC show here.
In my estimation, the British automotive press is far-and-away without equal. Their humor, candor, and thoroughness has yet to be challenged.
5th Gear features Tiff, longtime sidekick of
Top Gear 's Jeremy Clarkson.
Always a good time.
Two episodes will be shown tonight starting at 9pm EST on SPEED TV. Check it out.

Dang, missed it! I gotta find the time of the next one here on the Left Coast.
Off topic, since I have digital cable, and there is a BBC channel, is there any way I can get Top Gear over here...? Please?

5th gear is pretty good.
Are you guys getting the new episodes or reruns?

they seemed to be reruns. but they were pretty cool. It kind of sucked at the same time because both episodes seemed to have been cut off at the end. For some reason i thought that show was an hour long. whatever. Speed began to suck as soon as fox bought them. glad to see they are reverting to the old days of the Speedvision.

I think they are a few minutes short of an hour.
