ifth Gear (formerly 5th Gear) is a motoring magazine show on British television channel Five. The programme finished its tenth season on 18 December 2006. Fifth Gear first aired in 2003 as a replacement to the original incarnation of the BBC show Top Gear, which was cancelled in 2001 due to low ratings. Five originally wanted to carry on using the Top Gear name, however the BBC refused. Several of Top Gear's ex-presenters, including Quentin Willson, Tiff Needell and Vicki Butler-Henderson were hired by Five to present Fifth Gear. After the completion of Fifth Gear's first series, the BBC relaunched Top Gear in a new hour long format presented by Jeremy Clarkson.
