He's been off with Tom Ford doing some shows for BBC America, so may have indeed left 5th Gear (for the short term?)

He is definitely still in it. Full episode guides for the new series are here:

There is a programme called Head to Head and THIS is what 5G should be aiming for. May be even web-based, not sure.

Was an ok episode and included a head to head with the Golf R and WRX STi.

Enjoyable easy viewing although I do find Jonny Smith a tad irksome at times.

I think he's the best of the presenters. Vicki is ultra annoying. Tiff is just a parody of himself now and was never that interesting as a presenter in the first place, though he's undoubtedly a talented driver. Thought that Plato was a good example of a driver who can present when he was on the show.

Totally agree, Johnny and Jason were good, I can take or leave VBH......but I really can't bear the ultra smug Tiff Niddell, or that new bloke. Regarding Tiff - it came to a head with me when they did an episode where he and Jason went to a rally school, honestly he was SO full of himself I really just wanted to kick the feckin' screen in!
