Chris Harris in the preview for next week's 5th Gear?
Discussion
Well to be fair the BBC did throw a sizeable production budget at TG as well. The photography is some of the best done stuff on TV.
Unfortunately being on C5, Fifth Gear has about £4 to make every episode and frankly it shows. Not that I dislike Castle Combe circuit, but the high-def photography on Harris' YouTube videos is better than the production on Fifth Gear.

I've avoided 5th Gear for years - I'm watching this series and... well... it's not quite paint drying but it's really poor. It might be budget, but watching the three of them talk about cup holders and floor mats in a Fiat isn't interesting. At all.
Well that's why Top Gear went in the direction of car based farce and travel show. People criticized that it could be bigoted and childish, but the fact is that any non-car person isn't interested in watching a show that's like a rolling shopping channel. Most simply test drive new cars for themselves and decide what they like for the money.I like watching Tiff and Plato muck about on track and make insightful comments about the cars, but other than that I can take it or leave it.

I agree and TG is shot like a movie or something, they have/had a big budget due to the huge audience. My only slight criticism is that sometimes they excessively boosted colours and lowered brightness.Unfortunately being on C5, Fifth Gear has about £4 to make every episode and frankly it shows.
