Originally shown on [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]] from 2002 to 2011 (and branded as '''''5th Gear''''' until 2005), it began as a continuation of the original version of the [[BBC]] show ''[[Top Gear (1977 TV series)|Top Gear]]'', which ran from 1977 until being cancelled in 2001.  It moved to the [[Discovery Channel (UK TV channel)|Discovery Channel]] in 2012, then in 2015 to [[History (European TV channel)|History]];<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/commissioning/fifth-gear-finds-its-third-home-on-ae-networks/5077922.article|title=Fifth Gear Finds New Home|website=Broadcast Now|access-date=19 November 2015}}</ref> since 2018 it has been broadcast on [[Quest (TV channel)|Quest]].

== History ==
''Fifth Gear'' was first broadcast on 8 April 2002, featuring the same format and many of the same presenters, including Willson, Needell, Butler-Henderson and Simpson, as the BBC's ''Top Gear''.<ref name="new home">{{cite web |title=Top Gear finds a new home|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/reviews/1918330.stm |date=9 April 2002 |publisher=BBC News Online |first=William |last=Gallagher}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author= Timms, Dominic|date= 15 November 2001|url= https://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/multi-platform/news/top-gear-drives-over-to-c5/1185599.article|title= Top Gear drives over to C5|work= [[Broadcast (magazine)|Broadcast]]|publisher= Emap Media}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Top Gear team switch lanes |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/1657807.stm |date=15 November 2001 |publisher=BBC News Online }}</ref> Channel 5 originally wanted to carry on using the ''Top Gear'' name, but the BBC refused as it still operated the [[Top Gear (magazine)|''Top Gear'' magazine]]; the BBC relaunched ''Top Gear'' [[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|with a drastically revised format]] later in 2002, placing a strong focus on comedy and general entertainment.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ededition.com/top-gear-versus-fifth-gear-which-british-car-show-is-better/|title=Top Gear Versus Fifth Gear: Which British Car Show Is Better? — EDEDITION.com|website=www.ededition.com|access-date=27 April 2019|archive-date=25 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190425200730/http://www.ededition.com/top-gear-versus-fifth-gear-which-british-car-show-is-better/|url-status=dead}}</ref> ''Fifth Gear'' has been referenced in ''Top Gear'', such as when a barn fire damaged ''Top Gear'' property, host [[Jeremy Clarkson]] satirically claimed that ''Fifth Gear'' had "burned our furniture."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/15/top-gear-burns-props-destroyed/|title=Top Gear burns!

Following a 2021 relaunch, with an emphasis on [[electric car|electric cars]], it was rebranded as '''''Fifth Gear Recharged'''''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2021/10/fifth-gear-to-relaunch-as-electronic-car-format-1234854569/|title = 'Fifth Gear' to Relaunch as Electric Vehicle Format; Signs Former 'Top Gear' Host Rory Reid|date = 13 October 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.televisual.com/news/north-one-amps-up-fifth-gear-recharged-for-discovery/|title = North One amps up Fifth Gear Recharged for Discovery|date = 13 October 2021}}</ref> ''Fifth Gear Recharged'' was presented by [[Vicki Butler-Henderson]], Sid North,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://allcarvideos.net/2023/01/20/sid-norths-day-with-the-insane-1180bhp-ariel-hipercar-fifth-gear/ | title=Sid North's day with the insane 1,180bhp Ariel Hipercar &#124; Fifth Gear by Fifth Gear &#124; AllCarVideos.net, all your favorite youtube channels in one page! }}</ref> [[Karun Chandhok]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.driving.co.uk/news/tv/fifth-gear-tv-show-focus-electric-cars/|title = New Fifth Gear TV show to focus on electric cars|date = 14 October 2021}}</ref> and [[Jason Plato]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://uk.motor1.com/news/248634/fifth-gear-returning-september-2018/|title=Fifth Gear Will Be Back In September|first=Anthony|last=Karr|website=Motor1.com|access-date=27 April 2019}}</ref> with Grace Webb and engineer Jimmy de Ville also involved in reports.

In 2024, North One scrapped the all-EV format, with the programme reverting to being ''Fifth Gear'' and with [[Rory Reid (journalist)|Rory Reid]] rejoining the presenting line-up.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fifth Gear Season 29 {{!}} Radio Times |url=https://www.radiotimes.com/programme/b-cb2tn2/fifth-gear-season-29/?episode=b-gjfeet |access-date=2024-11-07 |website=www.radiotimes.com |language=en-GB}}</ref>

Repeats of ''Fifth Gear'' also started being broadcast on [[UKTV]] channel [[Dave (TV channel)|Dave]] in April 2008 and later on [[Discovery Turbo (UK TV channel)|Discovery Turbo]], with early episodes of the show being streamed '24/7' via the British feed of [[Pluto TV]] in 2019.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.eu-landing.corp.pluto.tv/channels |title=ALL CHANNELS {{!}} Pluto TV {{!}} Watch Free TV |website=www.eu-landing.corp.pluto.tv |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190323231425/https://www.eu-landing.corp.pluto.tv/channels |archive-date=2019-03-23}}</ref>

==Format==
The first seven series consisted of a 23-minute programme, not including approximately seven minutes of adverts.<ref name="new home" /> The eighth series returned in the autumn of 2005 in a longer format of 45 minutes, and the ninth series (which went to a 13-week run) was increased to a one-hour airtime slot (approximately 46 minutes excluding adverts). For series 17, the show had reverted to the original format of 23 minutes, which including adverts takes the show to half an hour. In Series 21, the show reverted to the previous one-hour airtime slot.

===Locations===
At the start of series 10, the show introduced between-feature links filmed at the [[Ace Cafe]] in London. In previous series, these links were filmed at the production company offices in [[Birmingham]]. Originally produced by [[Chrysalis Group|Chrysalis]] Television, the Birmingham offices were situated on the top floor of the headquarters of [[100.7 Heart FM]] (also, at that time, a [[Chrysalis Radio]] company), near Birmingham's [[Five Ways, Birmingham|Five Ways]] area. The team moved out when Chrysalis sold its television division to [[All3Media]] in September 2003 (the section which later produced Fifth Gear is now known as [[North One]] Television, part of the All3Media group).

In series 14, a location change from the Ace Cafe meant link sequences were filmed instead at the [[Millbrook Proving Ground]], along with some of the vehicle testing features.

===Shoot-outs===
''Fifth Gear'' claimed to be 'world renowned' for its 'infamous' shoot-outs, between similarly priced, similarly powerful cars, or, recently, cars versus bikes. These shoot outs took place at the [[Anglesey Circuit]] on the Isle of [[Anglesey]] close to [[Aberffraw]]. During the refurbishment of Anglesey, shoot-outs were switched to [[Castle Combe Circuit]].
