Breaking: Fifth Gear Still Alive And Kicking?

It looks like rumors of Fifth Gear’s demise were false, or at least not 100% for sure.
Jonny Smith just tweeted the following:
Breaking news: Fifth Gear IS coming back. When more factual gossip emerges I will let you know.
Wow, such quick responses! Basically, we all know there’s room for 2 car TV shows. FG will simply be a reviews based visual car magazine.
No Top Gear chasing – just straight to business with grassroots reviewing/comparing/buying/giving away cars.
An unconfirmed account called @tiff_tv which may or may not be Tiff Needell also tweeted this:
Home to the news that, after much negotiatiing Fifth Gear looks like it will after all be returning to your screens sometime in the Spring!
If that’s true, then it looks like it was a matter of the show’s cost versus the show’s profits. Glad they got it all sorted out though as while I think most people will of course agree that Top Gear is more entertaining to watch, Fifth Gear fills it’s niche nicely by providing factual and relevant reviews, something that frankly Top Gear doesn’t do so much anymore. Great news.

“Richard Was Right To Race” Says Tiff

Tiff’s article in The Sun is a week old, but I just saw it now, so I’m posting it.
Is the Tour De France a bad example to cyclists? Is throwing a javelin encouraging people to start chucking spears? Is sprinting encouraging people to run down pavements? Where do you end?
