Fifth Gear moving to H2

I can't help but think they missed a trick by not giving it a new name. Now that its no longer on channel 5, fifth gear sounds (to the uninitiated) like a b grade top gear knock off.

Name's fine. Bouncing around the channels like a ping pong ball can't be good for the show. Hopefully this deal gives them some stability to grow their audience.

Think they need more shows so they can stay current with new model releases.
 
Great news. TG is fine if you want silliness but it's nice that there is still going to be a proper car show on UK TV.
 
Awesome! I was starting to really like Fifth Gear.

But, when they change channels does that mean that they change a part of their staff like camera guys/editors/producers? Wouldn't that mess with the show as we know it? (not that it's necessarily a bad thing)

Well, they can't go Sixth Gear, there is a supercar club with this name.
Any other auto-motor related new name is just silly at this point. Why mess with a thing that works?...
