As far as I know the story goes like this:
A few years back the BBC wasn't satisfied with the number of people who were watching TG on a weekly basis. So they 'proposed' a new format. A number of people from the old TG Team (Tiff, Vix & Quentin) didn't feel confortable with this new format and decided t jump ship when Channel5 offered them airtime for an automotive program. This program became 5thGear.
Not sure but I even think that Clarkie wasn't in the 1st series of TopGear new style either. But he was rejoined with the BBC in the next series when they centered TG around him and offered him airtime for some other programs aswell.

I think Tiff give more neutral comments on cars than Jeremy, not to mention, the difference in skillz (Hell, put on the helmet and Tiff can be Stiggy LOL)

Now that 5th gear is getting worse I think it's time for Tiff to reconsider joining TG again (or at least make some more DVDs)

i disagree, as they went well together in the old series of TG

but i dont think they will be together for at least quite some time, as the commanders in chief of thier reletive programs... why give that up?

it would always be good to see a new Tiff DVD i think also a new JC DVD
