TIff Needle, the leading male on the highly-rated British auto review show revealed via his Twitter profile that he is still hoping to get the show resurrected on another television channel and did not rule out the possibility of having his own show. Replying when asked about the future of the show, Needle revealed, “Thanks for the support. We’re still hoping Fifth Gear might be resurrected on another channel otherwise why not my own show?”

Fifth Gear, a program that was regarded as a rival to BBC’s Top Gear program was cancelled by channel Five after numerous seasons. Apparently, it was cancelled because it failed to make it into channel Five’s top 30 most-watched list.

If the show is resurrected on another channel, it may not be called Fifth Gear due to some possible copyright issues with channel Five. It would be great if the show makes a comeback even with a different name, as long as it carries the same DNA. The show was treated to a different angle compared to the more flamboyant Top Gear. Lets hope it gets back on air!
