Discovery and Quest confirm Fifth Gear return and presenter line-up

September 9, 2019 - Staff@seenituk

JONNY SMITH, VICKI BUTLER-HENDERSON, JASON PLATO AND JIMMY DE VILLE TEAM TEST THE NEW MAZDA 3.
A new ten-part series of Fifth Gear has been announced, with hosts Jason Plato, Vicki Butler-Henderson, Jonny Smith and Jimmy DeVille all confirmed to be returning.

However fans may be disappointed to learn that after 17 years on the show, Tiff Needell won’t appear in the new run.

Airing on Discovery’s free to air Quest channel, the new series features more team tests, fast track drives, road trips and practical tests.

Plato and former F1 driver Karun Chandhok will be going full throttle in the dogfights and shoot-outs.; Jonny Smith will be covering stories from the motoring world; Vicki Butler-Henderson will be testing some modern classics; and engineer Jimmy DeVille will be delving into the history and design of some iconic cars.

JASON PLATO AND KARUN CHANDHOK HAVE A £50K SPORTS CAR DEATHMATCH TO SEE WHICH CAR COMES OUT ON TOP.

Simon Downing – Head of Channels Quest and Eurosport, Discovery said: “We are looking forward to taking Quest’s automotive fans on another journey with the experts at Fifth Gear, as they take on new motoring challenges.

“This series sees the return of well-known and self-confessed petrol heads Jason, Vicki, Jimmy, Jonny and guest presenter Karun, and promises to be the most high-octane yet.”

“The Quest family also want to thank Tiff for his invaluable contribution to the show. His motoring expertise and passion for cars has entertained viewers for many years and we wish him every success with future endeavours.”

North One’s CEO, Neil Duncanson, said “Over the years we’ve seen so many car shows come and go, but Fifth Gear has consistently stood the test of time. The reason for that is simple, it’s a real car show, presented by real drivers and real car experts.

“Car fans are becoming more and more discerning and this show delivers what they want – a car show packed full of information and take-out that is entertaining; rather than an entertainment show that happens to have a few cars in it.”
