Top Gear Gives Us A First Glimpse At Spinoff Show ‘Extra Gear’
The new series of Top Gear hits our TV screens on May 29th and now more juicy information and a teaser trailer has been released for its spinoff show, ‘Extra Gear’.
Presented by YouTube favourites Rory Reid and Chris Harris, the show will air on BBC Three – via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Three website – directly after Top Gear has finished.
Lasting 30 minutes, Extra Gear will be filmed each week at the Top Gear studio and will “bring lots of behind-the scenes content” to our laptop, tablet and phone screens.
Top Gear says the new show will feature exclusive new footage, interviews, and specially recorded films. Overseas will also be able to see Extra Gear on BBC America and BBC Brit.
Reid explains:
“The Top Gear fans are some of the keenest in the world and with this show I’m giving them a chance to really get a peek behind the curtain.
“I’m looking forward to showing them how the show is made and what goes on behind the scenes, giving viewers a different perspective on some of the coolest cars on the planet.”

Harries ?
Harris’ brother from another mother (typo corrected)
So does that mean Chris won’t be on the main Top Gear?!
[DELETED]
They should be. They were both in the main trailer road testing, so there’s that. If they’re not, that’s a huge waste of talent (not wholly convinced by Sabine, and EJ, as much as I love him I can’t take him seriously)
Hopefully he is, but I’m guessing he just may not be on every episode.
*Harris
what was the worlds biggest car show lele
“World’s Biggest Car Show”
Hmmm…
All of the 3 reasons why this show was world’s biggest and most popular are now doing a show for Amazon
Got anything to prove that?
I wonder how many people will end up watching only Extra Gear! Cool to see Chris actually presenting something anyway, was a bit disappointed at the initial trailers etc
So the primary actual show for banter and another more ‘focused’ show with some real driving from the man himself? Yes im in ! :D
They should’ve called it “Overdrive”.
What if Extra Gear gets more views/bigger audience than the main Top Gear O_o
they have made a mistake doing this show. Many of the people who only want to watch the show for Monkey and Rory Reid will only watch this show and not the main one.
