Top Gear's Rory Reid Will Star In 'Extra Gear' Spinoff
Amid all the talk of a troubled production period, fallouts between Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc and all the rest of it, one thought remains when we contemplate Top Gear’s reboot: we can’t wait to see YouTube favourites Chris Harris and Rory Reid in action. We’ve gone into detail about why Reid - the least known of Top Gear’s sizeable cast - is one to watch, and if we’ve convinced you, here’s some good news: he’s getting his own spinoff called ‘Extra Gear’.
According to the BBC, the show will “bring fans exclusive new footage, interviews, specially recorded films and behind the scenes access to Top Gear.” It’ll be available to view on the BBC’s iPlayer and BBC Three’s website immediately after Top Gear is broadcast on BBC2, and will also be broadcast internationally via BBC Brit and BBC America.
The new series of Top Gear will begin late May.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
Comments
If it’s going to be anything like his ghost review, I’m more than OK with it. Anyway, I do not have much confidence in new top gear…
Hoooraaaay
Anyone else think BBC should have created a completely new layout for the show?
the new “top gear” should be called neutral so they have 2 neutrals?
Fifth Gear, Top Gear, Extra Gear
how many more? Next one : Vin Diesel with One Last Gear?
