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.”
