Top Gear

Just watched Top Gear - Extra Gear on iPlayer. For those that don't know, it's basically a behind the scenes show introduced by Rory Reid & Chris Harris. What a great little programme with Rory and Chris coming across very natural - much better than Flop Gear. BBC would do better to hand Top Gear over to these two.

Totally agree! I watched it last night and thought it was alot better than the main show. Will definitely be watching again.

Thanks for the heads up, I wasted an hour of my life on Sunday watching the new Top Gear to an immense disappointment, perhaps I should give Extra Gear a chance.

I feel as if Chris Harris had the same enthusiasm as the original trio but the same can't be said for the rest..

Agreed, it was better than the actual show.

Chris Harris is proper car journalist! Really enjoyed all his reviews.
