BBC confirm Top Gear reunion series

Former Top Gear hosts Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris will be hosting a new road trip series where they travel to Europe to explore how our European neighbors embrace aging and make the most of their later years. The three-part series, produced by BBC Studios Factual Entertainment Productions, will air on BBC One and iPlayer. Paddy and Chris, who describe themselves as firmly middle-aged and approaching fifty, will investigate the keys to a long and fulfilling life by meeting with some of the healthiest, happiest, and longest-living individuals. They will visit Sweden, Greece, and Switzerland, delving into the essence of each country and engaging in introspection.

Paddy McGuinness says: “I’m very much looking forward to getting back on the road with Chris Harris. Not so much looking forward to sharing a confined space with him. He doesn’t believe in deodorant. On the plus side he’ll give me something to laugh at along the way. Bring it on!”

Chris Harris says: “Paddy’s idea of long-haul travel is driving from Bolton to Blackpool, so this European road-trip should be a real eye-opener for both of us. When we’re finished debating the merits of literally everything we encounter, viewers will hopefully take something rewarding away from our deep-dive into the secrets of human longevity – but I’m just hoping my interest in the subject doesn’t dwindle as each mile goes by in Paddy’s company!”

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment Commissioning says: “Paddy and Chris are packing their bags and heading off to Europe in this exciting new adventure. The pair will explore different countries, cultures, and people and will also be trying to discover the secrets to living a long and fulfilling life. They will be trying their very best to embrace these new experiences all whilst of course having a good laugh along the way too, bon voyage chaps!.”

Kat Lennox, BBC Studios Creative Director Factual Entertainment says: “Paddy and Chris’ on screen chemistry has always been a favourite amongst audiences and we’re so excited to be bringing more of an insight into their friendship through this adventure of a lifetime. With plenty of bants along the way, of course, it’s certainly going to be entertaining!”

The show will delve into midlife themes while uncovering remarkable secrets to thriving in the middle years. Detailed broadcast information will be revealed soon.
