Kasia Jablonska, Head of VOD for EMEA at BBC Studios, said, “I’m excited to see Top Gear’s global motoring legacy finding new life in Benelux to satisfy the needs of our motoring fandom locally. Having a partner like Samsung in developing our FAST proposition ensures that our exquisite BBC content reaches new audiences and is delivered through a top-level viewing experience, which has always been our highest priority”.

Jennifer Batty, Samsung TV Plus’s European Head of Content Acquisition, said “We’re very excited to be the exclusive FAST home of Top Gear in the Benelux region. Top Gear is an iconic series, with countless classic episodes, and the launch of these channels further demonstrates our commitment to bringing premium entertainment content to our users across Europe for free”.
