Vanavond op Top Gear:
In the third programme of the brand new all-singing, all-dancing, all-a-bit-on-fire series of Top Gear Jeremy, Richard and James face one of their toughest challenges to date as they're instructed to make an ordinary second-hand car lap the test track as quickly as a snorting, turbocharged, four-wheel drive Mitsubishi Evo X. And it's a task made especially difficult because the second-hand car in question is a piece of unloved mentalism not famed for its pin-sharp handling.
Also in this week's programme, James travels to the frozen north to discover just why the Finns make such good racing drivers. With four world rally champions from its shores and more F1 champs per head than any other nation there must be some secret, and it can't be because - FACT! - they drink more coffee and borrow more library books than anywhere else on earth.
Meanwhile, Richard is in Japan to drive the I-Real which is Toyota's idea of urban transport for the future. It's basically a sort of motorised bath chair.
And as if that wasn't enough, the star in a reasonably priced car is rapper, actor and bone fide Hollywood superstar Mark Wahlberg. The attendance of the rest of the Funky Bunch still to be confirmed.
