Fingers crossed

 

So they've (hopefully) scheduled it to show after the first Top Gear.

 

If it's as elegantly balanced as the first two, it should be really good. I don't envy the editor.

 

I have been waiting 4 weeks for Colin's programme, so I really hope the BBC show it on the 27th - or any day SOON.

 

Hear hear.

Some of the best TV I've seen for long time.

The BBC really did hit upon their Inform. Educate. Entertain. mantra.

 

As at 17/01/2013 confirmed on the BBC website:

Sunday 27-Jan-2013 22:00
BBC HD

Racing Legends Colin McRae

Episode 3 of 3

DURATION: 1 HOUR
Olympic hero Sir Chris Hoy tells the story of Britain's first-ever World Rally Champion, Colin McRae. Along with Colin's father, Jimmy, himself a five-time British Rally Champion, Sir Chris visits the scenes of Colin's greatest triumphs.

From exploring Colin's roots as a Scottish trials bikes champ to driving the route of the Dakar rally over the dunes of the Sahara desert, Sir Chris will re-live McRae's career and be trained to drive sideways by another big fan - American Rally Superstar Ken Block.

Sir Chris's final challenge will be to swap his push bike for a monster Subaru Impreza world rally car on a rough and ready stage of the RAC Rally, the home of Colin's famous 1995 victory.

The reason I bought my first Impreza WRX back in 1999:


Thanks for the memories Colin.

 

Wicked - that Sunday can't come soon enough!

 

Yep, it's in the Sky planner - it's just crept into the '7 days in advance' schedule. I've set it to record already.

Can't wait.

 

How the hell do you understand those instructions... it's like 4 turns ahead of where you are...

 

Good call, saved

 

Yay!

 

Totally.

The whole co-driver/driver thing really bakes my noodle! The driver must possess almost the same level of cognition as a Chess Grand Master, I'll wager!!

 

when listing to notes, i just process the important stuff, like dont cut, hairpin or any thing that tightens ot 9s, any thing else is just flat lol

 

@ 4.50

Using a standard position shift box, None of that sequential stuff

 

lol 4.50 is **** in pants time

 

5:16 to 5:24... Lucky, lucky Vic.

*well jel* lol

 

She nearly ran me over as she ragged the 555 car up the runway!

 

lol

I trust, for your pains, that you dragged her out of the car and gave her a damn good fingerblasting?

 

I have to say, VBH is strangely sexy!

 

She is indeed.
Though in that McRae clip posted, she could do with losing a few pounds from the midriff

 

Shes always been a porker though. Don't see the appeal myself and she's pretty dim too.

 

I wouldn't be bothered about her being dim for the purposes of what I want.

 

Indeed Mr Urban, I too appreciate a hands-on co-driver!

 

What's that then, riding and floating on the blubber? whatever floats your boat I guess, well in this case with the gut she has you could use her as a boat

 

thanks to Etheridge-Bird for keeping us posted on this unmissable documentary at 10pm on Sunday!

will be watching the 3 stooges (TG) at 8pm as warm-up.

 

I was looking forward to watching Colin's program when it appeared in the Radio Times listings at Christmas.

Delighted the BBC have decided to show it on Sunday

TG episode includes:

Clarkson attempts to build a car that is smaller than the Peel P50 and then tests it out on the streets of London before pitching his concept in the Dragons' Den.



May puts the Bentley Continental GT Speed through its paces by taking it on a rally stage.

Hammond drives the new Pagani Huayra.

Golden Globe-winning Homeland star Damian Lewis goes for a spin in the Reasonably Priced Car.

 

Not long to go, TG and Racing Legends

 

...Plus Brian ***'s Wonders of Life sandwiched in between.

A great night's viewing lol

 

....And then work.
