Love it or loathe it, back on Sunday

BBC seem to keep opting for stealth trailers over recent series...

From this week's Radio Times:

Six programmes that will contain (probably):

1 Best of British (Triumph Spitfire, Jensen Interceptor and Lotus Elan).

2 4x4 -v- Snow Mobile (VW Toureg).

3 Three Wheels Good (Reliant Robin).

4 Saloons with Oomph (£5,000 cars up and down the autobahn).

5 Build a sleek, sexy motorhome.

6. A new reasonably priced car (probably not a Veyron).

James May has written an article in Tuesday's Daily Telegraph, and the article mentioned that the new series would be more "grown up" and "less of the silly challenges".

Yes, then when a new series is on they'll defer it every odd week for the bloody snooker, darts, or whatever

Especially as she seems to have put on a bit of weight.
