BBC One has today announced a brand new commission that will see couples go head to head in a funny, fast-paced and action packed competition where only the best get to face the legend that is The Stig.
Presented by Dermot O’Leary, the Saturday night entertainment show, The Getaway Car, will see couples compete in a series of exciting driving challenges that test the limits of their relationships behind the wheel of a car. Can married couples, grandparents and grandchildren, brothers and sisters or best friends work together to scoop the top prize? Or for that matter, will they still be talking afterwards?
The Getaway Car is packed with thrills, laughter and challenges. At the centre of the show is the fastest driver of his generation: the enigmatic, the iconic, The Stig. Nobody said winning the money would be easy.
Host Dermot O’Leary says:
“This is a show that's really about relationships. We all think we are great drivers, but what tickled me most is seeing how people, who obviously love each other very much, speak to each other when they are behind the wheel of a car. It brings out the worst in all of us... but in a fun way. It's a warm show that will stretch a family’s patience with those they love most in the world. I had a whale of a time doing the pilot and now can't wait to make the series.”
Charlotte Moore, Controller BBC One says:
“The Getaway Car is a really fun, new adrenaline charged entertainment show for BBC One. It’s very exciting to welcome both Dermot O’Leary and The Stig to Saturday nights on BBC One.”
Katie Taylor Controller, Entertainment and Events, BBC Production, says:
“The Getaway Car is an ambitious and exciting Saturday night entertainment show that enhances the BBC’s commitment to producing some of the most original entertainment formats around. With Dermot in the driving seat, I’m sure the BBC One audience will love it.”
BBC Worldwide is the global distributor and holds the format rights for The Getaway Car.
Tracy Forsyth, Genre Director of Factual Entertainment & Entertainment content at BBC Worldwide said:
“We’re hugely excited about this show and its potential to follow other successful British TV formats onto an international stage. With an iconic character from one of our biggest global brands already on board, we know audiences everywhere will be curious to see what’s under the bonnet of The Getaway Car.”
The Getaway Car will broadcast in 2016.
The Getaway Car (12 x 60’) is a BBC in-house Entertainment production. It was commissioned by Charlotte Moore, Controller BBC One and Mark Linsey, Controller, Entertainment Commissioning. It will be executive produced by Andy Rowe, series produced by Emma Taylor and overseen by Head of Format, Clare Pizey.
