BBC Radio 4 and women are getting into the driving seat and creating a new show called Women Talking About Cars. This is not a girly version of Top Gear though. Instead the format will be light-hearted and feature famous guests talking about their life through cars. A sort of like Desert Island Discs but with motors not music.
So far four episodes have been commissioned, produced in house and Dawn French is first up to be interviewed by Victoria Coren-Mitchell. The BBC says: “Victoria Coren Mitchell interviews Dawn French in the first of a new comedy series that looks at a famous woman’s life through cars: her first car, her worst car, her favourite car, the journeys she’s made, the journeys she hasn’t, the people she’s met en route and the rude things she’s shouted in traffic jams…”
The show will be recorded in front of an audience at BBC Radio Theatre on 26th October and the producers invite you to: “Come and join the conversation as women talk about cars in what will be a funny, offbeat exploration of our guest’s life from a very different angle.”
The further three episodes will be recorded during November. Tickets are available here!
