Dermot O’Leary returns to Saturday nights with a new show that purports to be about driving, right, but is actually about relationships, unlike any show involving two or more people who know each other already. Crazy.

Various driving challenges ensue and the best couple will race against Top Gear‘s The Stig to try and win £10,000.

I’m keeping an open mind because I like Dermot but my gut is not doing backflips thus far – it sounds a bit like a format created by committee doesn’t it? But you never know. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Do not phone, your call will not count and you may still be charged.

Thanks very much for all your votes – I can reveal you smashed last year’s numbers – it’s going to take a little while to sift through all the comments and produce a write-up, but look out for the LIVE REVEAL with the UKGameshows.com/Bother’s Bar Poll Winner’s Party of 2015 very soon!

Edit: The GALA LIVE RESULTS show will be Tuesday at 9pm on Youtube (also embedded here). The write-up and full results about twenty minutes after the broadcast. Do join us then!

We were very sad this morning to hear the news about David Bowie who makes up a considerable proportion of my record collection.

So as a sort of tribute, a song from the fourth best film of all time (and in its own way, a cracking format) Labyrinth.

Thanks for all your votes so far, we’ve almost had as many ballots as last year, and there’s still a few days left to vote – get them in before Wednesday. It’s very tight in certain places and I think the eventual results will make interesting viewing.

Also don’t forget that as the new episode of Wie is De Mol goes out on Dutch TV tonight, if you want to play Daniel Peake’s The Suspect List game you’ll need to get your episode one guesses in this afternoon. So get watching.
