PREVIEW

In each show a young, loved up couple is given the wedding of their dreams. But there is one big catch – the groom has to organise every single aspect of the big day. Until the wedding day itself the bride will know nothing of the arrangements – the ceremony, the venue, the guest list, the food or flowers. She sees the dress he’s chosen for her to wear only the day before! Will the bride-to-be cry with tears of joy or tears of sadness?

DRIVING ME MAD

VIRGIN
6 x 60mins

There’s nothing worse than living with a non-driver. Being designated driver 24/7 sucks - so much in fact that it can be a relationship wrecker. So Driving Me Mad challenges three non-drivers to pass their tests before their lack of driving destroys their relationships. But instead of experienced driving instructors, our autophobes will be taught by their long-suffering, license-holding other halves at the world's most extreme driving school. Real car crash TV.

BBC RADIO 2
Series 1 - 6 x 30mins
Series 2 - 6 x 30mins
Series 3 - 6 x 30mins

Every day there’s a new celebrity spat or A-list bit of idiocy to splash across the red tops, upload online or tweet about. And it’s this tittle-tattle that fuels the fast, funny, topical orgy of competitive bitchery that is Hot Gossip. This show has a host, the delicious Miss Claudia Winkleman, but that’s where the similarity to other panel shows ends. There’s no Q + A, no teams, just the finest comic minds in the UK (Jenny Éclair, Lucy Porter, Dom Joly, Rufus Hound, Robin Ince and Stephen K. Amos) battling it out over 30 minutes for the dubious title of Hottest Gossiper.
