Test Drive
Comedy legend Grado hosts three teams of contestants driving to a new mystery destination, guided by a talking sat-nav asking them questions along the journey. Answer correctly and they follow the shortest route, but a wrong answer means a wrong turn, a diversion and added miles to their trip. It is the team with the lowest mileage that wins the cash prize so they want to keep to the straightest road possible.
Whiplashed
Host Larry Dean puts team captains and fellow comedians Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Fern Brady through their paces as they take to the road in Scotland’s new car-based panel show.

Joined by TV personality Aggie MacKenzie and Still Game’s Scott Reid, their road trip takes a series of unexpected and anarchic turns, all engineered by Larry, intent on leaving them feeling Whiplashed.
A Scottish Soldier: A Lost Diary of WWI
Thousands of black soldiers fought in the First World War. Poet Jackie Kay tells the story of one of them – Arthur Roberts. Arthur grew up in Glasgow and joined the King’s Own Scottish Borderers in 1917. He fought at Ypres and kept a detailed diary, which gives us a unique account of the war. Arthur’s evocative writing and sketches paint a vivid first-hand picture of life in the trenches. Like Arthur, Jackie Kay is a black Glaswegian, and she explores what it was like being black 100 years ago.
