Top Gear
8.30pm BBC2 That Jeremy Clarkson is everywhere isn't he? It's only a few days since his Top Gear Waterworld series finished and only a few weeks since he was on the cover of Radio Times and yet here he is again with a new series of Top Gear.
He's to be found road testing the replacement for the Ford Escort, which according to the programme may turn out to be one of the most important launches of the year. His co-driver Quentin Willson turns to the Japanese to examine the truth behind the enormous number of cheap imports from Japan. And proving that he's a versatile chap, Clarkson dons a Jackanory guise to tell us a bedtime story about the government's white paper on transport.
