The Cannonball Run

on BBC One London

Starring Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Farrah Fawcett, Roger Moore, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr

The Cannonball Sea-to Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash is an anything goes, totally illegal and free-for-all race across the highways of the USA from Darien, Cornneticut to Redondo in California.

The participants and their vehicles tend to be a little out of the ordinary - from two ageing swingers, disguised as priests, driving a Ferrari to a pair of manic mechanics at the wheel of an ambulance. A star cast go all-out for the finish in this fast-moving comedy of the world's wackiest race.
