Drive Dynamics - The Stig and Dermot O'Leary in new BBC driving show

Dermot O'Leary and The Stig will join forces on a Saturday night BBC driving show. No, it's not Top Gear.
The Getaway Car, presented by Dermot and featuring Top Gear's "tame racing driver", will see families and friends compete in a set of driving challenges.
Dermot presented The X Factor for eight years on ITV, but left after the last series.
The Stig's not commented yet, but Dermot says he's excited about the show.
"We all think we are great drivers, but what tickled me most is seeing how people, who obviously love each other very much, speak to each other when they are behind the wheel of a car.
"It brings out the worst in all of us... but in a fun way."

The show will be broadcast next year on BBC One. The announcement comes less than two weeks after former Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May unveiled a deal to work for Amazon Prime.
Clarkson, whose BBC contract was not renewed after he punched a member of staff during a "fracas", is also teaming up with former Top Gear producer Andy Wilman to make three, 12-episode series of the new show.
