Richard, Jeremy and others in “July 27th, 2008”

Now, there's a new TV show in Germany. It's all about cars and it's hosted by three people.

I can't imagine where they got that idea from! No idea! Anyway, they got in touch with us and they invited us to take them on in a series of races and challenges.

Now, obviously, we needed somewhere to stage this.

Yes. I suggested we did it in the skies over southern England!

In fact, we settled on Belgium, which was a country invented so that Britain and Germany would have somewhere to sort out their differences!

Yup! And, on that point, the producers told us: "Now, listen. You're representing the BBC. You can't just turn up and go on about the war."
