What time is Paul Hollywood’s Big Continental Road Trip on TV?
The Bake off judge is speeding out of the tent and across Europe. Yes, really
What time is Paul Hollywood’s Big Continental Road Trip on TV?
It’ll be broadcast 9pm, Sunday 11th June, BBC2.
How will it work?
The Bake Off judge takes a series of road trips across different countries in Europe, driving some of the most famous cars made in each nation he visits.
What can I expect?
We’re learning a few things about our European neighbours from Paul Hollywood’s enjoyable spin around the continent. Last week we gathered that in Germany you’re not allowed to wash your car at home; this week we hear that in France it’s illegal to eat while driving – though that doesn’t stop Paul cramming in the odd mouthful of baguette.
He loves the Citroën DS suspension (“Its complicated and revolutionary – like the French”) and hates the traffic at the Arc de Triomphe (where, apparently, any prang results in a 50-50 insurance split, regardless of fault), but never quite cracks why the French don’t really go in for flashy sports cars – even though they invented motorsport (in 1894).
