Game show hosted by Dermot O'Leary. Five couples test their nerve, driving ability and communication skills in a series of thrilling car-based challenges.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the South African countryside, the Getaway Car puts five couples through a relationship MOT. They test their nerve, driving ability and communication skills in a series of thrilling car-based challenges. Host Dermot O'Leary is your guide through Hazard Highway, Off-Road Rage, the Drive-Thru and the high-octane finale that is the Getaway Chase. Only one team will reach the final and go helmet to helmet in a thrilling showdown with enigmatic driving legend The Stig - all in the hope of winning the 拢10,000 jackpot and being crowned champions.

This episode's couples include sisters Jodi and Aimi. They describe themselves as 'hilarious' and 'loving', and those qualities are severely tested as they take the wheel of Little Miss Daisy, Hazard Highway's flowery VW Golf.

Binny and Neil from Brighton are rock gods in the making. This husband-and-wife team agree that Binny should be the driver, based on Binny's logic: 'I generally rule the roost and get what I want.'

Dave and Paula are from the Outer Hebrides. As an ex-HGV driver, Dave is used to long distances but can their close relationship hold up during the trip around the Getaway Car course?

Pete ('the calm one') and Richard ('definitely the leader') are lifelong friends from Rotherham and Barnsley. As little tykes they went to nursery together, then primary school, then secondary school, then university. That's a lot of history to put the test. Can they bag that 拢10K?

Finally from London comes a Thai kickboxing double act, friends Talibah and Ami. They are both incredibly competitive, but driver Talibah only passed her driving test a little over a year ago and Ami in the passenger seat passed hers a decade ago. Even they are wondering if they have made the right choice.
