Whilst it might be boring, how about a program about real driving, max speed 70 (120 km) and how cars behave in traffic jams and crowded city centres ?
Top gear when i was a kid used to have that bloke with the beard who was all practical everyday reviews. Now they have seen they are entertainment programes so facts and sensible reviews will not attract people along to watch either live or on TV.

How longs the waiting list for Top gear and how many countries do BBC sell it to?
