[LM24] Licence to Thrill - Paul Hollywood Meets Aston Martin

[J Jay]

For anyone with access to BBC2 on TV or online (or who can spook a UK IP address) there is currently a program about part-time baker, part-time presenter and middle-aged housewife heartthrob Paul Hollywood and his obsession with Astons. There is a fair amount of Le Mans content, which makes sense as this is main racing tradition for the marque. The program shows Paul obtaining his race licence, racing in GT4 and culminates in Paul participating in the Aston Martin festival. There's also a hefty amount of James Bond (obviously) but that's neither here nor there as far as I'm concerned.

Not sure if it will be to anyone's tastes here but it's unusual to see anything Le Mans on terrestrial television so I thought it worth a mention. I know Paul's done something with RLM before in their "Inside Aston Martin" feature so it isn't without precedent.
