Train driver and train manager Wayne and Illy are neighbours as well as best friends, and they also spend every day together at work. But will their friendship go off the rails once they get on the Getaway Car circuit? Also wondering if they have done the right thing in putting their relationships in the spotlight - or rather headlamps - are long-standing couple Vicki and Lindsey and the glamorous and newly engaged Manuella and Jamie. We all know what it's like inside the car with a loved one when things don't quite go to plan. So, five couples who all love each other stuck behind the wheel of a series of cars and being put through challenge after challenge that will turn their stress levels up to the max. What could possibly go wrong?

In this episode, husband and wife Hussain and Fatema from Bradford pull on their yellow racing suits and attack Hazard Highway with reckless abandon. Engaged couple James and Jacqui from Reading live together and work together at a funeral directors. Can Dermot resist a succession of funeral puns? Pretty in pink and racy in red are mother and daughter Samantha and Hollie, and father and son Jerry and Sam. With £10,000 at stake, can they leave the family squabbles at home? Finally, how will 36 years of marriage survive this relationship test? Robert and Roberta from Northern Ireland are as gentle and kind and loving as they come, but can this driver and co-driver take on the youngsters and triumph against the Stig?

In this episode, bickering brothers Mitz and Dee put aside their differences to tackle four other teams. Husband and wife Kate and Charlie are from Devon. The kids are at home, Charlie is highly embarrassed about driving a pink car in the show, but Kate has the steely determination to win. Best friends Chloe and Bethany are inseparable. They say they never argue... but then they have never been on the Getaway Car before. And dressed head to toe in flaming red to match their flaming red car are sisters Val and Babs who are out to prove that being past a 'certain age' is no barrier to top teamwork and enviable driving skills. Finally, if you are in the full flush of your first year dating your lovely new boyfriend or girlfriend, would you put yourself through a relationship road-test? Well the loved-up Joseph and Karen are game.

Dermot O'Leary returns to host another episode of The Getaway Car. In an action-packed competition, five couples will undertake a series of driving challenges with the odd quiz question thrown in for good measure. Not for the faint-hearted, the couples will undertake obstacle courses, high-speed circuits and off-road challenges in a multitude of cars, ranging from 4x4 race buggies to high powered supercars. Facing the course this week are sporty and competitive couple Dan and Emily from Worthing - who split up for a while during their teenage years. Dan mended his broken heart by throwing darts at a photo of Emily. Let's hope there's no repeat… Nick and Malina from Blackpool combine action-man heroics with beauty and poise but they are going to need more than that to see them to the final. Also putting their driving skills to the test are mother and son - Shirley and Lee as well as real life Fireman Sam and his co-driver, the less well-known, Fireman Jim, who are rather surprisingly scared of heights and claustrophobic. Finally, describing themselves as 'big-hearted big kids' best friends Dom and Tess are going to have to get serious and grown-up if they want to face the Stig and win £10,000.

At 18 years of age, Dan from Cheltenham is this series' youngest driver. Co-driver Andy is Dan's dad, and it's safe to say he's definitely the childish one here. From Troon in Scotland come Chris and Laura. Laura has an unexpected phobia that suggests she may not be an ideal candidate for success on the show - car see-saws! Will husband Chris be sympathetic and help Laura, or will he just laugh and take the Mickey? Civil partners Kelly and Kellie - nicknamed K1 and K2 - may share the same name, but do they share the same determination and teamwork to get away from the Stig? You can take the girls out of Essex, but can you take Essex out of the girls? Best friends for life Megan and Sophie have the looks, the hair, the nails and the accent that spell out 'stereotype', but behind the wheel the cliches go right out of the window. Team Green this week are tube drivers and best friends Trevor and Benn. These two London geezers have the gift of the gab, but they'll need more than attitude to be this week's champions. Mind the doors, please, they're coming through.

Another day, another delirious set of teams putting their relationships to the test on the purpose-built, crazy and chaotic Getaway Car obstacle course in South Africa. The thermometer is stuck on hot, the cars are gleaming in the Cape Town sunshine, and Dermot O'Leary is slathered in factor 50 yet still looks impossibly cool. Which of today's teams will spin out on the Hazard Highway, Off-Road Rage or the Drive-Thru, and who will be going helmet to helmet in a £10,000 midnight chase with the Stig?
