Sunday on U&Dave: From Motoring Mayhem to Deep‑Sea Ditties – What You Shouldn’t Miss
If you’re looking for a Sunday lineup that mixes adrenaline, nostalgia and a smattering of light‑hearted banter, U&Dave’s schedule offers a solid mix of programs that have already earned a reputation for holding up well. Below is a rundown of the highlights and why you should consider tuning in.
Top Gear: The Viper Test That Will Leave You Breathless
Jeremy Clarkson sinks his teeth into a Dodge Viper, while Richard Hammond experiments with prototypes that look like they could have come straight out of a comic book. Joanna Lumley adds a touch of class to the chaos. The episode feels like a quick, reliable dose of motoring madness that will keep you glued to the screen from 06:25 to 07:20.
Yukon Gold: The Home Stretch
The third season of this reality‑mining drama keeps the stakes high. The dynamic between Ken, Guillaume and Karl suggests that the pressure cooker will only intensify. From 07:20 to 09:20 you’re treated to the high‑octane ‘Home Stretch’ and the ‘Final Push’ before a fresh start with Ken and Guillaume in the next episode. It’s still entertaining for anyone who enjoys real‑world competition.
Red Bull Soapbox Race: Hyderabad & Brazil
Two episodes back‑to‑back from 10:20 to 12:20 showcase teams racing homemade soapbox cars through obstacle courses in Hyderabad and Brazil. The sheer absurdity of the races is balanced by the genuine effort of the contestants, making it a reliable catch‑up for fans of extreme motorsport.
Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing – A Quiet, Yet Engaging Escapade
From 12:20 to 14:20 the pair of comedians and their terrier Ted take you along on a fishing trip that punctuates the day with calm, humour and a touch of nature. The episode length is short, but the chemistry keeps it engaging.
Would I Lie To You? – The Ultimate Lies Show
Between 14:20 and 17:00, the panel of David Mitchell, Lee Mack, and Rob Brydon tackles an array of believable and outrageous stories. The show feels like a reliable, light‑hearted break from the more intense programmes earlier in the day.
Other Highlights: From Explorer to Live Stand‑Up
If you’re looking for something different, then “Tropic of Capricorn with Simon Reeve” (17:00‑18:00) offers a travel‑focused documentary that stays on course. “Guy Martin: Proper Jobs” (18:00‑19:00) brings a rugged sense of duty to the RNLI lifeboat crew. “New: Pete Wicks: For Dogs’ Sake” (19:00‑20:00) adds a heart‑warming animal rescue narrative. For comedy lovers, “Mock the Week” (21:40‑23:00) and “Live at the Apollo” (23:00‑00:00) provide solid stand‑up material.
Bottom line: U&Dave’s Sunday lineup is a well‑balanced mix of motoring, mining, racing, fishing, and comedy. Whether you’re a car enthusiast, a reality‑show fan or just in need of a laugh, there’s something that will hold up well. If anything, the schedule is dependable and worth a look.
