Not every Tuesday is a dull day. If you’re looking for a mix of travel, food, quirkiness and a dash of light‑hearted banter, U&Dave has a pretty solid lineup.

1. Rick Stein’s Cornwall – 10:10–12:20 BST

2. Top Gear – 12:20–14:20 BST

The trio of hosts test convertibles in Iceland, and there’s a new challenge involving a “Reasonably Priced Car.” The show’s irreverent humor makes it a fun, easy‑going watch. It’s not for the faint of heart, but it keeps the energy high.
