Stars in Fast Cars was a relatively short-lived humorous motoring-themed celebrity gameshow series, in which various celebrities compete at motoring challenges, including recreating movie stunts and racing modified armchairs. The series was first broadcast on BBC Three, in 2005, and later repeated on BBC One in 2006.
Among some of the more notable moments were Car Skittles; a stunt where the guests had to drive on to the back of a moving lorry, before letting them all drive a Ferrari – with a bathtub of water attached to the back which they weren't allowed to spill. They were asked to race in a variety of motor-esque machines, from the aforementioned armchairs to Formula 1 cars.
The final round of each show, between the two top-ranking guests, features the use of the car cannon in attempts to hit various things.
The show originated as an one-off Comic Relief special of the popular BBC Two show, Top Gear, and was later turned into a series, presented by Dougie Anderson.
