May will host new live BBC car show

At least one former Top Gear host is back behind the wheel at the BBC after the corporation announced James May will present a new show about the car industry.

May is teaming up with Kate Humble and car designer Ant Anstead on the programme that will broadcast live from one of the country’s busiest motor manufacturers.

Two 90-minute episodes of Building Cars Live will focus on the work of BMW’s Mini plant in Oxford, where a car is built every 67 seconds.
