Victoria Coren Mitchell is to interview Dawn French, Olivia Colman, Sarah Millican and Germaine Greer for a new four-part series. Women Talking About Cars starts on Radio 4 on Wednesday 30th November.

Each week the Only Connect host will be joined by a different guest, using cars as a vehicle to share memories and take a comic look at life, love, sex, work, childhood, adulthood and adventure.

Coren Mitchell says: "I'm really looking forward to sitting down with some of the greatest women in modern British culture and talking about the pros and cons of the five-speed manual gearbox."

At the heart of the show is an exploration of what cars symbolise to women today, including freedom, power, refuge, novelty and familiarity. Recorded in front of a live audience at the BBC Radio Theatre, members of the public will be drawn into the conversation too, encouraged to consider their own cars and the memories they’ve facilitated – be it driving to a first job, doing the school run, picnic trips in the family campervan or the rude things they’ve shouted in traffic.
