Voiced by Sheridan Smith, Used Car Wars features two “salt-of-the earth” car dealerships in Derby – Car a Lot and Geoff Cox Used Cars – who have enjoyed years of rivalry.

Lizard Lick Touring features hit series Lizard Lick Towing’s eponymous hero, former college football player and ordained minister, Ron Shirley and his ex powerlifter and MMA fighter wife, Amy.
The pair are already familiar to audiences for their free-wheeling, colourful world in rural North Carolina where they jointly run their hugely successful motor business, Lizard Lick Towing.
Now Ron has decided to head east and try his luck in the UK – and he’s given Dave full-on, unfettered access.
The four new shows were unveiled at UKTV Live, the broadcasters’ annual showcase of upcoming programmes.
Other programme highlights coming to UKTV’s channels in the coming months include the highly anticipated new series of Red Dwarf, the return of Sir David Attenborough’s Natural Curiosities, new comedy Zapped starring James Buckley and a full series of Marley’s Ghosts which stars Sarah Alexander.

“UKTV is investing heavily in great new programming and we have such riches here to show for it.
“A massive 73% of the British population now watch our channels every month, and what’s really exciting is that UKTV Originals are an enormous part of that success.”
