Doughnut plus Strictly theme tune for Top Gear

BBC One aired an unusual ‘next’ pointer for the final edition (of the current series) of Top Gear this evening.

Visuals of a driver performing a doughnut were accompanied by a snippet of the Strictly Come Dancing theme tune.

Doubly unusual is the fact that BBC One doesn’t generally use programme-specific ‘next’ pointers. In fact, the channel stopped using next/later boards in 2017 – bar some random appearances earlier this year.
