'''''Advanced Driving with Graham Hill''''' (also known simply as '''''Advanced Driving''''') is an ATV motoring show. Presented by two-time Formula One World Champion Graham Hill, it involved Hill providing practical advice on how to become a better, safer driver on the roads of Britain.

==Background==
''Advanced Driving with Graham Hill'' was conceptualised for ATV, most likely in response to a statistic that stated 90% of road accidents were the result of poor or erroneous driving.<ref name="abe">[https://www.abebooks.co.uk/9780091227814/Advanced-Driving-Graham-Hill-009122781X/plp ''AbeBooks'' summary of the book.] Retrieved 22nd Aug '22</ref><ref name="cat">[https://www.worldcat.org/title/advanced-driving-with-graham-hill/oclc/16301049 ''WorldCat'' listing for the book, and noting it was based on the ATV series.] Retrieved 22nd Aug '22</ref> As the show's title states, two-time Formula One champion Graham Hill was its presenter.<ref name="trans">[https://transdiffusion.org/2015/06/30/tonights-anglia-tv-in-1974/ ''Transdiffusion'' providing a listing for the show's first episode.] Retrieved 22nd Aug '22</ref> Hill himself notably had experienced the consequences of serious crashes first-hand; at the 1969 United States Grand Prix, Hill's Lotus-Ford was suffering from bald rear tyres, and crucially a popped-out seatbelt that Hill was unable to belt properly back-in, even with help from mechanics.<ref name="espn">[http://en.espn.co.uk/f1/motorsport/story/58828.html ''ESPN'' detailing Hill's crash at the 1969 United States Grand Prix.] Retrieved 22nd Aug '22</ref> As he drove out again, a rear tyre collapsed, causing the car to flip and Hill to be thrown out of the cockpit.<ref name="espn"/> He suffered leg injuries so severe that it was initially deemed unlikely he would ever race again.<ref name="espn"/> Ultimately, he recovered fast enough to race for opening race of the following season<ref name="espn"/>

Six 30-minute episodes were produced, and were broadcast between from June 1974.<ref name="trans"/><ref>[https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Annual_Report_and_Accounts/kl5n3DJsjwUC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=advanced+driving+with+graham+hill+itv&printsec=frontcover ''Independent Broadcasting Authority'' noting six programmes of ''Advanced Driving'' were made.] Retrieved 22nd Aug '22</ref> The first episode saw Hill emphasise the importance of driving concentration, and ensuring adequate tyre safety.<ref name="trans"/> Other episodes meanwhile focused on issues such as reverse parking, overtaking, speed, and windscreens.<ref>[https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/search/results/1970-01-01/1979-12-31?basicsearch=advanced%20driving%20with%20graham%20hill ''British Newspaper Archive'' noting listings of the show, including one focusing on reverse parking, overtaking, speed, and windscreens.] Retrieved 22nd Aug '22</ref> Little else is known surrounding the majority of the show's episodes, but the book of the same name, published in 1975 and co-written by Hill and Neil Ewart, was notably based on the ATV series.<ref name="cat"/>

==Availability==
Whereas the book is widely available, the television series has yet to publicly resurface, with no footage and images being viewable.<ref name="abe"/><ref name="cat"/> Considering ATV notably wiped some of its 1970s programmes, for instance ''[[Comedy Premiere (lost ATV comedy series; 1975)|Comedy Premiere]]'', it is possible that ''Advanced Driving with Graham Hill'' suffered the same fate.
