Motorbike Mania: BSB Highlights
At 06:00 UTC, BSB Highlights brings the adrenaline of the British Superbike Championships to your screen. A quick recap of Round 8 at Cadwell Park keeps the energy high.
Opinion: The pacing is tight, but the show leans heavily on fans of the sport. Still, it’s reliable for a quick thrill.
Classic Car Revivals (Wheeler Dealers)
From 08:00 UTC, Wheeler Dealers takes you through a day of restoration: a Ford F1 pickup, a Frogeye Sprite, a Dodge Coronet, a Volkswagen Rabbit GTi, a Triumph Dolomite Sprint, and a Morris Minor Traveller. Each episode ends with a potential sale.
Opinion: The show is a steady blend of engineering insight and market savvy. It holds up well for hobbyists and viewers curious about the value of vintage cars.
Hidden Heirlooms: Shed And Buried
At 14:00 UTC, Shed And Buried: Classic Cars follows Henry and Fuzz as they rescue an Austin A40 and a Humber Hawk. The focus on the painstaking restoration process keeps the tension high.
Opinion: While it’s a bit slower, the show rewards patience with satisfying outcomes.

Opinion: The show is gripping for enthusiasts of aviation and restoration alike.
Nostalgic Treasure Hunts (The Repair Shop)
Between 20:00 UTC and 23:00 UTC, The Repair Shop offers a rotating lineup of projects: a rusty penny‑farthing, a hand‑crafted spinning wheel, a vintage film projector, and a 1930s doll. Each episode shows artisans breathing new life into forgotten items.
Opinion: The variety keeps the show fresh; it’s a reliable choice for families and history buffs.
Outback Adventures (Trucks & Opals)
At 22:00 UTC, Outback Opal Hunters and Outback Truckers give a glimpse into the rugged Australian life of mining and trucking.
