Midweek Mayhem on More4: B&B Battles, Car Fixes, and Dog Drama – Pick Your Thrill
Wednesday’s lineup on More4 is a smorgasbord of reality and documentary that will keep you glued. From the cut‑throat competition of Four in a Bed to the mechanical mishaps of Car S.O.S, the channel delivers a mix of light entertainment and real‑world drama.
Four in a Bed – The B&B Showdown
Multiple episodes of Four in a Bed bookend the morning, each featuring a different host and venue. The first episode shows Karen MacDonald and Geoff Thomson attempting Zen in Edinburgh, only to uncover a messy dog‑friendly room. Subsequent visits take the format to Glencoe, Stourton, Derbyshire, and beyond, with each host battling guest complaints and the pressure of cash prizes.
My take: The show’s relentless pace can feel a bit frantic, but the personalities keep the stakes high and the audience engaged. It remains a reliable source of light‑hearted competition.
Come Dine with Me – Food, Fun, and Flaws
Mid‑morning, Come Dine with Me returns with five episodes of a culinary roulette. From Ptol’s over‑the‑top menu to DJ Francis Leigh’s Thai twist, the series showcases how quickly a dinner can turn from charming to chaotic.
My take: While the premise is familiar, the quirky twists keep the segment fresh. It still entertains without the need for high drama.
Car S.O.S – Reviving Retro Rides
In the afternoon, Car S.O.S takes on a neglected 1984 Ferrari 308 GTS and a rotting Land Rover Discovery. The duo of Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend bring a blend of nostalgia and technical skill to the screen.
My take: For car enthusiasts, the restoration process offers genuine interest, while the occasional mishap adds a touch of humor. It’s a solid watch for anyone who loves a good mechanical challenge.
The Dog House – Canine Capers
Later, The Dog House follows the adventures of various dogs, from timid puppy Harry to the boisterous American bulldog Buddy. The episodes highlight the dogs’ personalities and the families that love them.
My take: The show’s gentle tone and heartwarming moments make it a gentle detour after the more intense reality shows.
Scotland’s Golden Coast – New Horizons
The evening features a brand‑new series, Scotland’s Golden Coast, showcasing seabirds, historic railways, and the quirky village of Footdee. It offers a scenic escape with a touch of local colour.
My take: The documentary style is soothing, though it may not captivate those seeking high drama.
24 Hours in A&E & 999: On the Front Line – Medical Realism
Late night sees medical and emergency services in the spotlight. 24 Hours in A&E follows real patients while 999: On the Front Line follows paramedics dealing with life‑threatening calls.
My take: These shows provide a sobering look at frontline healthcare. They remain reliable sources of real‑world insight.
Bottom line
More4’s Wednesday schedule offers a balanced mix of light‑hearted competition, heartfelt animal stories, and genuine medical drama. Pick the segment that suits your mood and enjoy a diverse viewing experience.
