Midweek Must‑Watch: More4 Brings B&B Battles & Food Fights

Wednesday on More4 packs a punch with B&B drama, culinary duels and the occasional rescue. Here’s what you can’t miss.

Four in a Bed – The Ultimate B&B Showdown (08:55–11:05 GMT)

From the historic Peniarth Arms to the glamping site in Pembrokeshire, this series pits B&B owners against each other in a test of hospitality. The 35‑minute episodes show hosts Toby, Ryan, James and later, Carolyn, battling for the top spot. The show keeps you on edge with tense payment days and the occasional culinary mishap.

My take: The format is still entertaining, though the clash of personalities can feel a bit predictable. Still, the stakes – cash prizes and bragging rights – keep it engaging.

Come Dine with Me – Food, Flavour and Friendly Rivalry (11:35–14:15 GMT)

Five episodes of Leeds‑based diners take turns hosting a dinner party. Jill’s vegan menu, Sophia’s Mediterranean poetry night, Will’s Malaysian dishes, Mark’s Italian cycle‑themed spread, and Satty’s Bollywood bash offer a wide range of culinary styles. Each host must juggle food, entertainment and scoring.

My take: The show remains reliable as a light‑hearted watch. The variety of themes keeps it fresh, though the competitive scoring can feel gimmicky.

Car S.O.S – The 1970s Bond Car Rescue (16:50–17:50 GMT)

Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend attempt to revive a 1970s Lotus Esprit that has been idle for two decades. The episode showcases restoration challenges and automotive nostalgia.

My take: The restoration drama holds up well for car enthusiasts, but may not captivate a broader audience.

American Pickers – Hunting for Hidden Treasures (17:50–18:50 GMT)

Frank and Mike travel to New York to uncover a trove of folk art, military memorabilia and even an oddity involving an elephant and an alligator. Their finds come with quirky backstories.

My take: The show offers one of the better options for fans of quirky history, though the pacing can slip.

The Dog House – Wagging Tales from the UK (19:55–21:00 GMT)

Three‑year‑old Ollie searches for a forever friend, while Frankie helps a family confront a past dog‑attack trauma. The episode balances heartwarming moments with genuine dog‑care advice.

My take: The emotional core makes it a reliable pick for animal lovers, though some plotlines feel repetitive.

New: Our Tiny Islands – Secrets of the British Isles (21:00–22:00 GMT)

This brand‑new series explores Alderney, Lundy and Papa Westray, revealing local wildlife and landscapes. The hour‑long episode offers a fresh perspective on small islands.

My take: As a debut, it holds up well and promises more intriguing content in future episodes.

Bottom line

More4 delivers a varied lineup that balances light entertainment with niche interest. If you’re in the mood for B&B drama or culinary rivalry, you’ll find what you need. For car lovers and history buffs, the late‑night shows add depth to the schedule.
