If you’re hunting for a late‑night binge, More4’s Thursday schedule offers a mix of drama, DIY inspiration, and reality‑TV staples. Below is a quick guide to the key shows, my personal verdict on each, and why you should tune in.
Heir Hunters – 08:55 – 10:00 BST
The team dives into a Leeds lift attendant’s family history as a house goes auction. Old‑world charm meets modern drama, and the show keeps you guessing who’s the real treasure hunter. Still entertaining for fans of property‑themed reality.
Four in a Bed – 10:00 – 11:40 BST (multiple episodes)
A series of B&B competitions that blend hospitality with humor. The latest episodes feature quirky hosts and unexpected twists. One of the better options for a light‑hearted palate cleanser.
Come Dine with Me – 11:40 – 14:20 BST
A familiar dinner‑party format that delivers both culinary mishaps and social banter. The final episode’s host, Russell, showcases his questionable cooking skills – a reliable, if not spectacular, watch.
George Clarke’s Old House New Home – 16:50 – 17:55 BST
George tackles a cramped 1930s terraced house, turning constraints into charm. The renovation showcases a blend of classic style and modern functionality – a solid pick for DIY enthusiasts.
Location, Location, Location – 17:55 – 18:55 BST
A property show that blends cheeky tactics with real‑life buying scenarios. It’s a one‑off episode, but offers an engaging look at the home‑buying process.
Grand Designs – 18:55 – 20:00 BST
Our top pick for the night. A pair of identical twins, Nik and Jon, build near‑identical houses in Sheffield, paying tribute to the city’s industrial past. Their meticulous craftsmanship and design decisions make this episode worth the two‑hour investment.
New: The Reclaimers: Made in Suffolk – 20:00 – 21:00 BST
A fresh take on restoration, featuring the team’s work on Tinkers Barn. Their dedication to preserving heritage is inspiring, though the pacing may feel slow for viewers craving high‑energy content.
A Place in the Sun – 22:20 – 22:55 BST
A journey to Jerez, Spain, as Kay and Barry search for their holiday home. The episode delivers a gentle narrative about family dreams and the Spanish market.
Discover Must Have Ideas: Shopping – 02:55 – 06:00 BST
A late‑night block offering the latest home and garden trends. Good for a quick scroll‑through of new products.
