More4 Wednesday Nightline: From B&B Showdowns to Crime Drama…
If you’re looking for a night that’s part hospitality, part mystery, and part makeover, this More4 schedule has you covered. Below is the full lineup with London times, a quick opinion on each show, and a short verdict at the end to help you decide where to start.
03:50 – 07:00 | Discover Must Have Ideas: Shopping
A light‑hearted showcase of the latest home‑and‑garden gadgets. Still entertaining for the casual viewer, but not the centerpiece of the night.
07:00 – 08:55 | Discover Must Have Ideas: Shopping
The second half of the shopping segment. Reliable as filler content, but you’ll want to keep an eye on the more dynamic programmes that follow.
08:55 – 10:00 | Heir Hunters (S10 Ep12)
A genealogical hunt that’s as much about family drama as it is about inheritance. One of the better options when you’re craving a bit of investigative intrigue.
10:00 – 10:35 | Four in a Bed – The Buck Inn, Yorkshire
Fay and Ray host a clash‑worthy breakfast that tests the hosts’ hospitality skills. The B&B drama is the highlight of the evening.
10:35 – 12:10 | Four in a Bed – The Lion Hotel, Pontypool
Manager Marc Harris and chef Wayne Williams try to deliver a high‑end service but tensions boil over over dinner. It’s still entertaining, but the stakes are a bit lower than the opening episode.
12:10 – 12:40 | Four in a Bed – The New Inn, Talgarth
Ex‑naval officer Damon Lewis brings a disciplined approach to breakfast. A solid episode, but the drama is not as sharp as earlier.
12:40 – 14:20 | Come Dine with Me (Episodes 1‑5)
A series of dinner‑party battles featuring Merseyside hosts. The final episode (Jamie Somers vs Jade Chantelle) provides a satisfying conclusion. One of the better options for viewers who want a bit of culinary competition.
14:20 – 15:50 | Four in a Bed – The Buck Inn, Yorkshire (second visit)
The hosts face a new set of guests and a fresh set of challenges. The tension builds, and the episode keeps the drama at a steady pace.
15:50 – 16:50 | Four in a Bed – The Buck Inn (final day)
All the hosts meet for the last time, and the winner is announced. It’s a reliable conclusion to the series, though the payoff isn’t as dramatic as the earlier episodes.
16:50 – 17:55 | George Clarke’s Old House New Home (S5 Ep2)
The renovation duo tackles a period house and a dog’s dinner in Yorkshire, then moves to Buckinghamshire for a cocktail bar. The project is a good example of how to blend historic charm with modern flair.
17:55 – 18:55 | Location, Location, Location (S39 Ep6)
Steph and Mark update their Nottingham nest, while Elliot and James aim for a Windsor wonderland. The episode is a reliable look at family home transformations.
18:55 – 20:55 | Grand Designs (S9 Ep5)
Tracy and Steve Fox attempt to build an ‘urban shed’ from industrial materials in a London milk yard. The engineering challenges are both reliable and intriguing.
20:55 – 21:55 | New: My Floating Home (S5 Ep3/4)
Peter and Tracy upgrade their water‑based life with a bespoke boat. The show is a reliable and engaging look at floating home design.
21:55 – 23:05 | 24 Hours in Police Custody (Ep1/2)
A young woman’s 999 call triggers a rape investigation that uncovers a dangerous suspect. It’s a reliable crime drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
23:05 – 00:10 | 24 Hours in Police Custody (Ep2/2)
The investigation concludes with new evidence and a looming threat of the suspect’s release. One of the better options for viewers who enjoy hard‑boiled investigative shows.
00:10 – 01:15 | 999: On the Front Line (S8 Ep9)
Paramedics treat a series of emergencies, from a man refusing to move to a child struggling to breathe. The episode is a reliable portrayal of emergency response.
01:15 – 02:20 | 24 Hours in Police Custody (Ep1/2 – repeat)
A repeat of the first half of the investigation. Good for viewers who missed the earlier segment.
02:20 – 03:25 | 24 Hours in Police Custody (Ep2/2 – repeat)
A repeat of the second half of the investigation. Another reliable option for late‑night watchers.
03:25 – 03:55 | A Place in the Sun (S2 Ep8)
Steve and Dawn explore holiday homes in southern Spain for £220,000. A reliable, if slightly low‑stakes, travel series.
03:55 – 07:00 | Discover Must Have Ideas: Shopping (repeat)
The final segment of the shopping showcase, a reliable wrap‑up to the night.
Bottom line: The evening’s real‑life drama peaks with “Four in a Bed” at the start, followed by a compelling crime investigation on “24 Hours in Police Custody.” If you’re looking for something light, the shopping and travel shows are the best filler. Finish with “999: On the Front Line” for a dose of adrenaline before the midnight hour.
