Thursday on More4: From Heir Hunting to B&B Showdown – Pick Your Prime Time
If you’re hunting for a solid night of TV, More4’s Thursday schedule has a smorgasbord of drama, design and culinary rivalry. Below we break down the highlights, toss in a few personal takes and point out the shows that deserve a front‑row seat.
Heir Hunters – A Royal Riddle
07:55 BST – 09:00 BST. The episode unravels a search for heirs to a Welsh school site, oddly linked to a former U.S. president. While the premise feels a little like a reality‑TV mash‑up, the narrative keeps you glued, especially when the team digs up a Liverpudlian lady’s relatives. It’s one of the more grounded yet intriguing options in the lineup.
Four in a Bed – B&B Wars
09:00 BST – 11:40 BST. Over two hours, the B&Bers battle for title across a string of quirky lodgings. From moth‑laden beds to a double‑decker conversion, the format delivers a steady mix of hospitality drama and humour. If you enjoy a light‑hearted competition, this is the segment to stick to.
Come Dine with Me – Culinary Chess
11:40 BST – 14:20 BST. Five episodes pick up a rotating host, offering a mix of ambition, rivalry and a splash of culinary flair. The early entries are a bit uneven, but by episode four the host’s European line‑dance subplot adds a fresh twist. It’s a decent choice for a feel‑good evening.
Car S.O.S – Restoring Classics
16:50 BST – 18:55 BST. Two episodes on restoring a Mk2 RS2000 and a 1994 Cavalier Turbo bring a nostalgic, hands‑on feel to the evening. The emotional backstory of the owners gives the mechanic work a human layer. If you’re a car enthusiast, this will keep you engaged.
Grand Designs – Architectural Ambition
18:55 BST – 20:00 BST. Architect David Parsons shows off a black‑clad home tucked in Essex woodland, sparking debate over its lack of windows. The design tension is subtle but captivating, and the show maintains its trademark blend of ambition and practicality.
The Reclaimers – Made in Suffolk
20:00 BST – 21:00 BST. Andy and Hayley tackle a salvage job at Norwich Castle, transforming an old cloakroom into something fresh. The show’s DIY ethos offers a satisfying payoff for viewers who love a good makeover.
24 Hours in A&E – Hospital Realities
21:00 BST – 01:20 BST. Over four blocks, the series showcases the breadth of trauma care at St George’s. The mix of high‑intensity cases and quieter moments gives the show a balanced narrative.
999: On the Front Line – Emergency Response
23:10 BST – 00:15 BST. A paramedic team deals with a range of emergencies, from a seizure on a bus to a terminally ill woman’s collapse. The raw depiction of emergency work adds a serious tone to the evening.
Bottom line: More4’s Thursday lineup offers a mix of light‑hearted competition, design drama and hard‑hitting reality. Pick the B&B showdown for a fun night or the emergency series if you want something more grounded.
