Thursday Thrills on More4: From Heir Hunters to Four in a Bed
Here’s a rundown of the most compelling programmes you can catch on More4 this Thursday, complete with times, brief synopses, and a touch of opinion to guide you.
08:55 – 10:00 BST: Heir Hunters (S11 Ep18)
The hunt for a lost relative from Lambeth turns into a 26‑year‑old mystery that pulls a family back together. The reveal is tense, and the show holds up well as a low‑stakes drama.
10:00 – 11:05 BST: Four in a Bed (Episode 1)
Natalie Palmer hosts at The Oak pub and B&B in Charing, Kent. She’s polite but no fireworks – the competition is steady, not explosive.
11:05 – 11:35 BST: Four in a Bed (Episode 2)
Dennis Gilligan’s pub, The White Lady, faces a ghostly guest. The set‑up is charming, but the drama stays within comfortable bounds.
11:35 – 12:10 BST: Four in a Bed (Episode 3)
The B&Bers tackle a hilltop healing session with a former couple. It’s a gentle episode, good for viewers who prefer light conflict.
12:10 – 12:40 BST: Four in a Bed (Episode 4)
The final visit to Paignton adds a fresh B&B to the mix. The episode wraps up the week’s story nicely.
12:40 – 13:55 BST: Come Dine with Me (Series 5)
Five nights of culinary battles: a Baghdad‑inspired menu, construction‑themed dishes, hospital‑themed bites, a blind‑folded cocktail contest, and a local produce showcase. Each episode is a small adventure, and the series remains reliable for food‑loving viewers.
15:20 – 16:20 BST: George Clarke’s Old House New Home (S7 Ep1/5)
Phil and Leighla revamp a Georgian farmhouse, while a couple in Wootton Bassett re‑layout a Victorian terrace. The makeover angle is solid, though some might find the pacing a bit measured.
18:55 – 19:55 BST: Location, Location, Location (S39 Ep2)
In Edinburgh, Kirstie helps couples break free from flat‑living, while Phil navigates exclusive enclaves. The show’s focus on real‑world buying struggles gives it a useful, if not thrilling, edge.
19:55 – 21:00 BST: Grand Designs (S39)
Chris and Kayo build a radical home on heritage land, but the end result feels slightly disjointed. The drama is moderate; it’s good for fans of ambitious architecture.
21:00 – 22:05 BST: 24 Hours in A&E (S2 Ep4/14)
The episode explores how men manage pain, from a cyst to a dislocated shoulder. The medical drama is realistic, and it holds up well for viewers interested in health topics.
22:05 – 23:10 BST: 999 On the Front Line (S4 Ep8)
Paramedics tackle a teenager with suspected meningitis, a diabetic patient, and a man with a swollen artery. The show offers a realistic look at emergency work and is dependable for those who enjoy medical reality.
Bottom line: More4 offers a solid mix of family drama, culinary fun, and home‑renovation intrigue. Pick what fits your mood – from the tension of Heir Hunters to the lightness of Four in a Bed, and you’ll find something to keep you entertained.
