Changing Rooms with Ian_FRST
This week Ian guides us through the transformation of his living room, from stripping the wallpaper, through painting the ceiling, re-papering, then stripping once more after asking the audience if he's made the right choice or not. A lengthy series and with so many changes nobody can be sure if the house will ever be truly finished.

Crap In The Attic, with andyhardy (Men & Motors, 9pm)
Andy spends each weekend scouring his attic for articles he can sell to fund his numerous habits and hobbies. The first eleven episodes of this series saw him find the same finely-tuned 1.9 CVH engine each week; hopefully the latest installment will find Andy trying to sell something different.
How to launch with James 'heeman10' Forsyth:
Each week James tries to launch his car quicker than a pedestrian 7 seconds from 0 to 60 but each week he fails. This week he tries to blame his Mum for not giving him enough testosterone whilst in the womb with funny consequences...
Carburetted CVH p-p-powa!

Homo Showdown
Exploitative late-night series in which mincing homosexuals are enraged by the blase, homophobic taunts of "definitely straight" tradesmen and released into an arena to do battle. This week, heeman and andyhardy are goaded into action by the base wit of engine builders until a handbag-assisted battle royale is inevitable. Analysis by Terry Venables and Gary Lineker. Half-time entertainment by The Pussycat Dolls.
Smo Motion
Travelogue in which Smo journeys around the UK by car, switching to bicycle for the last 100yds for the camera, looking at various examples of classic vehicles. This week, Smo gives the impression of cycling around the Midlands and visits a trio of classic Vauxhalls near a once-great industrial town.
Fiction: Stranger Than Fact
Lighthearted yet earnest series in which Ollie travels around the world debunking popular myths propagated by vacant dimwits. Today, Ollie visits London to debase the Phil Si myth as an early attempt at internet social control and to examine the spurious rumours of an effective and popular London borough council.

What come's next? who care's, why worry about things over which you have no control. Freedom is a voyage of discovery with all the enjoyment of seeing things and experiencing events for the first time. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

The Price Is Right with Mike Wallis
A new show in which Mike travels around the country meeting people who are interested in buying his car, but won't have the money to buy it until some time in the future. Today, Mike visits a Scottish fishmonger who tells him he loves the car, but won't have the money for another 17 months. And of course, there's the regular slot 'It's Not Black, It's Actually A Dark Purple Colour Called "Aubergine"'.

Narrarated by John Barnes
It is at this juncture I wish to point out the differences between a chip shop and a fish shop: to be precise, the associated odours thereof. A chip shop may have dead fish knocking around by the hundred and may therefore impart a fishy smell to its employees; a fish shop, dealing only with live and therefore submerged fish, merely has a faint whiff of water and humidity with a touch of fish food.
Grant, fragrant throughout.

Top Gear
Travelogue presented by SimonT, detailing his alternative-culture experiences around the world. This week, Simon takes in the breathtaking scenery visible from the Eiffel Tower whilst reaching new plains of awareness using locally-sourced organic charlie. Next week: A mix-up at Afghan border control leaves Simon explaining the presence of a metric tonne of fairy dust to an aggressive, disinterested militiaman.

**Tonight Episode 12**
Chaos in Krakow
Alex and his lover run into deep water after the purchase of a late seventies Mustard-coloured Trabant. The errant pair disover their latest transportation is lacking in one vital component, an angine. "This wouldn't happen with a BX" snarls Alex. The pair are forced to hire a group of local orphans to push them to their next rendezvous which throws the schedule out. Tune in next week to see if the boys make it to Leningrad on time!

No, I Really Didn't Mean It Like That, with Grant Rafter
Expert pedant Grant Rafter returns for a second series of visits to popular internet forums in order to post sardonic and dry one-line comments about their users. This week, a comment on the Micra Owner's Group discussion board goes awry when Grant discovers that a man he accuses of being 'blind as a gibbon's urinary tract' is in fact David Blunkett. Plus, of course, the weekly spot 'VisorDown Pwns Joo'.

Re: If you could give an FT'er a tv show...
Outrage!
New Series. Challenge Anneka-style game show in which Paul Roberts attempts to offend as many purists in a nominated niche interest as possible before the timer runs out. Hot on the heels of his success in the pilot in which he angered the Focus RS Owners' Group by stripping a genuine RS car, he now faces up to the challenge of upsetting a rural Farmers' Market in Derbyshire with ingenious use of a motorway planning application.
Plebshock Social Nadshow
Occasional series in which Fil Feersum_Enjin consumes vast amounts of alcohol and ritually exposes himself in a heavily populated social situation. This week, Fil relaxes with six bottles of a FairTrade Chablis before presenting a breathtaking show for passersby in the Galleria shopping centre.

Bugger, I Shouldn't Have Broken That One
A bi-monthly hour-long special in which Dave Yanetski purchases a thoroughly great example of a Ford Fiesta, becomes bored with it before he's even arrived home. Will he break this one or won't he? Join Dave on a journey of joyful indecision as he comes to the inevitable conclusion that he is going to break the car, and then feel his pain as he sells off half the parts only to realise that he actually should have kept it after all. Great family entertainment.
