Episode 8
After making it through seven weeks of challenges, and seeing off eight other competitors, only two designers now remain, ready to go head-to-head to win a life-changing contract to redesign a top London cocktail bar.
The two finalists arrive back at the design studio to hear from host Alan Carr and series judge Michelle Ogundehin what their final challenge will be. Michelle has left the best to last, as she reveals that the final will be held in Brighton, where each designer will be making over two of the city's thriving pubs in the busy tourist hotspot of the city's North Lanes.
One will transform an award-winning gastro pub with a field-to-fork ethos. With a rustic interior that now looks dated and an underappreciated upstairs room that's seen better days, they will have their work cut out. The owners want to refresh the look and feel and restore the pub's identity. Meanwhile down the road, the other contestant is tasked with transforming a traditional community-based pub into a fun day-to-night venue aimed at a younger clientele.
Briefing done, the finalists head into the city to see their pubs for the first time. As they face their biggest spaces of the competition, both are overwhelmed by the scale of the task ahead. Each designer has three days, a gang of tradespeople and a budget of £6,000. Because it's the final, they can select a supporting designer from their former competitors to help.
With many key design elements only coming together in the very last moments, it's a race to the finish line for the finalists as they give everything they've got in pursuit of their dream prize.
Joining Michelle to help decide who should be crowned winner is hospitality expert and restaurateur Nisha Katona, and internationally renowned interior designer Abigail Ahearn.

American Pickers
This isn't your grandmother's antiquing. The American Pickers are on a mission to recycle America, even if it means diving into countless piles of grimy junk or getting chased off a gun-wielding homeowner's land.

The show follows the team as they scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and hearing their amazing stories. If you think the antique business is all about upscale boutiques and buttoned-up dealers, this show may change your mind – and teach you a thing or two about American history along the way.
McDonald & Dodds
McDonald & Dodds is set in Bath and follows the wildly ambitious DCI McDonald, who is partnered with the shy, modest DS Dodds. While McDonald has transferred from the mean streets of South London to leap up the career ladder, Dodds has happily languished on the shelf for most of his working life.
McDonald is a tough, driven, battering ram of a cop who cracks cases through sheer force of will; Dodds – the tortoise to her hare – is quiet, unassuming and enigmatic. But thrust back into frontline action for the first time in a decade, he discovers a hidden talent for deciphering puzzles. Two contemporary Britons, seemingly with nothing in common, thrown together, boss McDonald and loyal sidekick Dodds forge a rumbustious, entertaining and ultimately – give or take a few setbacks – effective partnership.
