Dara O Briain's Go 8 Bit - Season 3

Season 3

Award-winning comedian and well-known gaming and technology fan Dara O Briain hosts this third, brand new, ten-part comedy series celebrating the world of video games.

Part comedy panel show, part physical game show and wholly competitive, each week Dara is joined by his core team of respected games expert and comedian Ellie Gibson and comedians and team captains, gaming fan Steve McNeil and gaming muggle Sam Pamphilon.

The series cherry-picks 50 video games from the past four decades including classics such as Defender, Gauntlet, Super Mario Bros., Minecraft, The Sims, Tomb Raider, Aladdin, Football Manager, Rock Band, Worms Armageddon and Batman Arkham Asylum - all recorded in front of an interactive studio audience, who rate and score the teams via their smartphones.

The series also features twenty very competitive star guests; gaming fans and comedians (TBA) who battle it out - very vocally and passionately - over five of the video games, in a bid to become Go 8 Bit champions.

Ultimately, the food does the talking, as one-by-one the losing chefs "check out," by a rotating panel of judges that includes Melissa d'Arabian, Richard Blais, G. Garvin, Troy Johnson, Catherine McCord, Aarti Sequeira, among others. The last chef standing goes on a shopping spree of a lifetime worth up to $20,000!

The Repair Shop

The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.

Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.

Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.

The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
