Episode 14

In this episode of ‘The Gadget Show’ Jason and Suzi are set a challenge to design and build a gadget that will appeal to animals as well as humans. Who can produce the most innovative and ingenious gadget for pets? From a doggy treadmill to a flushing cat toilet, the duo endure animal mayhem as they test a selection of outlandish inventions in order to get some inspiration for their own builds. Despite being allergic to dogs, Jason opts for an automatic ball-launcher that takes the arm-work out of playing ‘fetch’ with a pooch. The idea is that the dog retrieves the ball and places it into the launcher. It is then hurled 30 metres and the process begins again. Because of her love of cats, Suzi decides to build a gadget for moggies. She always wonders where her cat goes when it disappears through the cat flap, so she develops a GPS tracking device and camera for cats to wear on a harness. Jason heads off to a dog show to see if his device has the audience begging for more, and Suzi tests her purr-fect invention with TV vet Scott Miller and his cat. Which invention will be a hit with the pets and their owners? Also this time, Ortis heads into the woods with ex-special forces hard man Mike Hawk to test the best pocket tools on the market. Jon, meanwhile, trawls through the top online photo-printing services available.

Episode 15

Jason and Ortis join forces to build an amazing power-tool racer. Following a thorough trouncing in 2008’s Silverline Power Tool Drag Race, they decide to enter again this year. This time, however, the boys really mean business! Firstly, Jason and Ortis assess the competition. They take a good look at the vehicles that have been victorious in previous years and research the technology behind their success. They also evaluate how their team came so hopelessly unstuck last year. Deciding that chainsaw-powered vehicles are the way to go, Jason and Ortis enlist the help of ace engineers Stewart Pilley and Matthew Ward. They then track down three Stihl 8.7bhp chainsaw engines, and set about constructing a cutting-edge chainsaw-powered go-kart that might place glory within their grasp... The team decides to source an old go-kart from a karting centre and strip it down. Ortis and Jason take out the engine, seat, steering wheel and existing wheels. The rear axle is also removed from the chassis and the gear ratio is calculated specifically for the chainsaws. Lastly, they paint the kart, add new wheels and fit protective plastic to the chassis. Race day finally arrives and Ortis and Jason head to Haynes Motor Museum in Somerset to see just what their go-kart is made of. Will Jason, Ortis and their chainsaw-powered go-kart blow the competition out of the water? Or will they be humiliated and defeated once again?

Based on the week's news, Have I Got News for You is fronted by guest hosts and features two regular team captains, Paul Merton and Ian Hislop. Each week the show invites two guests to cast a jaundiced eye over the week's news, resulting in a fast flow of anarchic, spontaneous and hugely entertaining wit and humour. Guests typically represent the world of politics, comedy, show-business and journalism, and are often themselves particularly newsworthy participants.

Good Omens

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (the world's only completely accurate book of prophecies), the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just before dinner.

So the armies of Good and Evil are amassing, Atlantis is rising, tempers are flaring. Everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon--both of whom have lived among Earth's mortals since The Beginning and have grown rather fond of the lifestyle--are not actually looking forward to the coming war.

And someone seems to have misplaced the Antichrist...

King and Conqueror

King and Conqueror is the story of a clash that defined the future of a country – and a continent – for a thousand years, the roots of which stretch back decades and extend out through a pair of interconnected family dynasties, struggling for power across two countries and a raging sea. Harold of Wessex and William of Normandy were two men destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings in 1066; two allies with no design on the British throne, who found themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for possession of its crown.
