Episodes
Rover MGF
The team find the worst MGF in the country, looking a mess on a retail forecourt. The car doesn't drive but it's a cheap way into a quick British sporty ragtop. With serious leaks and wings that have faded so much they are pink the boys quickly discover that a cheap car is cheap for a reason.
Fiat 126
What do you buy if you like a classic Fiat but the classic 500 is out of your league? Yep, the 126 is the new target of the team and the one they find is rust-free but runs terribly. What starts out as a simple task to replace a gasket turns into a huge nightmare.
Triumph Herald
The Herald is a great entry-level classic and this one only has 2 owners and 50K miles. It's also undriving, stuck in a barn. If the duo can address it's engine, fuel, braking and gearbox then it'll be a gem. But it's a big IF.
Mini Cooper
British car enthusiasts Will and Gus and the team know the BMW Mini popular, but there are so many of them it's hard to make one which stands out and will make money. The donor car for this episode is a car that overheats. Bought for only £600 on eBay, it's the right price, but it's not a happy car.
Rolls Royce
When people talk about the quality and appeal of the classic Rolls they don't mean the one the team locate in Yorkshire. This one was owned by a colourful character and has been sitting in a field for years. It looks awful. The interior is full of mould. But it's cheap. What's the worst that can happen?
Mercedes SLK 230
This once thirty thousand pound car has been given up on. The previous owner can't get the roof to work or the car to run, so they are selling it. The car looks amazing - surely the car is a bargain? But once they get into it, the issues the car has are complex, fiddly and costly.
VW Golf Mk1 Clipper
A Golf like this is such a legend the guys instantly fall in love with it. But is it rusty? It looks tight, it seems good. It's only when they remove the wheel arch trims that the sad truth dawns. It's very rusty. Oh dear.
Citroen 2CV
The guys are looking for a French car that's NOT a 2CV as they are expensive and rusty. But once they come across this one, it's impossible to turn it down. Yes, it's rusty. Yes it's pricey but the car has a big heart and they hatch a plan to keep the rough edges but give it a new lease of life.
Audi 100 Avant
Gus and Will are after a classic BMW but Gus insists on a classic Audi that has caught his eye and forces it on Will. But it's the start of a joint love affair as the Audi's great engine and style wins them over. It's only when they get to the paint on one side they become unstuck.
Ford Orion Ghia
Everyone wants a classic Ford so the team target the Orion as it's probably the last one that's affordable. This one is definitively cheap but the steering wheel is on the wrong side, it's 9 shades of blue and registered in Portugal. How can they possibly make money on it?
Toyota Sera
The Sera is a concept car for the road, with gull-wing doors and a 50s style space-age glass roof. It's also extremely rare and the guys find one that's driving but not in the way they need. Is the famed Japanese engineering in place here or have we bought a lemon?
Land Rover Freelander
Once Europe's most popular 4 x 4, the Freelander looks good, drives well and is a perfect vehicle for FB as future values are set to rise. This one has failed the MOT test on so many items, the owner has thrown in the towel. It's cheap but a challenge.

Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team.

Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
