The Weekend Workshop, 8pm, HGTV
As well as loving wildlife, Kate Humble likes nothing more than making stuff. In this new series, she’s joined by fellow upcycling fans Max McMurdo and Zoe Pocock, who will be turning unloved junk into masterpieces, each from their own home. The projects are ambitious – in this first episode Kate makes a clay pizza-oven, Max turns an old Land Rover into a hot tub, and Zoe transforms an old cabinet and mirror. There are lots of great ideas but also lots of work, kit and know-how, which may put off a few novices.
