Pimp My Red Nose Ride
Tim Westwood presents a special edition of Pimp My Ride in which he visits an old people's home in Staffordshire and then pimps their dishevelled 12-year-old LDV community transport bus. The finished bus came complete with waterproof seating, a walking stick rack and an onboard bingo hall.
Stash of Celebrity Swag
Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr raid a celebrity's mansion in an updated version of Through the Keyhole and steal some of their belongings. Viewers can call in to win the bag of swag if they can guess, from the really obvious clues, who the swag belongs too. This phone-in competition was later subject to an investigation in which it was revealed the winner was faked. After the first two genuine callers got the answer wrong the queue was lost. After a delay the third caller and subsequent winner was faked by a crew member.[1]
