Quest saves its new titles for the second half of primetime

The interesting part of Quest’s evening starts at 9pm, when two programmes the channel bills as new take over: Sam Lovegrove: Race Mechanic, then MotoGP Highlight Shows at 10pm. Before that it is the usual run of antiques and workshops.

Sam Lovegrove: Race Mechanic is the pick for anyone who wants something that has not been on all week. It faces Gogglebox, Ambulance: Code Red and Murder: Suspect No 1, so it is a niche choice against crowded shows, and that is fine. The same title appears on two days in the window, so tonight is not its only appearance. The MotoGP Highlight Shows at 10pm follow on from it, with the same two-day footprint. The pairing is the most deliberate scheduling on the channel tonight, and I would watch the two together.

Before them comes Richard Hammond’s Workshop at 8pm. Quest runs it at 1am and 2am as well as at 8pm, so it gets three showings in a day. It goes up against Panorama and Only Connect, and it is on three days in the window.

Antiques Road Trip opens primetime at 7pm. It is a BBC Two series that Quest has aired on all ten days in the window. It is dependable and undemanding, and a good fit for the hour before the main shows.

The rest of the day is a loop of Salvage Hunters, Aussie Gold Hunters, Outback Opal Hunters and Shed And Buried, with How Do They Do It? closing the night at 11pm. Those are fixtures and sit in the table below.

Verdict: Race Mechanic at 9pm is the one to try. The rest of the schedule is Quest on autopilot.
