Adam – Your Beautiful Rustic Bench Seat
Tonight, Adam builds a bench seat from Australian hardwood that will look fantastic in any outdoor setting. This is truly a project you can have a crack at this weekend. All the materials are easy to get from the hardware store, it’s easy to make, and will cost a pittance of what you might expect to pay for it in a shop. And the beauty of it is, the rougher you make it, the more timelessly rustic it will look!

Fast Ed – Sweet Potato And Bacon Fritters
Are you bored of your regular cooking repertoire? This week, Fast Ed’s showing you how to mix it up without breaking the bank. The whole family will love these cheesy sweet potato fritters, which are stuffed with bacon and then served with a roasted tomato salad. Best of all, it’ll set you back $15 to feed the whole family, which makes this dish a real winner.

Fast Ed – Apple Beignets With Caramel Sauce
Beignets may sound fancy, but these Dutch treats are really simple and inexpensive to make. In fact, these apple slices fried in batter happen to be one of Ed’s favourite desserts of all time – combined with a salted caramel sauce, this dish is absolute perfection.

Charlie – Dune Garden Walkaround – Sorrento
The sandy dunes of Sorrento, on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula, are hardly what plant-lover’s dream about.

But landscaper Steve Taylor has worked his magic and created a stunning, unique Mediterranean garden which is full of inspiration. With ornamental pears, stone walls and loads of beautiful green plants, there is so much here for Charlie to explore.

Dr Harry – Wolfhound Walking Issues
Dr Harry is encountering a pooch problem unlike any he’s seen before: a dog who doesn’t like to go on walks! It might sound like un-doggy like behaviour but in fact, there might be a more serious reason why Spud the Irish Wolfhound is acting this way, as Dr Harry is about to find out.
