Unless I'm missing a trick none of the Discovery channels are on Freeview. Only Sky 3 and Sky Travel, neither of which I watch that much.

Hi all, found this on the Discovery Channel Website regarding the TVR S2.
TVR S2 - Episode 15
Expert car trader Mike Brewer and star mechanic Edd China have a job on their hands, getting a TVR and restoring it all for £5000.
The TVR S is unmistakable, brutal, basic and British - a real driver’s car.
With help from TVR members clubs Mike is told about a good looking TVR on an auction website, but not wanting to bid blind he takes the long trip up to Yorkshire to see it. Liking what he sees he books himself into a local hotel and gets straight on his computer to make the winning bid of £2550.
With car in hand he begins the drive back to the workshop but it’s not the smooth drive he was hoping for. As the miles drag on Mike finds out more than just basic maintenance needs to be done to this car.
If parts are needed for this car it’s not a simple task, and it can get expensive.
When Mike gets the car to Edd at the workshop he begins working on it straight away and he notices that he isn’t able to fix the radiator - it will need outside specialist help, making a bit of a dent in the budget.
Edd finds a few issues when he begins work on the TVR but can he keep costs down so they can make a decent profit in the end?
TVR S2 - Episode 16
Wheeler dealer Mike Brewer has bought himself a driver's dream car, a 1989 TVR S2 for £2550.
The TVR S2 makes you smile, it gets the juices flowing and delivers driving thrills that blow your socks off, but they are also notorious for being unreliable, and no sooner had Edd whipped out his tools for a poke around the problems kept coming.
With the radiator needing a re-core and an issue with the servo there is still plenty of work to be done before being ready for sale.
With a 5 grand budget Mike is hoping the other jobs, including sorting out the scrappy seats and the fragile electrics, aren’t going to cost an arm and a leg because at the end of the day it’s all about making a profit.
With the final maintenance checks done and the refurbed seats put back in the car it is ready for a test drive. Mike finally has the good looking, smooth driving car he was after and it’s now time for him to sell the car.
But with all the unpleasant surprises this car brought with it can he make a profit?
