**Wonder Goys** : A Jewish novelist gets through a difficult divorce with the help of a perky grad student and a bunch of Christian friends.

**Carscape** Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May review all the hot new Transport Pods, Farscape Modules, Peacekeeper Prowlers and other high performance spacecraft

Look for the ever popular “Critter in a reasonably priced Starship” section, and watch as The Stig wrings as much performance possible out of the latest Interstellar Transport devices

Some say his favourite breakfast food is Dilithium Crystals, and he’s the only thing that can escape from the gravity well of a black hole, all we know is, he’s called The Stig

**Top Fear** Clarkson, Hamster and Captain Slow discuss what really scares them this week

**The Balking Dead** Our heroes attempts to survive the Zombie Apocalypse are made easier because the Zombies have to stop and think if they _really_ want to go ahead and eat flesh and Braaaiiinss anyway, thrilling Zombie killin’ action is replaced with even _MORE_ pathos, angst, and navel gazing, but this time it’s the _ZOMBIES_ that are doing it, all in moans and groans (in what passes for Zombie “language”)

**The Baking Dead** These zombies are too sophisticated and “cultured” to simply eat _raw_ flesh, how _COMMON!_, everyzombie knows that human flesh _MUST_ be properly spiced, seasoned and prepared before consumption…

**The Rocking Dead** The remains of Jerry Garcia and his band walk the earth in search of human flesh, but not just _any_ human flesh, these zombies only eat _Hippies_ and Stoners
