In his secret Monster Garage in California on weekdays at 8pm from Tuesday 1st June, Jesse James, presenter, master builder and partner to Hollywood actress, Sandra Bullock, assembles a team of designers, welders, mechanics and builders. The team pool their respective skills and spend seven days turning an ordinary automobile into the fastest, coolest and best machine ever seen - all exclusively for Discovery viewers.

In the first episode, Jesse, whose other claim to fame is that he’s great-great grandson of the legendary outlaw Jesse James, is challenged to turn a Ford Explorer into a fully functioning dustcart. The impressive resulting vehicle has arms extending from each side to pick up the rubbish bins and dump them into the back in one smooth motion. In subsequent episodes, Jesse and his squad of mechanics turn a stretch limousine into a fire engine, a Chevy into an ice rink smoother and a 1984 Porsche into the ultimate golf ball collector.

On Sunday 8th June at 9pm the brand new series Animal Face-Off presented by Dave Salmoni of Discovery's Living with Tigers, recreates two fierce animals as biomechanical beasts in a 'bite lab' with the help of scientific experts. In this neutral arena, neither animal has an unfair advantage and the outcome is decided scientifically between cyber beasts to determine which animal would most likely be triumphant were they ever to confront each other in the wild! Many of nature's deadliest confrontations are never seen and some of the mightiest beasts are destined never to meet - until now.

The series opens with a virtual fight between the lion and the tiger, which proves to be a close call. Later in the series, the salt-water crocodile goes bite to bite with the fearsome great white shark and the elephant is pitted against the rhinoceros. In subsequent episodes, the wolf meets the cougar, the Siberian tiger confronts the grizzly bear, the polar bear tackles the walrus, the alligator battles with the black bear and the gorilla fights the leopard. But which animal is the most fearsome predator of all – find out in Animal Face Off.
