Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger was a New Zealand science-based reality television series broadcast on TV3. Each episode saw the two hosts, James Coleman and Greg Page, work to produce a "new and improved" version of a household appliance or object.^[1] At the beginning of each episode, the hosts selected their team from a combined pool of five people, four of whom had skills that were of value to the project, and one of whom (the wildcard) did not. They then spent the remainder of the day in a shed producing the new device, before holding competitive tests the following morning. The tests were adjudicated by Kirsten Pederson.

Before the series aired, Coleman told news media that the episode in which he attempted to make a clothes drier from a lawnmower engine and an angle grinder was a near-disaster, as "The clothes ended up being distributed in specks of cotton around the laundry and the hooks flew off and embedded themselves around the set," but "Luckily, they didn't kill or blind anyone." ^[1]

The series was nominated for an Aotearoa Film & Television Award in 2011.^[2]

Episodes

No.	Task	Original air date{{Episode list	EpisodeNumber = 01	Title = Vacuum cleaners	2011\|02\|07}}	ShortSummary = In the series opener, Page devised an elegant solution to recreating the vacuum cleaner using a venturi system.

The rocket was later auctioned for charity.^[3] }{{Episode list	EpisodeNumber = 03	Title = Toasters	2011\|2\|21}}	ShortSummary = The challenge was to cook and eat four slices of toast in the quickest time. Coleman chose the wildcard (a life coach), and opted to build a propane-powered bolt-action toaster. Page built a toaster around halogen light bulbs, and destroyed the breakfast table.}{{Episode list	EpisodeNumber = 04	Title = Showers	2011\|2\|28}}	ShortSummary = The teams had to create a power shower that used the least amount of water. Team Page created a misting shower, and Coleman, a petrol powered monstrosity.}{{Episode list	EpisodeNumber = 05	Title = Waste disposal	2011\|3\|07}}	ShortSummary = In developing a method of disposing of a garbage bag full of rubbish, Page's team fashioned a pneumatic press, while Team Coleman's team built a giant air cannon, believed to be the largest in the southern hemisphere.^[1]}{{Episode list	EpisodeNumber = 06	Title = Barbecues	2011\|3\|14}}	ShortSummary = The teams did the unthinkable and redesigned the BBQ.
