Germaine Greer joins host Dave Gorman this week, as the show that searches for ideas with more than a hint of genius about them concludes.

Submissions in tonight's final episode include: fruit machine ATMs; onionade as a drink; female-only votes that redress the balance of history; and randomising the days of the week by lottery.

Gorman and Greer discuss, theorise and sometimes road-test the ideas to discover which of the inventors will be crowned winner and declared genius – taking home the Genius trophy and an immense sense of self-fulfilment.

Monday 20 to Friday 24 April
9.00-9.10am CBEEBIES
12.30-12.40pm CBEEBIES

Timmy becomes fixated with loud noises after hearing thunder during a storm, in the final visit of the week to his cosy nursery. The loveable lamb starts banging anything he can find, but poor Apricot is frightened of all these sounds, until she finds some objects to bang together for herself...

From the makers of Shaun The Sheep, Timmy Time is stylised, bright and colourful and features stories presented with charm, humour and bags of fun. Set in cosy farm buildings in gently rolling hills, Timmy's nursery is the perfect place for a young lamb to start finding his place in the world.

Only on CBeebies, Timmy Time is Aardman's first pre-school series. Specially created for two- to five-year-olds five-year-olds, it combines the studio's world-class "stop motion" techniques with the colourful simplicity of classic pre-school animation.
