I refuse to read anything about Extreme Dreams with Ben Fogle (BBC Two, Thursday, 6.30pm) in advance because the title offers so much promise. Ben Fogle gets himself rigged up to a machine that can transmit his weirdest visions directly onto our screens. Underneath all that bonhomie lies a dark and troubled soul that is filled with apocalyptic visions of the future where lizard men goose-step around Britain tearing babies heads off and speaking in deafening white noise.

On Thursday, will we see Fogle’s dream of going completely mental in a shopping centre with a hosepipe shooting snake venom and screaming obscenities at shopping pensioners? Or maybe we’ll get to peer into Ben’s murky mind as he undergoes a hideous transformation into some kind of human/fly hybrid and takes flight over the Home Counties, spraying everything he sees with a pre-digestive bile and cackling wildly into the wind? In all honesty, the show will probably feature Fogle somewhere virtually inhospitable being rather nice and possibly sporting a blond beard.
