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. 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.

ShortSummary
| - In the series opener, Page devised an elegant solution to recreating the vacuum cleaner using a venturi system. Coleman harnessed the power of a home-made jet engine to increase the suction of the domestic vacuum cleaner but destroyed half the set in the process. (en)
- Team Page created a freeze-drying solution whilst Coleman harnessed the power of a lawn-mower engine to create a highly dangerous centrifuge. (en)
- Page created a mega-mower, and in his most ambitious project of the series Coleman creates a flame-thrower to ensure that he never has to mow his lawn again. (en)
- The teams are challenged to create a machine that will do a household chore and also make tea. Page created a wallpaper remover/tea maker, while Coleman fashioned a chainsaw that also made tea. (en)
