Grace's Amazing Machines is one of the most popular and well loved titles on Cbeebies. This is a magazine formatted series in which motorbike rider Grace test drives all kinds of machines to find her favourites. Grace is a dynamic all-action presenter and she has driven everything from high powered jet-water propelled flyboards to industrial carrot pickers. The show has even been to Florida so Grace can test out swamp machines. With The Darkness creating the title music and Grace drawing attention as an outstanding role model, plus exciting high octane content that the audience love, Grace's Amazing Machines is a ground-breaking, high-powered ride.
