It is on TLC, locally in Montreal the show airs on Wednesday night. I saw
the marathon session while I was visiting friends in Pheonix. But I think
some of the items that the participants needs are planned. There was one
show where a group needed special plastic films to construct a Helium air
ship. Ordinary plastic won't do because helium atoms are small and regular
plastic will let the helium escape. They ended finding a brand new roll
of plastic film in the boot of a car for them to construct their air ship.
