'''''Grace's Amazing Machines''''' (known as '''''Catie's Amazing Machines''''' and presented by [[Catie Munnings]] for the first series) is a television series first shown on [[CBeebies]] in October 2018. The show's second series premiered on 21 October 2019; Munnings left the series to focus more on her rally racing career after receiving sponsorship from [[Red Bull]],<ref>[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2019/10/16/catie-munnings-interview-had-give-cbeebies-rally-driving/ Catie Munnings interview: Why I had to give up CBeebies for rally driving], ''The Daily Telegraph'', 16 October 2019</ref> and was replaced by Grace Webb.<ref>[https://mn2s.com/booking-agency/talent-roster/grace-webb/ Grace Webb], MN2S Management</ref> With this, the series was renamed to ''Grace's Amazing Machines''.
Presenter Grace Webb explains the role and basic mechanics of large and/or fast vehicles, usually ending up in the driving seat for a demonstration.<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.britishf3.com/british-f3-news/hillspeed-to-feature-on-new-cbeebies-show/ | publisher = British Formula 3 | accessdate = 2 November 2018 | date = 8 October 2018 | title = Hillspeed to star in new CBeebies show}}</ref> The format is similar for each episode; Munnings/Webb summons Speedie, a [[remote controlled car]], to deliver an envelope revealing the theme of the episode. Three machines are featured, from which she chooses her favourite. [[Vox pop]]s with children share their thoughts on the vehicles.
A [[glam metal]] soundtrack is provided by [[The Darkness (band)|The Darkness]].<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.clashmusic.com/news/the-darkness-are-soundtracking-cbeebies | website = Clash Music | title = The Darkness Are Soundtracking CBeebies | first = Robin | last = Murray | accessdate = 2 November 2018 | date = 3 October 2018}}</ref>
