Episodes
Episode 1
Pairs of contestants receive a modest starting pot of seed money comprising £250. As soon as they receive the cash the clock starts ticking and their mission is clear - double the money within the next exhilarating few hours or face elimination from the game. The stakes get higher until one team ultimately wins a life-changing £20,000. Those taking part include father-and-son Dale and Harvey, competitive publicans Cath and Lynn, and best friends Radhika and Seema.
Episode 2
Round two sees the remaining teams with three days to turn £500 into £1,000. As the clock starts, a battle of the lemonade brews - as one team tries to pedal a homemade recipe, while another upsells supermarket pop. Elsewhere, one duo charges £60 a head for a supper club event, another opts for a rowdy bingo night and a rival team attempts to throw a high-end party in an upmarket nightclub. When the clock stops, the teams return to The Vault to see who managed to double their money and kept their place in the competition.
Episode 3
Round 3 sees the remaining teams afforded one week to double £1,000. The twins host an event for local ladies in Leeds, while married couple Nissy and Ben offer a webinar on how to have a happy marriage. On Bournemouth beach, a father and son decide to run a hook-a-duck game, but at £5 a go they'll need a lot of customers to reach the £2,000 target. Best friends Radhika and Seema host an erotic art workshop on an industrial estate in north-west London for £75 per person, while in Telford, Dale and Harvey attempt to stage a talent show contest.
Episode 4
The remaining eight teams are given two weeks to double their £2,000 stake. Half of the teams decide to host events and most of the rest attempt food-based ideas. An exception is Nissy and her husband Ben who decide to flip cars, even though motoring expert Ben is away on a work trip. Twins Gabrielle and Marissa host a make-up masterclass, but in a bombshell moment find they're blocked from social media. Elsewhere, best friends Shay and Samina's family fun days risks being a washout.
Episode 5
The remaining teams gather for the semi-final, where they must turn £4000 into £8000 in just three weeks. One team host party bus tours, another pair trade in liquidated stock, while others put on food, drinks and music festivals and wellness social networks. Tensions run high as they find out who's made it into the final.

Black Mirror
Over the last ten years, technology has transformed almost every aspect of our lives before we've had time to stop and question it.

Black Mirror is a contemporary British re-working of The Twilight Zone with stories that tap into the collective unease about our modern world.
When Calls the Heart
When Calls the Heart is inspired by Janette Oke's bestselling book series about the Canadian West, the series tells the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal mining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges. Upon arrival, Elizabeth befriends Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads. Set against the wild canvas of a 19th century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
