Floyd cooks up a storm in Madagascar with a visit to Zoma market where he rustles up three traditional dishes.

Later on safely back on dry land Keith treats his friends to a mouthwatering feast of stir fried prawns served on a bed of sunshine vegetables and (you guessed it) flambed in rum!

Still enjoying the delights of Madagascar Keith Floyd today cooks up some fish soup on board an old trading vessel in Majunga.

Jetting off to Lesotho Floyd has the honour of cooking for the Queen and conjures up chicken kebabs marinated in piri piri sauce sweetcorn fritters and a salad of pineapple and cucumber in wine vinegar and chilli - a feast fit for a ...Queen!

Later there are more delights in store when Floyd cooks Impala (antelope) dried fruit curry and a free range chicken curry which he describes as being somewhere between a biriani and a paella - sounds interesting!

Miss Austen

Miss Austen takes a literary mystery – Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane's letters – and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love, while creating in Cassandra a character as captivating as any Austen heroine.

The drama begins in 1830, a while after Jane has died. Cassandra races to see her young friend Isabella who is about to lose her home following her father's death. Cassandra is ostensibly there to help her friend, but her real motive is to find a stash of private letters which, in the wrong hands, could destroy Jane's reputation. On discovering them, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she is transported back to her youth. In flashback, we meet Young Cassy and Jane as they navigate the infatuations, family feuds and dashed hopes which shaped their lives and laid the foundations for Jane's unforgettable stories. Cassandra's re-evaluation of her past eventually leads her to realise how blind she has been to the real cause of Isabella's heartache and distress. Finding a way to guide Isabella towards true happiness, Cassandra is finally able to understand and celebrate the sacrifices she chose to make for her brilliant sister, Jane.

In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.

As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, it's the job Matt's been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him.
