Phil Spencer's History of Britain in 100 Homes - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
From Cave Dwellers to Home Makers
The first episode covers nearly 13,000 years, from 11,000 BC to the 1600s, in 13 homes of all shapes, sizes and styles. From primitive prehistoric pads to houses built as status symbols, Phil shows us how our lives changed, as we evolved from cave-dwellers to proud homeowners.
Lavish Properties and Revolutionary Social Housing
This time, Phil tells the story of Britain in the 17th and 18th centuries through 14 homes. Phil explores how some of the rich built lavish properties to show off their great wealth, while others used their great fortunes to help give the less well-off reasonable dwelling places. Phil heads to Liverpool to hear how slave merchants used the money accrued from human suffering to create large luxurious homes. In Edinburgh, Phil checks out a stunning family home built to escape the city's poor. At the same time a philanthropist in New Lanark created a whole village of homes for his mill workers.

Abbott Elementary
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.
Chicago P.D.
District 21 of the Chicago Police Department is made up of two distinctly different groups. There are the uniformed cops who patrol the beat and go head to head with the city's street crimes. And there's the Intelligence Unit, the team that combats the city's major offenses - organized crime, drug trafficking, high profile murders and beyond. These are their stories.
The Night Agent
The Night Agent is a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low-level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast-moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.
Chicago Fire
No job is more stressful, dangerous or exhilarating than those of the Firefighters, Rescue Squad and Paramedics of Chicago Firehouse 51. These are the courageous men and women who forge headfirst into danger when everyone else is running the other way and whose actions make the difference between life and death. These are their stories.
