Sarah Beeny's New Life in the Country - Season 3
Season 3
Episodes
Episode 1
Sarah and the family begin a new series by creating a traditional country house library, inspired by an 18th-century stately home she previously worked on. It will be covered from wall-to-wall in bespoke bookcases, with sustainable timber coloured to give it a rich, aged, antique appearance, and with another reading area to house more books - a cosy book nook on the landing. Graham installs the library's best kept secret - a hidden drinks cabinet.
Episode 2
Sarah and Graham turn their attention to the guest bedroom, with plans afoot to create a secret, Narnia-inspired room in the eaves, accessed through the bedroom wardrobe. The couple head to the local auction house in Wincanton, in search of the perfect pair of matching bedside tables. Sarah also wants to build a peaceful retreat in a corner of her garden. For inspiration, she takes Laurie to Taunton to see the Willow Cathedral, a unique living structure, to recreate back at home.
Episode 3
Sarah and Graham turn their attention to the family room and how best to use the empty space downstairs. They draw inspiration from the Chinese bedroom at Longleat House and the plant-based textiles and natural dyes on display at London Fashion Week. Sarah realises that she can't carry on working in random parts of the house, so comes up with a plan to seamlessly weave her workspace into the living area.
Episode 4
Sarah and Graham start work on their grand plans for the outside of their home - to create a mini clock tower, complete with a bell, on the roof of the exterior building. But once it's up, they find out that it doesn't fit onto the timber housing. Sarah and Laurie also make a unique family flag and Graham personalises the weathervane.
Episode 5
Sarah and Graham discover a whole load of odd antiques and family heirlooms that have been passed down through generations. Sarah decides that the best way to use this stuff in their new home is to transform their downstairs cloakroom into a Victorian cupboard of curiosities. Graham is reunited with some old taxidermy friends that they've inherited over the years, while Sarah and Laurie create some wooden coat hooks.
Episode 6
Graham and Sarah turn their attention to the garden, as they set out to turn Graham's picture of what he hopes the view from their kitchen may eventually look like into a reality. They go on the hunt for trees and shrubs that would improve the backdrop to their lake, restore an old bridge over a stream near their pond, and finish off the wall around the new terrace area.
Episode 7
Sarah and Graham measure up an area of lawn for a greenhouse which will provide not just a place to grow plants, but also a quiet spot for Sarah to retreat to. Sarah and Graham take Raffey and Laurie to the International Worm Charming Festival in Blackawton, Devon, while the family band prepare to go on tour, which will conclude with a gig at the CarFest music festival in Laverstoke Park, Hampshire.

Based on the first-hand experiences of a long serving witness protection officer, Protection is about what happens when the system breaks down. It's about a police officer, Detective Inspector Liz Nyles, who finds herself at the heart of such a breach; personally compromised by an affair with a colleague, but determined to fight back, and uncover the true source of corruption within her unit. To redeem herself, the reputation of her lover, and to keep her witnesses safe. Even if they don't always deserve it.
Navigating the morally-grey, clandestine world of witness protection, Liz's mission to find the truth will take her deep into the heart of the criminal underbelly and beyond as she becomes more and more torn between caring for her family, her loyalty to her lover and her duty as a police officer.
Black Doves
Helen Webb, politician's wife, doting mother, and professional spy, has been passing on her husband's secrets to the Black Doves, the shadowy organization for whom she works. But when her lover Jason is assassinated, Helen's life is turned upside down, and only her old friend Sam Young can keep her safe. But Sam, a suave, champagne-drinking assassin, also has problems of his own. Out of the game, since his last job went wrong, he soon realizes his past is coming back to haunt him. Together, they set off on a mission that will lead them to uncover a vast, interconnected conspiracy. One that links the murky underworld of London to a looming geopolitical crisis — and leads them to question the cost of the moral choices they've made.
Reacher
Reacher follows Jack Reacher, a veteran military police investigator who has just recently entered civilian life. Reacher is a drifter, carrying no phone and the barest of essentials as he travels the country and explores the nation he once served. When Reacher arrives in the small town of Margrave, Georgia, he finds a community grappling with its first homicide in 20 years. The cops immediately arrest him and eyewitnesses claim to place Reacher at the scene of the crime. While he works to prove his innocence, a deep-seated conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will require Reacher's keen mind and hard-hitting fists to deal with. One thing above all is for sure: They picked the wrong guy to take the fall.

Sabrina Sohal is a star rookie police officer who must grapple with the limits of the justice system as she fights to exonerate her politician father Ajeet Sohal.
