Episode 2
This episode reveals that, as well as British spies following Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson's every move as they travelled across the Atlantic, the Americans were also on their trail. When Britain's former King Emperor Edward VIII - uncle of Queen Elizabeth II - and his wife, the American divorcee formerly known as Wallis Simpson, arrived at an exclusive American resort for a holiday, they thought they were enjoying every intimate moment of their trip in complete privacy. This programme can reveal for the first time how they were, in fact, being tailed, their phone tapped and their room bugged.

The restaurants that Guy visits are usually well-known among locals and other people in the region.

The Curse of Oak Island
The Curse of Oak Island documents brothers Rick and Marty Lagina as they pursue their lifelong dream of solving more than a 220-year old Oak Island mystery. For over two centuries, teams of searchers, including Franklin D. Roosevelt, have attempted to crack the code that will unearth the treasure believed to be buried on the small island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Armed with the knowledge of those that came before them, the muscle of heavy machinery and decades of engineering know-how, the Lagina's and their partners may be closer than anyone in history to finding the treasure that has so far claimed the lives of six men.
