Falcon Hotel, Cambridgeshire
This week, Hotel Inspector Alex Polizzi visits the Falcon Hotel in Cambridgeshire. Run by lifelong hotelier Colin and his daughter Jean, the duo took on the lease of this 16th-century coaching inn 11 years ago. But after centuries of guests coming and going, this old bird has seen better days. Despite rock bottom room rates of little over £40 per night, Colin and Jean are still struggling to pull in enough punters. Without enough cash coming in, the business is heading towards a make-or-break moment. The Hotel Inspector's first impressions aren't good. With both the building and the business in dire need of repair, Alex questions if things have just gone too far, and whether her visit is too little, too late! Eagle-eyed Alex looks deeper into the problem and discovers poor figures and tired interiors. But there's a glimmer of hope with a decent food offering. Can Colin and Jean tempt the locals back in with good, honest pub grub? Alex helps them transform the menu and sends Colin pavement pounding to promote the food. In time, the food income could fund a dramatic transformation, but for now Alex shows the duo how to furnish the rooms with basic amenities on a budget. Can the Falcon Hotel's fortunes take a turn for the better or will Colin and Jean have to consider flying the nest?

Highway Thru Hell
Highway Thru Hell focuses on a team of drivers who work for Jamie Davis, along with several other heavy recovery operations fighting to keep the roads open in some of the most dangerous working conditions ever seen on TV. The Coquihalla and nearby highways through BC's Cascade Mountains have some of the most difficult and fast changing road conditions anywhere. When it's snowing hard up top on the summit of ‘The Coq', 1200 metres below its pounding rain in The Fraser Valley. Add to that, Canada's busiest trucking route to the West Coast, Highway 1 (Trans Canada Hwy), and you have the ‘Bermuda Triangle' of trucking. Police and highway maintenance crews depend on Highway Thru Hell's heavy rescue operators to respond at a moment's notice in the worst conditions. In between the winter storms, the teams ‘off road' skills are put to the test. The rugged terrain near Hope, British Columbia dishes out some of the most unique and challenging recovery jobs over steep cliffs, down deep ravines and even in bodies of water. Highway Thru Hell is ultimately a series about man versus Mother Nature and the toughest men in the towing business being pushed to their breaking point. The stakes are high - lives, the economy and thousands of jobs depend on the highways staying open, and the last line of defense is Heavy Rescue.
The Handmaid's Tale
The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred is a Handmaid in the Commander's household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.
Night Court
Night Court centers on the unapologetic optimist judge Abby Stone, daughter of the late Harry Stone, who follows in her father's footsteps as she presides over the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court and tries to bring order to its crew of oddballs and cynics, most notably former night court prosecutor Dan Fielding.
