Celebratory Food
Tom Kerridge, famed for cooking food that has won him two Michelin stars in his own pub, shows how to cook dishes inspired by food you would order in a decent British pub to celebrate a special occasion. These dishes are slightly showy, decadent and indulgent, yet still really simple to make.
There is an elegant starter of asparagus served with Tom's ultimate salad dressing made with duck egg yolks for extra richness. For a fancy alternative to your usual roast dinner, Tom shows how to cook the perfect slow roast duck with delicious aromatic crispy skin. Served up with his potato pancakes and braised lettuce, this makes a real show-stopping meal.
Tom heads to Whitstable, famous for its oysters, and teams up with Stephen Harris who serves exceptional food at his famed pub The Sportsman. Together they collect seaweed from the local beach and Tom whips up a seaweed mayonnaise which he uses as a dip for some deep-fried oyster fritters - a great celebratory starter or appetiser.
If you are looking to impress with a romantic meal for two, Tom's spiced monkfish with smoked aubergine puree is one that is sure to get you in the good books. And for a boozy but refreshing dessert, Tom's gin and tonic granita is a great way to finish off a celebratory meal. To find the right gin Tom embarks on a tasting session at London's Ginstitute where he is more than happy to taste their vast array of flavours and learn more about his favourite spirit.

Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
