Episode 1

Cameras return to capture the reality of life in Britain's biggest special school as staff and pupils push boundaries and challenge misconceptions. There are plenty of laughs and a few tears at a school where every child's achievement is celebrated.

It's the first day back after the summer holidays in Ysgol y Deri, a school that caters for a wide and diverse range of differently able pupils in Penarth, just outside Cardiff. Headteacher Chris Britten recalls the strain of staying open during the pandemic and looks forward to the school getting its mojo back.

It's also the first field trip of the year for some of the young pupils, and the excitement is palpable. Kai cannot wait to tuck into his huge packed lunch on the beach at Barry Island, but he'll have to wait until the adventurers have conquered Cardiff Castle. As the pupils challenge their fears, so does newly qualified teacher Josh, who's taking a few highly anxious pupils out for the very first time.

Back at school, a sixth former who finds it hard to control his emotions and temper has had an outburst and escaped class. Staff have to act quickly to try to control the situation.

Out in the yard, 13-year-old Grace is having her favourite lesson of the week with assistive technology teacher Lisa Rees-Renshaw. Grace is currently a manual wheelchair user, but with a piece of new technology, Lisa hopes to teach Grace to drive her own electronic chair and perhaps enjoy a little bit of tennis at the same time.

Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service

Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant. This insider will not only remain a secret to the staff, but will also help Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before. By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people. Are the restaurant and staff willing to accept Gordon's mission, or are they too far gone to be saved?
