Barcelona
Gregg heads to Barcelona, uncovering the city's artistic side in the incredible architecture of Antoni Gaudi, most famous for the Sagrada Familia, a large unfinished Roman Catholic minor basilica. The MasterChef presenter learns about the city's other artistic sons, while doing a self-portrait in the style of Pablo Picasso. He also visits the street festival in the Gracia neighbourhood, which culminates in the breathtaking castellers, or `human towers", and samples the array of back-street tapas restaurants.
Rome
Greg starts in Rome, which boasts inexpensive cuisine and an unrivalled history that stretches back thousands of years. After checking out some its best sights on the back of a scooter and going inside the famous Trevi Fountain, Gregg heads to a restaurant popular with the locals to discover how, in the Eternal City, the best food is often the cheapest. He also learns the secrets of the Italian ice-cream, gelato, and tries some classic Roman breakfast sweet treats. He even gets the chance to train as a gladiator.
Edinburgh
The MasterChef judge visits Scotland's capital, where he heads up the Royal Mile to one of the most documented castles in the world, goes underground to see the centuries-old streets that still remain and learns about the tradition of bagpipe playing. He also learns about Scotland's rich larder with one of its finest chefs Tom Kitchin, helping cook up a feast of grouse and langoustines. Gregg finishes his brief jaunt by joining some locals for an early-morning dip in the North Sea.
York
The host enjoys a three-day trip in York. While it's a small city, York packs in almost 2,000 years of history and has been at the centre of some of the most important events in British history. Heading to the famous Gothic York Minster, climbing the city walls and taking a tour that focuses on the life of Guy Fawkes, Gregg uncovers a history that introduces him to Romans, Vikings, and medieval and Tudor kings. He also meets one of Yorkshire's best chefs, who cooks a menu filled with one of Gregg's favourite ingredients - rhubarb.
Venice
The presenter heads to Italy and reveals it is possible to enjoy Venice without breaking the bank. By avoiding the tourist traps he sees a new side to the city. Over three days, Gregg explores one of Italy's most distinct food cultures, explores the city's fascinating and surprising history, and meets the locals who make Venice so special.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
Resident Alien
Resident Alien is a dark, twisted and comedic fish-out-of-water story that follows a crash-landed alien named Harry who, after taking on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor, slowly begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his secret mission on Earth — ultimately asking the question, "Are human beings worth saving?"
Cops
COPS follows police officers, constables, and sheriff's deputies during patrols and various police activities by embedding camera crews with their units. The show's formula adheres to a classic cinéma vérité ethos. With no narration or scripted dialog, it depends entirely on the commentary of the officers and on the actions of the people with whom they come into contact.
Saint-Pierre
After Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny "Fitz" Fitzpatrick digs too deeply into a local politician's nefarious activity, he is exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon (the French Territory nestled in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Newfoundland). Fitz's arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Geneviève "Arch" Archambault, a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons.
As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tend to wash up on its beautiful shores. At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together... a veritable crime-fighting force.
