Escape to the Farm with Kate Humble - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Episode 1
In the first episode, all is looking rosy for Sausage the Welsh pig, who is hours away from giving birth. After successfully delivering 27 piglets, this should be a breeze, but it soon becomes apparent that Sausage's life - and the life of her unborn litter - are in danger, and Kate gets hands-on to rescue her animal and the little ones.
Episode 2
Kate and Tim gather the sheep for shearing in the summer, but find the price they can charge for the wool that they harvest is falling fast. Kate also visits a nearby honey farm, where she helps the owner to safely remove a nest of bees from a family's home, and takes her dogs for a walk on the edge of the Black Mountains.
Episode 3
The cows are ready to give birth, but one struggles to deliver after having been stepped on by a weighty heifer. Kate pays a visit to a butcher to learn how to humanely kill pigs and carefully prepare the meat so nothing goes to waste. Back in the farmhouse, she whips up a simple pasta dish.
Episode 4
Kate and Tim bring in the hay in preparation for the winter ahead - a task that can make or break a farm's fortunes. Kate also pays a visit to the dairy farm to learn how her favourite cheese is made, and takes a stroll down the River Usk, which leads to encounters with sand martins, mute swans and kingfishers.

The Twelve
Twelve citizens are called for jury duty on a high-profile murder trial as traumatizing as it is controversial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her sister's child.
As time goes by, the murder trial becomes a trial, not only for the accused, but for the jury members themselves.
Behind the façade of their anonymity, these twelve ordinary people bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma and prejudice.
Atomic
Atomic is a dynamic and entertaining action-fuelled adventure. When Max and Mohammed, two unlikely friends – and even less likely heroes – become swept up in a cartel's plot to transport uranium across North Africa, they face a monumental decision: save themselves or risk everything to prevent a nuclear bombgetting into the wrong hands.
Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
