Episode 1
Gavin Andrews takes the Laughlins, an Ulster-Scots family, on a personal historical journey back in time to discover what life was like for their ancestors at the turn of the 19th century. Abandoning their comfortable 21st-century lives, mum Kerry, dad Ainsley and daughters Sophie, Anya and Hope find out what it is like to run a small farm with no electricity and a kitchen made up of a table and an open fire. While they struggle with pigs, laundry and fire pots, grandfather Alan begins a genealogical detective trail which eventually leads to a celebrated historical figure.
Episode 2
With the help of presenter Gavin Andrews, the Laughlin family discover what life was like for their Ulster-Scots ancestors living as poor farm labourers at the beginning of the 19th century. This week, they attempt to spend the night with a goat in a traditional one-room byre dwelling. While dad Ainsley digs the ground for potatoes, Hope and Anya experience the discipline of a Victorian national school. As grandfather Alan continues to research the family's genealogy, he discovers the harsh realities of the poverty experienced by his great, great relatives, some of whose names he finds in workhouse registers.
Episode 3
The Laughlins final step back into their family history begins in 1718, and presenter Gavin Andrews reveals a direct link to a famous ancestor known in America as the Moses of the Ulster-Scots. Three hundred years ago their ancestor led an Ulster-Scots community to America. It was one of the earliest and most celebrated mass emigrations in modern times and the Laughlins are completely unaware of the central role played by one of their family. Gavin takes grandfather Alan and his son Ainsley on an American road trip to find out what life was like for the early Ulster-Scots settlers, before visiting the community that their ancestor founded. While they do that, the rest of the family look into the early life of their ancestor. The programme culminates in a surprise party where the Laughlins get to meet an American branch of the family.

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?
