Episode 2
Dr Xand van Tulleken and dietician Hala El-Shafie ask ordinary Brits to road test some of the most popular and talked about diets out there, and to then give viewers the lowdown on how the diets worked for them. CafÚ cook Stacie Stewart helps the volunteers to turn their diets into delicious dishes. This time, Daria and Emma have seven days to slim down for a birthday bash; bridesmaids Emma and Elisa go on six week dieting plans for a forthcoming wedding; and entrepreneurs Dom and Adam want to slim down for a corporate summer party in four months. To find out how fasting affects body and mind, Xand goes on an extreme 'water-only' fast, and investigates if so called 'zero calorie' and 'negative calorie' foods really exist.

The Ministry of Time
The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.
The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.
When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
