Making the Grade

After turning in a term paper for her Economics class at college which she hopes will improve her grade, Jan decides to date her professor, since it's already the end of the semester, but this causes concern for Lois and the girls when they fear that something wrong will happen.  After the first date, Jan decides to not to date the professor anymore, since she found him to be boring.  She reluctantly accepts a second date with him against the advice of both Lois and Cassie (Lois tells Jan that she must be truthful about breaking up with him, while Cassie insists that Jan should "lie to him").  When that date goes wrong and the professor places some pressure on Jan to make their already rocky relationship more intimate, Jan goes to the college dean for help (with Lois in tow for moral support), but the dean can't do anything about Jan's predicament since, as she puts it, her "hands are tied."  Frustrated at the situation that she's in, Jan decides to handle the problem herself and confronts the professor by telling him that if he doesn't stop trying to get her to sleep with him or flunk her from class if she doesn't, she will go to the authorities and charge him with sexual harassment.  Days later, Jan receives the news that her term paper got a passing grade.

EastEnders

Set in the East End of London, the show focuses on the tensions between love and family with stories ranging from hard-hitting social issues, to personal, human tragedies. And there's plenty of funny moments too. 

Classic characters old and new across thousands of episodes have shared a drink in The Queen Vic, shed tears of despair or joy, sat on Arthur's bench in the Square... and at some point or other they probably crossed paths with Ian Beale.

Bookish

London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.

Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.

Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.

Bergerac

Bergerac is based on the original series created by Robert Banks Stewart, which starred John Nettles and ran for nine series on the BBC between 1981 and 1991. The modern re-imagining will honour the iconic detective drama, but with a contemporary twist. Unlike the original hit from the 80s, the new series will see one character-led murder mystery run across all six episodes, in place of a new storyline each episode. 

Viewers will meet Jim Bergerac as a broken man, grappling with grief and alcoholism following his wife's recent death. His mother-in-law, Charlie, is concerned Jim isn't putting his daughter Kim first and, when a woman from a wealthy Jersey family is murdered, Jim must fight through his personal struggles to become the formidable investigator he once was.

With a troublesome convict resurfacing from his past, Bergerac is required to call on his sharp investigative instincts and past successes to navigate the intricate family dynamics, and watchful eyes of the police force, in order to solve the case.
