Boys of Summer

A visiting pro baseball team is staying at the hotel where Above The Top is situated at and since they are playing in a championship series, the team is dining at Above The Top every night, which causes problems for the waitresses as a few of the ballplayers start hitting on Jan and Cassie.  Meanwhile, Dot befriends the Costa Rican pitcher on the team who's afraid that his village will hate him if he loses the big game the following night. 

Note: Cast changes occur on this, the second and, ultimately, final season of It's A Living on the ABC television network, as Susan Sullivan("Lois Adams"), Wendy Schaal("Vicky Allen"), and Bert Remsem("Chef Mario") were let go from the program in order to revamp the series and help it increase its ratings.  Louise Lasser, of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman(1976-78) fame, joins the cast as Maggie McBurney, the newest waitress at Above The Top, along with long time character actor Earl Boen, who plays Dennis Hubner, the new chef at the restaurant.  Also, the show's name is changed to "Making A Living" in another effort to attract audiences, and, the show is placed on the Saturday night schedule instead of Tuesday nights as it had been since episode No. 12, "Kids," the next-to-last episode of Season 1.  Later on, ABC places the show on their Friday night lineup, beginning with episode No. 10, "The Garden Of Countess Natasha"(February 12, 1982), where it will remain for the rest of the 1981-82 television season.

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.
