The Pack O' Cards, Combe Martin

This week, Alex visits The Pack O' Cards, an inn with rooms in Combe Martin on the north Devon coast owned and run by husband-andwife team Chris and Debbie. This quirky Grade II-listed monument to lady luck was created in 1690 after local member of the gentry George Ley won a game of cards. When the couple bought the inn 26 years ago, with north Devon's reputation as a tourist hotspot, they hoped to make their fortune and quickly move on. But this 17th-century inn turned out to be a money pit and, with minimal winter trade, the couple have been left stuck in a cycle of feast and famine. Now tired and desperate to retire, it's time for Chris and Debbie to lay their cards on the table. Alex discovers their food offering, décor and local reputation need to come up trumps if the business stands any chance of being a profitable proposition. But has Alex met her match in Chris when it comes to interior design? Or will Chris take a gamble on Alex's bold idea? After pouring their heart and soul into The Pack O' Cards, can Alex help Chris and Debbie work towards their dream of retiring?

The Ministry of Time

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?
