Two teams, the Red Tomatoes and the Green Peppers, are pushed to their culinary limits. The teams are made up of a member of the public and a famous chef. They must work closely to produce a mouth-watering meal with only a few ingredients and a limited budget, in just 20 minutes. There’s still room though for a dash of humour and a spoonful of friendly banter. In no time at all, the meals are ready for the audiences inspection, and their verdict on the winning dish.

Set in the majestic Canadian Rockies and starring Tim Roth and Christina Hendricks, Tin Star tells the story of Jim Worth, a former British detective now small town police chief, who brings his family to the tiny, tranquil town of Little Big Bear for a better life.
When a vast industrial facility opens nearby and their new home is flooded with workers looking for drugs, gambling and prostitution, Jim has to work hard to protect his family and the town from organised crime.
Then crime strikes back. And when Jim’s family suffers a shocking tragedy, old, dark and dangerous secrets surface. We discover that Jim is not the man we think he is but is in fact ‘Jack’ – the professional name for his alcoholic alter-ego: an undercover cop with a violent past and a long list of enemies; a man more unpredictable, more charismatic and infinitely more menacing than Jim.
Part drama, part thriller and part dark comedy, Tin Star is an exhilaratingly smart, breathlessly suspenseful thrill-ride of a show as deceit, guilt, love, and all-consuming rage lead inexorably to a gut-wrenching finale.
Conspiracy theory turned terrifyingly real is the subject of this ground-breaking, channel-defining drama series written by Dennis Kelly, the co-creator of the Olivier Award-winning Matilda, and directed by Marc Munden (Black Sails). When an unconnected group of people find themselves in possession of the manuscript for a legendary graphic novel, Utopia, their lives are set to change forever as they are forced to run from a shadowy and murderous organisation known as The Network. All they know is that The Network is all-pervasive; in government, in business and in charge, and will stop at nothing to get to Utopia.
Season 2 picks up four months after the destruction of the Utopia manuscript. Believing the Network to be finished, Becky, Ian and Grant each try to get back to some semblance of normality. But far from being over, the Network is only just beginning. Production of the vaccine, which will unknowingly sterilise the human race, is now in full swing and, with Jessica Hyde as their prisoner, The Network finally possess Janus, the secret within the vaccine.
Dark secrets from the past begin to resurface into the present and the group is now faced with the explosive revelation that Janus is something far more terrifying than they could ever have imagined. As the Network’s destructive plans are finally set into motion, our heroes are catapulted into a deadly race against time in order to prevent a disaster of truly global proportions. The holiday is over. It’s time to run. It’s time to find Jessica Hyde. It’s time to find Utopia.
The Wall is a wildly unpredictable, fast and simple game show with huge cash sums on the line. Two players must work together to tackle the mammoth four-story-high wall. Emotions run high as the pair’s faith in one another is tested by unpredictable outcomes and ever-rising stakes. The rules are simple. If the players answer a trivia question correctly the ball turns green as it falls randomly down the wall towards slots of varying cash amounts. These amounts are then added to the player’s prize pot. However, answer a question incorrectly and the ball turns red and will deduct the amount from the player’s totals from the slot it lands in. In the first round the players both answer the questions while in the second round they are split with one entering an isolation booth and one controlling The Wall based on if they think their partner has answered right or wrong. In the final round, the isolated player must choose between signing a contract for a set amount of money or taking a bet to see if their partner has been lucky with The Wall. Filled with a roller coaster of emotions, heart stopping moments and big wins and big losses, what The Wall gives, The Wall can take away.
