Adventurer Ben Fogle is back, this time he’s staying closer to home with a series of short-haul trips around the UK and Europe.
Ben Fogle meets author Mark Boyle in Co Galway on Ireland’s west coast. Mark has turned his back on both money and technology, experimenting with living using only what he can source from the land. His frugal lifestyle involves collecting water, winter foraging, fishing, sheep-wrangling and writing by candle-light. Ben admires his convictions but looks rather concerned when his host confiscates his phone! Reality, presence and connection are central to this episode edited by Dave Richards .
If you are missing travel as much as we are then you may want to catch Big Weekends with Gregg Wallace.
In this series the MasterChef presenter visits some of Europe’s best cities to explore history, culture and local cuisines. Roy Williams edited the Venice episode. Des Ivegbuna edited the Edinburgh and the Munich Episodes.
Wallace said: “Two of my great loves are food and travel, so to visit some of my favourite cities and explore new ones for this Channel 5 series is just brilliant.”
Lets get some inspiration for when it’s safe to travel!
Interior Design Masters is back for a second series, this time hosted by the wonderful Alan Carr. Ten talented new designers are all looking for their big break in the fast-paced world of commercial interior design. They will be competing to win a contract with one of the UK’s top boutique hotels. Design expert and former editor of Elle Decoration Michelle Ogundehin returns as the series judge.
Each week, the designers will be set a new commercial design challenge, to take on the interiors of show homes, offices, hotels, shops, beach huts, salons, restaurants and luxury holiday villas. Michelle is joined each week by a different guest expert, on hand to offer their advice and appraisal. The series includes appearances by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Linda Boronkay, and Matthew Williamson.
Editor Sam Frost is enjoying working on the series. She said that it’s been great. “It was bit of a crazy schedule to start, but I think that was partly due to adjusting to working from home. DSP execs Donna and Claire are both lovely – and it’s been brilliant having Alan Carr as the presenter on this one – had me in tears quite a few times (laughing obviously!) I can’t really say anything negative – fantastic transformations, funny contributors especially Siobhan – and I’m sure it will do really well.”
Darren has been busy cutting episodes 6 & 8 of this documentary series which goes behind the scenes at Hull Royal Infirmary to show the night-time challenges facing NHS staff working in the A&E department. He said it has been a great series to work on and to definitely tune in for episode 8 as lots of action!
Mondays 9pm Channel 5 or catch up on Thursdays at 12.05am
Shut-In’s: Britain’s Fattest People is back for a third series which consists of 2 x 1hr documentaries following Amy – also known as AJ who is only 23 years old but already weighs 41 stone with a BMI of over 90.
Amy can barely walk, is in constant pain and rarely leaves the house. When she does take a trip out, she is only too aware of the looks she attracts and also has to endure some vicious taunts. Nick Follows edited part 2 of this series which shows the story of her treatment journey as she attempts to lose a third of her bodyweight.
Nick worked from home on the project for 13 weeks, remoting into Splice. He said it was all straight forward, Spice are all sorted technically, “it’s much like editing in a facility, except the coffee is better!”
Part One will be on Channel 4, 10pm Monday 18th January.
Writer and comedian Sara Pascoe is learning how to do the world’s most endangered jobs, from ice-carving in Finland to climbing trees to making sweets in Cuba.
In last night’s episode Sara travelled to Satu’s beloved Finland where she looks at the impact the changing climate is having on the future of the country’s traditional jobs. In the south, Sara explored the timber trade by meeting a forest cleaner and a baker. In the north, where temperatures are increasing the most, Sara looks at Lapland’s tourism industry by learning some unique jobs including ice carving and being an elf in Santa’s village. We’re thinking about branching out with Satusfaction, perhaps representing elves as well as editors!
Connor edited the Finland and Cuba episodes and he said that “Working on this series was great fun, not least because the Finland edit was happening just as the world shut down to travel. It’s nice to work on something that takes you around the world when you’re stuck at home! The SP, Mus, and I work well together so it didn’t seem different to be doing it remotely”.
In case you missed it, The Finland episode will be repeated Tuesday 19th Jan, 11.30pm or all three episodes of the series are available on Iplayer.
Edited by one of the finest scouse editors in the land- Andrew Watters, this prime time spin on ITV’s smash-hit quiz show The Chase, challenging contestants to take on two, three, four or all five Chasers at once. Hosted by Bradley Walsh, with a live studio audience, a nail-biting 5-part series, starring all five of the nation’s favourite quiz geniuses: Mark ‘The Beast’ Labbett, Anne ‘The Governess’ Hegerty, Paul ‘The Sinnerman’ Sinha, Jenny ‘The Vixen’ Ryan and Shaun ‘The Dark Destroyer’ Wallace. With the Chasers forming the greatest quiz team on the planet, it remained to be seen – could anyone Beat The Chasers? We reckon the Faction Ladies could do it!
Check out the last episode tomorrow at 9pm or catch up on this week’s episodes on ITV Hub.

From heartfelt moments or declarations of love, to awkward silences and difficult dating conversations, viewers will be able to follow all the antics and find out if the sparks fly or quickly fizzle out”. (ITV)
Exec, Ben Stevens, when interviewed by Broadcast magazine about his ‘tips of the trade’ advises “Get your editors booked first”… We couldn’t agree more Ben!

We are thrilled to see that adventurer Ben Fogle is back! This time he’s staying closer to home with a series of short-haul trips around the UK and Europe.
Ben lives with different people who inhabit some of the most remote locations in the world. He lives among those who’ve chosen to turn their backs on a life dominated by debts and daily grind and go in search of something different.
Dave Richards loved working on this series and we look forward to watching the episode he edited which was shot in Ireland where Ben Fogle visits Mark Boyle.
We could all do with a bit of escapism at the moment, so it’s great to see Bradders back for more daring adventures and sightseeing with his son Barney. The new series follows Bradley and Barney travelling across Europe and as always, Barney will be pushing his dad to the limits with more thrill-seeking activities like ski-jumping, paragliding and even a bungee jump!
Editor Dan Knight said ‘It’s always a fun job to cut having done all 3 series, with a great team. Playing big stunts against daft comedy with a great soundtrack’.
