- Hard-Wire: Law Of The GunD1
Hard-Wire: Law Of The GunAmerican police chiefs have been to Scotland to learn new techniques in how to avoid shooting violent suspects. As numerous fatal police confrontations cause public anger across the US, officers are rethinking when, and how, they use force.

Alan Partridge's Scissored IsleOne-off, spoof documentary in which Steve Coogan's perennially over-reaching broadcaster heads to the nebulous `north' to see how the other half live. Seeking to make amends for a controversial on-air gaffe, in which Alan apparently managed to offend anyone who considers themselves a `northerner', Norwich's finest sets out to immerse himself in the lives of the very people he slighted, as he investigates what he refers to as the `schasm' between the UK's haves and the have-nots, perhaps even transforming himself into a sought-after TV star in the process. - Louie Spence: Taxi DriverD5
Louie Spence: Taxi DriverMockumentary "Colourful television personality Louie Spence has been taken on as a cab driver for Harlow-based Metro Cars for a week's trial. In his new Sky 1 show Louie Spence: Taxi Driver, Louie can be seen driving around the town at the wheel of a mini cab. According to the show, the reason for the sudden change of career is that five years after his appearance in Pineapple Dance Studios he has found bookings have dried up, leaving him in need of another source of employment. To prepare for the show, Louie completed a genuine mini cab driving test and got himself a private operator's license before being offered a job at Metro Cars. The show features Louie picking up and dropping off customers, sometimes following them on to their jobs, nights out or events – including football training at Harlow Town FC, taking part in an amateur wrestling tournament and performing at a retirement home. A spokesman for the show, which was filmed in February, said: "Add in to this the potential for the odd celebrity passenger, a tempestuous and often flirtatious relationship with a radio dispatch operator and the day-to-day shenanigans of a real-life cab office and you've got a recipe for a joyous and fun mix of real-world actuality and Louie's traditional breakout happening." - Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to MatisseD9
