New Series

Mr Burton has stepped up and he’s now in charge of Thornhill, in his first role as Head Teacher. But, his wit and sparkle remain just the same. Supported by a new team of heroic staff, he has a lot on his plate. The school is on the up but, like all schools in Britain, there are challenges at every turn.

Gogglebox

Returning Series

From the Saturday night juggernauts and the week’s big soaps, to documentaries and gritty drama, the Gogglebox households offer witty, insightful, feisty and sometimes emotional critiques of the week’s popular and topical TV shows. Their reviews could also be interrupted by breaking news stories and controversial TV events – subjects the outspoken households certainly won’t be shying away from.

With friends, families and flatmates across the UK watching an average of four hours and two minutes of TV every day, Gogglebox will show the best of the nation's telly-loving households to capture their time spent in front of the box and find out what Britain really thinks.

The Dog House

Series Continues

The series will follow the 60 strong team who work to counter the worst of our throw-away society, and witness stories of canine rescue and restoral. Their ultimate goal is to find each dog a forever home and a new human to love - but finding the right person for each dog takes experience, insight into human behaviour and a bit of luck.

Using fixed rig cameras, Five Mile Films will follow the dogs, from the moment they arrive at Wood Green, through to the matches, and all being well – into their new homes. And track their human saviours every step of the way along their parallel journey.

Transmission details will be announced in due course.
