Best in the Business

Best in the Business (2011)

EndedReality show

Ben Bailey hosts Best in the Business -- the ultimate battle of job-skill supremacy that celebrates the crème de la crème of the American workforce. These two half-hour episodes will showcase average American jobs: Blacksmith vs. blacksmith. Excavator operator vs. excavator operator. Grocery bagger vs. grocery bagger -- turning the spotlight on the not-so-average people who take their profession to the next level. Blacksmiths who can create a usable corkscrew in mere seconds. Oyster shuckers who shuck so fast the cameras barely catch it. Excavator operators who are so precise they can carry an egg on a spoon over mounds of dirt. Many are good. Only one is the best.

Amandaland

Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.

Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).

With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.

Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.

After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
