On the Coast
As summer season gets underway, many of us head to the coast to cool off - but the unpredictability of the cold water combined with strong currents can prove fatal. Keeley investigates what we should do if we get caught in a rip current; Jules finds out why our seagulls are heading into town for an urban free lunch, and - from a top-secret location - Margherita reports on a summer crop that's being grown for pain relief. Paul Martin will be breathing new life into his Victorian smallholding in Wiltshire. His Summer diary starts with his fruit trees.

And in Wiltshire, Paul Martin provides top tips on combating pests on his allotment.
A Taste Of Summer
From a secret location, Margherita is on the trail of an exclusive and rather elusive food that's worth its weight in gold. Jules (pictured) is finding out whether eating ice cream at this time of the year could actually be good for your health. Nearly half the population in the UK has low levels of Vitamin D so Keeley asks could a drop of sunshine be the answer. And rookie smallholder Paul Martin will be providing tips on how to create charcoal for your summer barbeque.

Now, surrounded by rookies twenty years his junior, Nolan must navigate the dangerous, humorous and unpredictable world of a "young" cop, determined to make his second shot at life count.
The Studio
As movies struggle to stay alive and relevant, Matt and his core team of infighting executives battle their own insecurities as they wrangle narcissistic artists and craven corporate overlords in the ever-elusive pursuit of making great films.
