Obsessive Compulsive Country House Cleaners - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Forcett Hall, North Yorkshire
The British Isles is world famous for its spectacular stately homes. Brimming with centuries of history, they are legacies of a bygone era. But behind some of the grandest front doors lie years of neglect and decades of dust. Obsessive Compulsive Country House Cleaners finds out what happens when ancestral ways of living encounter obsessive compulsive cleaners. The owners, proud custodians of their family heritage, are struggling to maintain their homes without the help of the domestic staff who have long since departed. Swamped by the sheer scale of the problem, they struggle to part with everything from family heirlooms to broken junk.
Tarbert House, Ireland
This time the cleaners tackle Tarbert House, a Georgian manor on the banks of the River Shannon in the west of Ireland. Home to the Leslie family for 300 years, the current custodian is 83-year-old Ursula. While the main rooms on the ground floor retain their original splendour, the upper two floors - where Charlotte Bronte, Lord Kitchener and Winston Churchill once stayed - are little more than a dumping ground, with landings piled high with family clutter, hidden treasures and a derelict children's dormitory crammed with mattresses, toys and even a box of moss. Glen from Watford and Caren from Manchester stay with Ursula to help separate the treasures from the trash, in a bid to transform the upper floors for a grand heritage evening.

When Calls the Heart
When Calls the Heart is inspired by Janette Oke's bestselling book series about the Canadian West, the series tells the captivating story of Elizabeth Thatcher, a young teacher accustomed to her high society life, who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal mining town where life is simple, but often fraught with challenges. Upon arrival, Elizabeth befriends Abigail Stanton, a wife and mother whose husband, the foreman of the mine, along with a dozen other miners, has just been killed in an explosion. The newly widowed women find their faith is tested when they must go to work in the mines to keep a roof over their heads. Set against the wild canvas of a 19th century coal town, Elizabeth will have to learn the ways of the frontier if she wishes to thrive in the rural west on her own.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
