Episode 4
It's carnival time in Bridgwater - one of the largest illuminated processions in Europe. The Lime Kiln Carnival Club have created a spectacular cart featuring over 10,000 light bulbs. But can they avoid disappointment and do better than last year's disaster when they broke down before they'd even got halfway around the route? If they can, it will be a night to remember with sights and sounds to dazzle visitors and potential glory for the winner of the coveted best cart prize.
We meet the stallholders of Frome's independent market as cake bakers do battle with ice cream makers and cider sellers at this destination event in one of Somerset's most popular towns - known for having more listed buildings than any other town in the county.
We visit one of Somerset's most beautiful seaside hamlets for the Porlock Weir Sea Festival. This stunning and historic port was once famous for its oysters and now oyster farmer Ian is trying to revive the tradition - but will his new restaurant venture pay off?
We head to the historic city of Wells to discover the secrets of the bell-ringing swans that live on the moat of the Bishop's Palace and meet the "swan whisperer" who trains them to perform this unique and unlikely ritual. In the shadow of the cathedral we find out what it's like to live on one of Britain's most picturesque and photographed streets: the medieval Vicar's Close. And a group of nature-lovers sets off in search of one of Exmoor's most stunning annual spectacles: the red deer rutting season, when stags face off against one another to prove their dominance. But will they be able to track down Britain's largest wild land mammals?

Worst Cooks in America
Chef Anne Burrell is back for a seventh season of trying to turn some of America's worst cooks into kitchen stars. This time, however, the recruits are seven celebrities who can showcase their talents on TV and in movies, but not no so much in the kitchen. Burrell competes against Worst Cooks in America newcomer Rachael Ray to see which chef can lead one contestant to make the most impressive culinary transformation. Actors Dean Cain, Ellen Cleghorne, Jaleel White and Barry Williams join reality stars Jenni "JWoww" Farley, Chris Soules and Kendra Wilkinson in boot camp. The winning star gets $50,000 for charity and bragging rights for his or her mentor. Not all of the celebrities will make the cut, however; after an opening potluck dinner each mentor selects three recruits to be on her team, leaving one celebrity to be sent home before the competition really begins. Burrell is looking to extend her record to 5-2, while Ray looks to get the win in her first season.
Married at First Sight
Married at First Sight is an extreme social experiment that follows six brave singles yearning for a life-long partnership as they agree to a provocative proposal: getting legally married to a complete stranger the moment they first meet. Four specialists – sexologist, Dr. Logan Levkoff; psychologist, Dr. Joseph Cilona; sociologist, Dr. Pepper Schwartz; and spiritual advisor, Greg Epstein – create what they believe are three perfect couples, based on scientific matchmaking. The couples will not meet until they walk down the aisle and see each other face-to-face, for the first time, at the altar. Over the course of several weeks, episodes capture each couple's journey as they go from wedding, to honeymoon, to early nesting, to the daily struggle of working on their marriage. After several weeks together, each couple must make a decision: do they remain together or decide to divorce?
