Episode 3
In the third and final episode of the series, the team is based at Bristol University's Langford Vet Hospital.
Alice Rhodes discovers that one in five cats in the UK lives in a state of long-term anxiety because they share a house with another cat- and cats would rather live alone. Alice runs a unique experiment to test different stress-busting methods in three multi-cat households. Which will work best: separate food bowls, cat toys or stress-reducing scent diffusers?
Judy Puddifoot investigates the warning signs dogs give out before becoming aggressive. They follow a fairly predictable pattern but often go unnoticed by people. Judy reveals the signals to look for - and how they escalate if you ignore them.
Steve Leonard looks into the latest research that suggests feeding your cat only fish-based pet foods over the long term could lead to health problems.

Married at First Sight
Married at First Sight, the extreme social experiment where four couples will meet for the very first time on their wedding day. Three top relationship experts are controlling this radical experiment involving eight Aussie singles, using a mix of neuroscience and psychology to try to create four perfect matches.

These four extremely brave and hopeful couples will face the most terrifying wedding imaginable – tying the knot with someone they have never laid eyes on.
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.
Poppa's House
