Education Make Me a Paramedic
Paramedic science degree courses were introduced in the UK in 1998 and the training has developed over the last two decades. In Make Me a Paramedic we follow two students striving to achieve their dreams of becoming fully trained paramedics. As well as looking at their time on
campus, a core part of the degree is going out on placement shifts with the North West Ambulance Service.
Hina is a 24-year-old first year student from Darwen, who started to dream about becoming a paramedic whilst working as a carer. Originally from Pakistan, Hina left education behind at 18 to support her family. Now it's time to focus on her own career and she's eager to grab the opportunity with both hands.
Sarah is a mature third year student from Warrington retraining after a career in hospitality. As a single parent, she juggles childcare with the rigours of full time study and twelve hour shifts on the ambulance. With just ten placement shifts left with the ambulance service, she's nearly completed the degree and is facing up to the reality of becoming fully responsible for patients at some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

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.
