Money and Me A Home without Bills?
Having hung up his boots for good, ex pro-footballer Scott Golbourne (Bristol City, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Barnsley, Exeter City) was looking for a new challenge. For the past few years, he's been running a property development company with his best mate and business partner Cameron Wright, a former teacher. They now own 20 properties in Birmingham with a particular focus on the social housing end of the market.
Scott and Cameron have both seen people close to them suffer in poor housing, and as the cost of living gets ever worse, they're determined to find ways to help their tenants by keeping the bills down on their properties. To do this, they want to learn as much as they can about carbon-efficient properties so that they can apply their new-found knowledge to a set of properties they've recently acquired in Gravelly Hill, Birmingham.
First, they visit architect John Christophers at his home, ‘The Zero Carbon House', in Balsall Heath, Birmingham – it's the UK's first zero carbon retrofitted home. John and his wife Jo moved into the house, originally a Victorian terrace, 14 years ago. In that time, they've paid no energy bills at all by making the house 95% energy efficient.
Scott and Cameron also visit a new social housing project in Edgbaston, Birmingham. ‘Project 80', as it's known, is a new estate of flats built by housing provider Midland Heart. They've designed the flats to meet the new housing standards for efficiency, which will affect all new builds from 2025.
Scott and Cameron then head to the Forest of Dean to meet Nancy, a resident currently having her home retrofitted by the estate managers. Will the changes to her property help her to keep the costs down as winter kicks in, and will Scott and Cameron pick up enough tips to be able to use on their projects?

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.
Unforgotten
Unforgotten focuses on ‘cold' murder cases. Each series deals with a new case, introducing seemingly unconnected characters who are gradually revealed to have some relationship with the victim.

The Handmaid's Tale
The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred is a Handmaid in the Commander's household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.
