Episodes
The Industry
Chloe is a makeup artist and influencer from Belfast, Casey is from Cheltenham and thinks there's a lack of male representation in the industry, Queenie is from London and rarely wears makeup at all and Resh, from Manchester, now sees makeup as a lifeline following an acid attack on her 21st birthday.
The group travel to Los Angeles where they begin their investigation at Beautycon, one of highlights of the beauty industry calendar, where 30,000 beauty fans and the world's biggest social media influencers, including Bretman Rock, one of YouTube's biggest stars, gather to celebrate all things beauty.
The Price of Beauty
Resh and Casey are in rural Mexico investigating how candelilla wax - a common ingredient in many beauty products - is produced. The plant-based wax is often marketed as a vegan and ethical alternative to beeswax, but they're shocked to see farmers producing the wax by handling sulphuric acid with no safety equipment.
The group visit the headquarters of one of the biggest beauty brands in the world, Benefit Cosmetics, and have the chance to question the founder's daughter, Maggie Ford-Danielson. The group discovers how hard beauty brands work to protect their image, and discover that one of the biggest threats to that image is the millions of counterfeit products being sold all over the world.
The Ingredients
During two weeks investigating America's beauty industry, the group sees the good, the bad and the ugly side of it. They see first-hand how cosmetics are produced and sold and are confronted with the environmental and health effects of the products used. They then have the opportunity to put what they have learnt into practice and make their own products, and they discover the dilemmas faced when trying to create a product that is both ethical and affordable.
Finally, the group travels to New York City to meet esteemed beauty journalist Jane Larkworthy, who reviews the products they have created and gives her frank assessment of the beauty industry. Is it capable of change? And will the group make any changes based on what they have discovered?

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is set in the 32nd century, a time period in the far-future of the Star Trek franchise where Starfleet and the United Federation of Planets are recovering from a cataclysmic event, as depicted in Star Trek: Discovery. It introduces viewers to a young group of cadets who come together to pursue a common dream of hope and optimism. Under the watchful and demanding eyes of their instructors, they discover what it takes to become Starfleet officers as they navigate blossoming friendships, explosive rivalries, first loves and a new enemy that threatens both the Academy and the Federation itself.
Dept. Q
DCI Carl Morck is a brilliant cop but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in Edinburgh police. After a shooting that leaves a young PC dead, and his partner paralysed, he finds himself exiled to the basement and the sole member of Department Q; a newly formed cold case unit. The department is a PR stunt, there to distract the public from the failures of an under-resourced, failing police force that is glad to see the back of him. But more by accident than design, Carl starts to build a gang of waifs and strays who have everything to prove. So, when the stone-cold trail of a prominent civil servant who disappeared several years ago starts to heat up, Carl is back doing what he does best - rattling cages and refusing to take no for an answer.
CIA
CIA centers on two unlikely partners — a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer, and a by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law. When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA's New York Station, they must learn to work together to investigate cases and criminals posing threats on U.S. soil, finding that their differences may actually be their strength.
