Levelling Up

Bradford was once the richest British city outside London, but after years of deindustrialisation and austerity, it is now one of the country's most deprived areas. While the frontline workers battle with health and social inequalities on the ground, their leaders are campaigning to improve the city's standing.

With access to Bradford's district nurses, police and council workers, we take viewers to the heart of northern England and follows the people dedicated to making their city a better place – from the frontline workers patrolling the streets all the way up to the leaders making strategic decisions in the city hall.

With the loss of the city's industry, many of the its famous mills lie abandoned and wide open for them to become hubs of criminal activity. It falls on the PCSOs to try and keep them safe, and it isn't long before Tom and Wojciech end up in a multimillion-pound cannabis farm which they must destroy by hand to prevent any further activity.

The Next Generation

More than 28% of Bradford's residents are under 18s, a higher proportion than any other city in the UK, leading council chiefs to proudly proclaim it to be Britain's youngest city. But overseeing such a young population also brings challenges - particularly when Bradford's child poverty rate is double the national average and youth services have been cut by 73% in the last decade.

This episode follows the police, fire service, community groups and councillors as they battle to protect Bradford from antisocial behaviour and work with the community to improve relationships.

Healthy at Home

With access to the frontline workers patrolling the streets all the way up to the leaders making strategic decisions in the City Hall, the final episode
of the series focuses on how the NHS is trying to relieve pressure on hospitals by caring for patients in their own homes.

Community matrons Sandra and Julia tend to a patient in pain who has been waiting for a hospital appointment for over two years, after having it postponed during the pandemic. It provides a stark reminder that there are currently six million patients on NHS waiting lists, an increase of 50 per cent since the beginning of 2020.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015. 

Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
