Season 3
Episodes
Lewis and Harris
In the first episode, Charlie travels to the far north-west of Scotland and the dramatic island of Lewis and Harris, where he visits a modern thatched home shaped like a giant letter S. He also sees an eco-barn inspired by a chicken coop; a chapel that's been converted into an artist studio and house; and a once-derelict Highland white house that's been lovingly restored. Finally, Charlie visits a contemporary broch, a variation on the ancient stone watchtowers that dot the landscape of the island.
Sussex
Charlie Luxton heads to one of the birthplaces of the classic British holiday resort: Sussex. The tour starts in Eastbourne and continues to a luxury mansion in Aldwick, close to Bognor Regis. He visits a quirky bohemian cottage in Cuckmere Haven that's off the grid and an upside down house in Shoreham. There's also a striking cafÚ in Littlehampton, the fisherman's huts of Hastings, and a stylish pad in St Leonards, including a circular bed.
Anglesey
Charlie Luxton heads for Anglesey in Wales. Charlie explores the engineering epic that is the Menai Bridge, which connects Anglesey with the Welsh mainland. There is also a smuggler's cottage; a working lighthouse that's also a family home; and a contemporary cliff-side home with awesome views of the mountains of Snowdonia.
North Devon
Charlie Luxton visits a sea captain's mansion, a beachfront tower and a fantastic architectural makeover on the rocky coastline and surf beaches of north Devon
Suffolk
Charlie visits a house in the clouds, a contemporary cottage in Southwold and a fisherman's cottage on stilts in Walberswick
West England
Charlie Luxton visits the north west of England. His tour begins with Liverpool's impressive waterfront, before heading across the River Mersey to the Wirral peninsula, where he enjoys a sleek and stylish home inspired by mansions in the Hollywood Hills; a renovated Victorian villa; and a 21st century family self-build that's full of gadgets and gizmos. In Southport, he meets an RSPB ranger on the marshlands, and an astonishing kit home overlooking the coastal links of Royal Birkdale golf club.

The Twelve
Twelve citizens are called for jury duty on a high-profile murder trial as traumatizing as it is controversial, in which a woman stands accused of killing her sister's child.
As time goes by, the murder trial becomes a trial, not only for the accused, but for the jury members themselves.
Behind the façade of their anonymity, these twelve ordinary people bring with them their own histories. Lives that are as complex as the trial, full of fractured dreams, shameful secrets, hope, fears, personal trauma and prejudice.
Atomic
Atomic is a dynamic and entertaining action-fuelled adventure. When Max and Mohammed, two unlikely friends – and even less likely heroes – become swept up in a cartel's plot to transport uranium across North Africa, they face a monumental decision: save themselves or risk everything to prevent a nuclear bombgetting into the wrong hands.
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.
