Accra, Ghana

Accra, Ghana
In this episode Nick D heads to Ghana to hear what Holly Smith and Don McGlashan's beautiful ballad 'Bathe In The River' sounds like in the hands of a West African musician. The artist reinterpreting this Kiwi song is a local legend in Ghana - Wanlov The Kubolor. Wanlov's music is part rap, part reggae and all fun. He adapts not only the song, but also the meaning of the song; using it as an opportunity to talk about the state of the rivers in Ghana. While Wanlov puts the finishing touches on 'Bathe In The River', Nick meets a man who some say was the first to rap on a commercial hit: Geydu Blay Ambolley. Nick also meets local music legend Reggie Rockstone, plays some New Zealand music videos on Ghanian national television, and even finds time for some very silly shopping. To conclude the episode, we see what Holly Smith and Don McGlashan think of the Ghanian reworking of their song.

Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant. This insider will not only remain a secret to the staff, but will also help Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before. By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people. Are the restaurant and staff willing to accept Gordon's mission, or are they too far gone to be saved?
