Episodes
Quark
Cmdr. Adam Quark's United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol saves the world.
May the Source Be with You
When the dreaded Gorgons declare a star war in the galaxy, Commander Adam Quark is sent to blow up their doomsday vehicle with the help of the mysterious, almost all-knowing "source." The High Gorgon is displeased when Quark's ship penetrates his incredibly huge planet-sized ship. He stops worrying when he senses Quark has the "source" at his side, because the "source" is as correct as a broken clock.
The Old and the Beautiful
Assigned to save the galaxy by having an extended romantic interlude with the incredibly sensuous Princess Carna, Commander Adam Quark catches a space virus and suddenly ages to 80 years old just before the big rendezvous.
The Good, the Bad and the Ficus
Trapped in a black hole in space, Quark and his crew are split into their good and evil counterparts, except for the plant Ficus -- because plants don't have good and evil counterparts. When the Good Quark suggests a meeting to reconcile their differences, the Evil Quark agrees to a fight to the death. The Good Quark's reaction: "Fight to the death? I just wanted to meet with him..."
Goodbye, Polumbus
On a planet where dreams come true just by thinking about them, Adam Quark conjures up his dream girl while chief engineer Gene/Jean thinks up his comic strip idol, Zoltar the Magnificent, along with Zoltar's arch-enemies, the Krelex warriors. Pursued by the warriors and madly in love with his dream girl, Quark must decide whether or not it's worth it to remain in paradise.
All the Emperor's Quasi-Norms (1)
Emperor Zorgon captures Quark and his crew and demands to know where "it" is. Quark would be glad to tell him -- if he only knew what "it" is. Quark hopes to be saved from certain death when Zorgon's daughter, Libido, falls in love with the logical, unemotional plant, Ficus, and tries to pollinate with him.
All the Emperor's Quasi-Norms (2)
All seems to be going well until Quark leads Zorgon right to "it" and makes him one of the most powerful men in the galaxy.
Vanessa 38-24-36
Vanessa is the new computer installed on Quark's ship that is designed to eliminate the need for a human commander. Quark is upset over Vanessa's omnipotence, not to mention the fact he might soon be unemployed. Vanessa doesn't help matters when she gases the crew and closes the door on Quark's air hose while he's out for a space walk.

Late Night with Seth Meyers
Seth Meyers, who is Saturday Night Live's longest serving anchor on the show's wildly popular "Weekend Update," takes over as host of NBC's Late Night — home to A-list celebrity guests, memorable comedy and the best in musical talent.
As the Emmy Award-winning head writer for "SNL," Meyers has established a reputation for sharp wit and perfectly timed comedy, and has gained fame for his spot-on jokes and satire. Meyers takes his departure from "SNL" to his new post at "Late Night," as Jimmy Fallon moves to The Tonight Show.
Saturday Night Live
Saturday Night Live is an Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase.
Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. As The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999, "in defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.
The Repair Shop
The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.
Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.
The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
In Flight
Jo Conran is a single mum working as a flight attendant. Her son is serving a fifteen-year sentence in a Bulgarian prison for a murder he swears he did not commit. Jo is approached by a gang who know all about her son and is blackmailed into using her job to smuggle drugs. She soon finds herself pulled into a murky underworld of corrupt cops and hired killers, forced to carry out their orders with no escape in sight. However, no matter how far Jo finds herself from her old life, her mission remains the same, to keep her son alive.
EastEnders
Set in the East End of London, the show focuses on the tensions between love and family with stories ranging from hard-hitting social issues, to personal, human tragedies. And there's plenty of funny moments too.
Classic characters old and new across thousands of episodes have shared a drink in The Queen Vic, shed tears of despair or joy, sat on Arthur's bench in the Square... and at some point or other they probably crossed paths with Ian Beale.
