Episode 1
Your weekly gadget fix is back – and we've got another band of families in need of technology assistance. Step up Ortis Deley are Georgie Barrat, who will be helping them test the latest tech at Gadget HQ, our high-spec hub that has all the spaces to put the kit through its paces. Jon Bentley will also be lending his expertise each week, partnering with a variety of experts from around the nation, all with the aim of finding the best value gadget on offer – pitting premium kit against a budget rival. And Harry Wallop returns to give us tips on how we can all save money during the current cost of living crisis alongside sustainability-expert Bianca Foley who's been scrutinising so-called green tech to see how it performs. In this episode, Ortis and Georgie help our family find out if you need to shell out for a top performing toaster to help make busy breakfasts, a breeze while road testing an innovative iron which claims to de-crease your clothes without being tied to the ironing board for hours on end. Elsewhere, Jon's answering a very important question – is the iPhone 14 worth the investment? And in a new strand we ask the Great British public if they think a massaging device which costs less than a tenner is a bargain.

The Ministry of Time
The Ministry of Time, a newly established government department, is gathering ‘expats' from across history in an experiment to test the viability of time-travel. Commander Graham Gore (an officer on Sir John Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition) is one such figure rescued from certain death – alongside an army captain from the fields of the Somme, a plague victim from the 1600s, a widow from revolutionary France, and a soldier from the seventeenth century.
The expats are placed with 21st century liaisons, known as 'bridges', in unlikely flatshares. Gore has to learn about contemporary life from scratch: from air travel to industrial warfare, from feminism to Spotify, from cinema to indoor plumbing; and he must negotiate cohabiting with the ambitious modern woman who works as his bridge. After an awkward beginning, the pair start to find pleasure and comfort in each other's company, developing a relationship that is simultaneously tender, intense and profoundly unprofessional; and the expats, adrift in a new era, form friendships that ground and support them in the lonely 21st century, where they have outlived everyone they ever knew and loved.
When a deeper conspiracy at the Ministry begins to reveal itself, the bridge must reckon with what she does next. Will she save or sacrifice the exiled misfits she has come to care for so deeply?
