Stump Cross Caverns
This week, The Hotel Inspector Alex Polizzi has a call for help from deep beneath the Yorkshire Dales: the historic visitor attraction Stump Cross Caverns. The limestone cave system has been open to the public since its discovery in 1860. Now the attraction boasts its own cinema, gift shop, cafe and outdoor play area.
Owned, run, and home to former children's nurse Lisa, who is now joined by her fiancé and gift shop manager, Nick. Now after 20 years of giving everything to the cause, this family business is facing an uncertain future, and pushing this attraction into profit seems impossible.
The Hotel Inspector arrives at a packed car park but soon finds the caves hold an eccentric mix of installations and artifacts, and each area of the business, from the shop to the restaurant, needs streamlining and smartening. Calling in some visitor attraction expertise, Alex begins to formulate a plan.
If the family can't find a way to make their visitor attraction pay, the next summer season could be their last. Will The Hotel Inspector manage to help Stump Cross Caverns see the light or will Lisa's dream be buried forever?

Pawn Stars
Long before banks, ATMS and check-cashing services, there were pawn shops. Pawning was the leading form of consumer credit in the United States until the 1950s, and pawn shops are still helping everyday people make ends meet. Pawn Stars takes you inside the colorful world of the pawn business. At the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop on the outskirts of Las Vegas, three generations of the Harrison family - grandfather Richard, son Rick and grandson Corey - jointly run the family business, and there's clashing and camaraderie every step of the way. The three men use their sharp eyes and skills to assess the value of items from the commonplace to the truly historic, including a 16th-century samurai sword, a Super Bowl ring, a Picasso painting and a 17th-century stay of execution. It's up to them to determine what's real and what's fake, as they reveal the often surprising answer to the questions on everyone's mind, "What's the story behind it?" and "What's it worth?"
