Knives Made with Heart and Soul: Katsumi Sakashita, Knife Sharpener

This is what it means to achieve mastery! A knife sharpener apart from the rest, Katsumi Sakashita (76) breathes life into the knives he handles. Despite a two-year wait, over 200 knives are sent to him each year from chefs nationwide. One of his incredible techniques is an "air passage" that reduces contact with food to the absolute minimum. Although his fingers are gnarled and his teeth have fallen out, Sakashita pours his heart into every knife he works on. For half his life, his job's lowly status was met with insult and contempt, but the words of his mother inspired him to persevere. We cover his many battles, from specialized eel-cutting knives to a one-of-a-kind gift for a chef starting down a new road.

Family Guy

Family Guy follows Peter Griffin the endearingly ignorant dad, and his hilariously offbeat family of middle-class New Englanders in Quahog, RI. Lois is Peter's wife, a stay-at-home mom with no patience for her family's antics. Then there are their kids: 18-year-old Meg is an outcast at school and the Griffin family punching bag; 13-year-old Chris is a socially awkward teen who doesn't have a clue about the opposite sex; and one-year-old Stewie is a diabolically clever baby whose burgeoning sexuality is very much a work in progress. Rounding out the Griffin household is Brian the family dog and a ladies' man who is one step away from AA.

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.
