Fighting for Families' Futures

Mureo Kasahara, Transplant Surgeon For children whose lives are threatened by serious liver illnesses, there is one final hope. It's a living-donor liver transplant, in which part of a liver donated by a parent or another close relative is transplanted into a child. 51-year-old transplant surgeon Mureo Kasahara performs more of these operations per year than any other surgeon in the world, and the 10-year survival rate for his patients is more than 90%. Kasahara thoroughly studied ways to cut small, thin sections of liver tissue, and developed a groundbreaking surgical method for difficult cases involving children weighing 5 kilograms or less. His life-saving technique has drawn international attention. Kasahara views living-donor liver transplants as "the gift of life", and says they embody the parents' deep desire to help their child. He braces himself for difficult surgeries, and exhausts every possibility as he fights for the futures of children and their families. Just doing something isn't enough. As Kasahara says, "You have to follow through, no matter what".

Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service

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?
