The Ranganation - Season 2

Season 2
The Isolation Edition
Romesh Ranganathan's topical comedy show returns to BBC Two for a second series. However, in tune with the current climate, this series is a little different. Dubbed the ‘isolation edition', Romesh's new studio will be from home, his man den, also known as his garage.
Romesh will be joined virtually by two special 'isolating' guests and together with the help of his hand-picked focus group, The Ranganation, they will mull over the lighter end of the news spectrum, offering much needed respite from a world upended by a pandemic.
Also in isolation, The Ranganation will be beaming in to Romesh's makeshift studio from the comfort of their own homes. Representing a wide cross section of modern Britain, The Ranganation are 20 loveable, gregarious characters, including Romesh's lovely mum, (who would like all to know she is just fine, isolating alone, not far from Romesh, and cooking up a storm).
Renowned for their funny anecdotes and refreshingly real insights, The Ranganation will undoubtedly shed an illuminating light and shared perspective on life in lockdown.
Using the news as a starting point, past discussions with members of The Ranganation such as ‘Privileged', ‘Small Town Girl', ‘Never Voted' and ‘Wheeler Dealer', have covered such disparate areas as the Tory leadership candidates' domestic appliances, potentially losing a finger for one's phone, the sightings of UFOs in Scotland, and the surprisingly divisive subject of washing one's legs in the shower.
Formany of us there are many uncertainties in life right now, but at least Romesh and his gang will undoubtedly offer a bit of light relief from the world outside.

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.
