When Caravan Holidays Go Horribly Wrong
As more of us seek out affordable holiday options, the popularity of Caravan Holidays is soaring with the industry worth a staggering two billion pounds a year. You get all the comforts of home, along with the freedom to explore whenever and wherever. But sometimes there can be a hitch in your plans as exemplified in this 90-minute special narrated by Helen Lederer.
Highlights include the driver who can't believe her eyes when her holiday flies by for all the wrong reasons: her caravan has become detached from her car and is hurtling past her at breakneck speed on the motorway, with terrifying consequences.
A holiday proves too much to bear as a grizzly makes itself at home in a Canadian caravan park, pilfering the food and giving holidaymakers the fright of their lives. And there's a dark cloud hanging over a holiday in Cornwall as bad weather sets in leaving a family no choice but to wade through a knee-deep torrent of rain to get to their static. Before long, they call time on the break, which is a washout.
Other stories, re-lived by holidaymakers who really should have been given a wider berth, include a mouse invasion in a caravan that resembles something from a disaster movie, a Vegas driver who takes the gamble of his life getting into an underground carpark and the proud owners of a new caravan, whose dream soon ends in a nightmare as the shiny new vehicle is dramatically rear-ended on the way home from the showroom. The damage is so bad, the holiday home is deemed by insurers to be a write-off.
Contributors include racing driver Paul O'Neill, adventurer and presenter Rob Bell and journalist and broadcaster Kylie Pentelow.

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?
