Britain's biggest family is about to get even bigger as 21 Kids and Counting follows the chaotic and fascinating lives of Britain's largest family in the lead-up to the birth of their 10th baby girl. And for every baby that parents Sue and Noel welcome to the family, another one is preparing to fly the nest. The cameras return to the family home in Lancashire, as the teenage Radfords grapple with big life decisions, such as moving out of the home, learning to drive, choosing a career, and how to get any privacy in a house that's packed to the rafters with kids. As the family prepares for the next arrival, Sue and Noel decide to head off on a super-sized package holiday to Benidorm, with 20 kids in tow. With Sue and Noel spending quality time with the kids in the sun, 21 Kids and Counting offers a warm-hearted look at parenting, family, growing up, and growing up surrounded by 10 times more brothers and sisters than the average British household.

Former elite Special Forces soldier Jason Fox embarks on a highly personal journey back to Afghanistan, nearly a decade after he last set foot in the country where he endured harrowing combat experiences during multiple tours of duty. Afghanistan both defined Jason as a soldier and made him the man he is today. He spent more than three years fighting in a war that saw some of the fiercest battles in modern British military history. He saw friends killed and seriously injured in combat, and narrowly escaped death multiple times. This left him with a punishing personal legacy: PTSD. Because of this, Jason was discharged from the Special Forces and made to leave behind the life and job he loved. Now he's attempting to understand this complex country and the people he was sent to help. He meets old friends and former enemies, and asks whether the sacrifices were worth the traumatic legacy that he, the Afghan people and many of his fellow soldiers have been left to endure.

Tornadoes, torrential rain, lightning storms, flash floods and a record breaking temperature of 38.7C. We haven’t even reached the end of August yet.
This programme features archive footage, personal stories and striking visuals of Britain’s recent heatwave. We delve into the latest science and ask why this is happening. Is this part of a developing global pattern of record extreme weather, and as a country, can we cope? With 15 of the 16 hottest summers on record occurring since 2001, we look at climate change and its link to severe weather events – exploring how they are likely to hit harder and more often in the years ahead.
The unfolding scene at Whaley Bridge has prompted deeper questions on how prepared we are for these potentially devastating changes to our climate. Can our ageing infrastructure – with damaged dams, melting roads, buckled railways and burst sewers – cope with this ever more brutal onslaught? What effect will this have on our agriculture and the cost of living?
How will we live in our overheated cities? We examine calls from many climatologists to change our lifestyles – now. If we’re going to press pause on Britain’s extreme weather, what practical steps can we take to help stop this climate crisis destroying Britain?

This one-off special follows comedian and host of the award-winning The Last Leg, Adam Hills as he embarks on a personal, physical and emotional journey to live out his boyhood dream to play competitive rugby league.
Take His Legs is the remarkable story of the birth of Physical Disability Rugby League (PDRL) in
the UK, and the rise of the Warrington Wolves PDRL team, from open trial, to World Champions
in just six months.
As a die-hard rugby league fan and the driving force behind establishing the first PDRL team here in the UK, the documentary follows Adam as he and his Warrington Wolves team-mates prepare for the biggest game of their lives. Travelling to the other side of the world, the team play against the South Sydney Rabbitohs at the world famous ANZ Stadium in Australia at the first ever International Club Challenge to prove themselves the best in the world – and even get the chance to meet movie star and Rabbitohs owner Russell Crowe.
This is Adam’s personal journey from celebrity advocate and enthusiast to team-mate and friend to an incredible group of men, achieving something they never thought possible. The documentary also deals with mental health, PTSD, and the true impact of sport and teamwork on the emotional well-being of a team who have now formed a remarkable bond and support network for each other.
