title: Cameroon and Ethiopia

overview:
In Cameroon he discovers a rampant appetite for bushmeat that is causing ecological catastrophe, with great apes facing local extinction. He nearly causes a riot when he tries to film a bushmeat chef buying porcupine.

Travelling to the forest, Stefan eats civet cat with hunters who are living in extreme poverty and rely on bushmeat. He also visits a sanctuary which is looking after 57 chimpanzees, who have been orphaned by hunters.

Taking the train back to the capital, Yaounde, Stefan accompanies forest rangers searching for and confiscating smuggled bushmeat.

While the rich diaspora has returned for a spectacular party, the rural poor struggle to grow food on exhausted soil.

Seven million Ethiopians depend on aid to survive. Travelling with a World Food Programme aid convoy, he meets women trapped by their dependency on short-term aid.

Stefan shares a meal of fresh goat's blood with pastoralists suffering from years of tribal conflict, crippling droughts and the pressures of a rapidly expanding population.

And in the capital, Addis Ababa, Stefan nearly causes another riot by trying to film with homeless children, and meets slum-dwellers who suffer from unemployment and crippling food inflation.

He has to conclude that Ethiopia's problems have not been solved - in fact, they are getting worse.

title: Cameroon and Ethiopia

title: Haiti and Mexico

overview:
In Haiti Stefan visits the notoriously violent slums of Cite Soleil with Brazilian UN soldiers.

He tries mud cakes made of pure clay, which are eaten for their high mineral content, and helps out with UN food handouts.

Later on, he is invited to a voodoo ceremony, a practise which is widespread in Haiti.

He then travels to the once-successful rice-growing region to discover what happened when the US persuaded Haiti to remove rice import taxes.

The price of rice plummeted and local production collapsed, causing widespread poverty. Many local women now have to walk for hours up mountains carrying 25kg sacks of food aid.

He also visits the luxury resort of Labadie which is out of bounds to everyone except wealthy cruise ship passengers. But despite the inequality, the income from tourism could be one of the few ways for Haiti to develop economically.

Mexico

In Mexico, Stefan discovers that free trade with the US means Mexico is importing corn and exporting people. Vast numbers of Mexicans are leaving the countryside where agriculture has collapsed and jumping the US border.

He visits an illegal immigration theme park where people pay to experience what it is like to try to break into the United States.

Stefan travels to Mexico City, where there have been riots over rising food prices, and in the rural south he visits a village where 45 people have died during conflict over farmland.

He also meets Zapatista rebels who want greater rights for Mexico's indigenous communities. They are blaming the US for the Free Trade Agreement that has spelt disaster for 1.5 million farmers who cannot compete with subsidised US food.

Finally, in Tijuana Stefan meets former farmers about to jump the border and are angry that US trade has forced them off the land, but then refuses to give them work permits.

title: Haiti and Mexico

title: Israel and the West Bank

overview:
In Israel and the occupied West Bank, the conflict is rooted in land and expressed in food - or the lack of it.

Stefan gets his first taste of tear gas when a protest against Israel's security barrier turns violent. The Israelis say it is essential to keep suicide bombers out, but it cuts some villagers off from a large proportion of their land, and it has been declared illegal in a ruling by the International Court of Justice.

As the protesters storm the barrier, Israeli soldiers fire tear gas and rubber bullets at them.

In the isolated, ultra-orthodox Jewish settlement of Itamar in the West Bank, 15 residents have been killed by armed Palestinians. Many are members of Gush Emunim, a settler movement which argues that there is a religious imperative for Jewish people to settle the West Bank.

In the adjacent village of Yanoun, whose Arab residents are unable to harvest their olives after violence and armed intimidation from settlers.

After visiting both villages, Stefan travels to the West Bank city of Nablus and stays with a baker who explains how the Israelis control the food supply, and often there simply is not any flour to bake an Arab staple: flatbread. In Israel, Stefan meets the victims of a Nablus suicide bomber at a falafel stall.

In the Negev desert, Bedouin tribesmen are being forced off land they have lived on for centuries. They barely survive raising goats and camels, one of which Stefan tries to milk.

Finally, he meets up with the aid workers trying to get food into Gaza where a violent power struggle is unfolding.

The Israelis have closed the border, causing extreme hardship: the fighting is making the food situation for Palestinians more desperate than ever, and Stefan finally retreats when a rocket flies above his head.

title: The Hot Desk

overview:
The Hot Desk is a British music interview show hosted by Nicole Appleton, Melanie Blatt, Dave Berry, Emma Willis and Jayne Sharp. The show is produced for ITV by UMTV.

The Hot Desk first appeared on ITV Mobile in November 2007 and represented ITV Mobile's first made-for-mobile commission. It has recently been extended and, from 2008, is shown on ITV2. It moved into its fifth series in 2012.

The show was launched with Blatt and Appleton interviewing Liam Gallagher. Filmed on London's Hampstead Heath, Gallagher was less than complimentary about Peter Andre in his usual inimitable style.

Since the show's early 'edgy feel' mix of new bands and no-holds-barred style approach, the show has become less focused on new talent and more celebrity-led.

At the end of each interview, the celebrity featured is asked to sign the "Hot Desk" with a marker pen. This is reminiscent of TFI Friday, the TV show hosted by Chris Evans which ran from 1996 to 2000. When Evans finished his interviews, he would also ask the celebrity to sign the desk with a marker pen. This format provides the producer with great access to the biggest music stars and A-list celebrities.

One format question asked to every guest is 'call, text or reject' where the guest is given three people related to their lives, one they call, one they have to text and the other they must reject.

Other characters are represented using animations and claymations - many have two mothers or two fathers. The live-action format of Dottie's Magic Pockets is similar to other live-action shows, such as Yo Gabba Gabba, Sesame Street and Pee Wee's Playhouse.

The DVD was followed up by a 55-minute CD titled The Super, Secret Seashell Cave. The CD is a sing-along adventure featuring Dottie, James Uncanny, Motilda and Randal, with 16 original songs composed by Allyson Newman. It was released in December 2009.

title: Jackpot Bowling

Season 1

title: Episode 1

overview:
Jackpot Bowling was a professional bowling show on NBC from January 9, 1959 to June 24, 1960 and again from September 19, 1960 to March 13, 1961.

Jackpot Bowling was the first national TV bowling show since Bowling Headliners aired in the early days of television. Jackpot Bowling aired on Fridays at 10:45 PM following the Cavalcade of Sports Friday Night Fight.

Leo Durocher was the show's first host, but bowed out after only two shows and was replaced by Mel Allen. Allen's lack of bowling knowledge made him an unpopular host, however. On April 10, 1959 Bud Palmer became the show's third host.

Allen returned in October 1959 and remained with the show until April 1960, after which Palmer returned and hosted through June.

The show was put on a brief hiatus after the June 24, 1960 episode, as its Cavalcade of Sports lead-in had ended its run on NBC. When it returned on September 19, 1960, a retooled version hit the airwaves; the series not only moved to Monday nights at 10:30, but Bayuk Cigars replaced Phillies Cigars as sponsor, the Hollywood Legion Lanes replaced Wayne, New Jersey's T-Bowl as the show's venue, and Milton Berle took over as host with Chick Hearn providing play-by-play. The show now ran 30 minutes, and the professional bowler challenges were supplemented with segments of celebrities being interviewed by Berle and then rolling a shot for charity.

title: Pepsi Power Hour

overview:
The Pepsi Power Hour was a live one-hour program that aired on the MuchMusic television channel in Canada from 1986 to 1991. It ran once weekly every Thursday, until 1989 when a Tuesday hour was added. The show was dedicated to hard rock and heavy metal music videos, and showcased a variety of well and lesser known artists. It balanced coverage of major international acts, with newer bands, and a variety of Canadian acts both major label and independent. For example, members of Canadian bands such as Brighton Rock, Helix, and Triumph were invited to co-host the show. On other installments, independent artists such as Mif from Slash Puppet were brought in for live, in-studio interview segments. International artists also often co-hosted, such as Iron Maiden, Rob Halford, and Motorhead.

The format of the program varied, but in general it was hosted live by one of MuchMusic's VJ's. The VJ would play new and old metal videos, taped interviews, play requests, and go over recent metal news. Fans were encouraged to write in requests every week, and the most creative of which were often shown. The show offered contests, for prizes such as meeting or interviewing bands, or for rare merchandise. Frequently, episodes would feature live interviews with artists in or outside the MuchMusic studio. Occasionally, artists would also perform songs live in the studio. A notable example was Rik Emmett, who co-hosted an episode and played the then-new Triumph single "Let the Light" acoustically before jamming with his co-writer Sil Simone in a guitar battle. Emmett was later brought back to co-host a special episode entitle The Axemen Cometh, which showcased popular guitar soloists of the time.

overview:
Chaos at the Chateau was a television program that ran from March to May 2007 on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. The show follows the lives of Ann and David Darrell, originally from Essex, who decided to renovate an old chateau in Slovakia and turn it into a luxury boutique hotel. As well as looking at the problems the couple faced in finding, renovating and running the hotel, it also deals with their relationship.

Chaos at the Chateau is a prime-time continuation of the series A Place in Slovakia, which followed the couple's attempts to find a suitable chateau. The show has been described as a "real life Fawlty Towers", with incompetent hoteliers – a vulgar bossy wife and tetchy henpecked husband – aided and abetted in their comedy escapades by clueless staff.

Controversy surrounded David Darrell when it was revealed, following the transmission of the programme, that he was being pursued for £950,000 for alleged fraudulent practices that occurred during his time as an Insolvency Practitioner. He was removed from the Register of Insolvency Practitioners in 2003 because of concerns regarding work that he had invoiced for, but allegedly not carried out.

In March 2008, the Darrells put their Slovak chateau on the market for €3,000,000.

title: With Anthony & Matthew

overview:
Wanna Come In? is an MTV reality television show. It is a modern reality twist on the legendary play Cyrano de Bergerac. In the show, a two man team that consists of a "stud" and a "dud" compete with another "stud"/"dud" duo to try to win cash prizes. The "stud" secretly coaches the "dud" by speaking through a hidden microphone while the "dud" is on a blind date with a beautiful young woman. Each team goes through several challenges in an effort to get the "geek" invited inside the woman's home at the end of the date. If she does not invite her "dud" inside, the team loses.

Wanna Come In? was on the air for three seasons on MTV. It was a half hour show that aired daily in the afternoons. The challenges usually had the "geeks" doing zany things that would make it almost impossible for the date to end well. If the "geeks" ask to come in at the end of the date or reveal that he is being coached, the "geek/stud" duo are disqualified.
