The Real Marigold Hotel On Tour - 成人论坛 One

Stars of The Real Marigold Hotel will be heading to four brand new locations in new series for 成人论坛 One, The Real Marigold On Tour. Produced by Twofour, it will see celebrities from all three series unite to experience retirement in four colourful destinations across the globe.

Miriam Margolyes, Stanley Johnson, Sheila Ferguson and Bobby George experience the breath-taking and baffling country of Russia. From their St Petersburg base, the group will discover the perfect ways to spend their time, from motorcycling to unique health treatments to a blind date, as well as discovering more about the culture and political stance of this huge nation.

Paul Nicholas, Rosemary Shrager and Ian and Janette Tough (aka the Krankies), head to Mexico, with its warm climate, colourful architecture and rich culture. The lively group waste no time in experiencing local past times such as wrestling, and kayaking whilst experiencing everyday life in Guadalajara and Ajijic.

Stephanie Beacham, Rosemary Shrager, Wayne Sleep and Syd Little head to Vietnam, a country with a fast growing aging population. The group spend their time in Hanoi, where they mix with the locals in Hoam Kiem Lake and the red river, join cycling and art clubs and scale a mountain - and the trip wouldn’t be complete without a stay on the night train.

Wayne Sleep, Paul Nicholas, Sheila Ferguson and Jan Leeming trial retirement in Argentina. Their time in Buenos Aires wouldn’t be complete without a dash of Tango dancing, a visit to the local university to explore courses for senior citizens, a date, and getting immersed in some local events.

成人论坛 One goes behind the scenes at London’s Corinthia hotel, following staff as they navigate the challenges of running a world-class hotel and attend to demanding clientele. Acclaimed filmmaker Jane Treays (Inside Claridge’s, The Queen’s Green Planet) has been granted exclusive access into the inner workings and daily life of the hotel - against growing competition from five-star hotels in the capital, each one attempting to woo the super-rich in search of the ultimate luxury stay.

As well as interviews with some of the hotels celebrity guests, including actor Cuba Gooding Jr and musician will.i.am, the series will show the work of passionate staff from 54 different nationalities, each of whom strive to ensure the best possible stay for guests who can pay up to three million pounds for their time at the hotel.

This new six-part series for 成人论坛 Two, commissioned from Expectation Factual, will take a crew of undiscovered talent from British catering, under the leadership of distinguished chef Jason Atherton, and transform their careers, turning them into a Kitchen Brigade to take on the best in the world.

‘Brigade de Cuisine’ or Kitchen Brigade is a 100 year-old hierarchical structure that forms the basis of restaurant kitchens throughout the world. Over six episodes, under the guidance of Jason Atherton, this series will test and transform the lives of ten ambitious chefs.

Each week ten chefs will be trained and mentored by Jason as they travel to the heartland of the finest cooking destinations in Europe, where they will have a week to immerse themselves in the local culture and learn the local cooking. As the series progresses from country to country the challenges will get tougher and at the end of each week the Brigade will go head to head with a rival kitchen in a cook-off.

Along the way, the brigade will live and work together as they attempt to demonstrate the necessary skills and techniques to meet Jason's exacting standards in order to keep their place in the face of stiff competition. At any time they can be replaced with a reserve Brigade member at Jason’s discretion. Under the guidance of Jason the brigade will aim to become a tight-knit team capable of competing with the world's best.

The Case of Sally Challen (w/t) - 成人论坛 Two

In a new documentary for 成人论坛 Two, filmmaker Rowan Deacon will explore the inside story of the Sally Challen case, with access to her family and friends in the lead up to her appeal against her conviction of murder for the killing of her husband.

In August 2010 Sally bludgeoned her husband Richard over the head with a hammer before covering his body with a curtain and a note that said “I love you”. At her trial, the prosecution argued that Sally killed him in a fit of jealousy after discovering the latest of his extramarital affairs. She was found unanimously guilty of murder.

Now Sally’s legal team, led by human rights lawyer Harriet Wistrich, will present new evidence to the court showing that she suffered psychological humiliation and abuse from Richard throughout their 31-year marriage. In the first case of its kind, they will argue that this abuse - or 'coercive control' which was only made an offence in 2015 - provoked Sally into the killing. They hope to reduce her sentence to manslaughter and secure her release from prison.

In the lead up to this landmark ruling, this film will draw on extensive interviews with friends, family and professionals from all parts of Sally’s life including her and Richard’s youngest son, David, who has always stood by his mother and is leading the campaign for her release.
