Martyn Ashton, a biking legend turned motivator who suffered a crash which left him paralysed, will be visiting projects around the UK to bring inspiration back to the community project. Juliet Sargeant is a Chelsea Flower Show gold medal winner.
And in The Secret Life of the Hospital Bed (w/t) BBC One will follow four different beds in four NHS hospitals across the UK featuring the different patients occupying them and their very different journeys.
On weekday afternoons Rick Edwards will host new quiz !mpossible, where a regular cast of 30 diverse players fight for a £10,000 prize where, as well as right and wrong, there are also !mpossible answers, which couldn’t possibly be right!
Also in the afternoon, in Hairy Bikers’ Winter Warmers Si King and Dave Myers will take a look at the recipes and stories behind some of the seasonal dishes that have bonded the Nation over the years, including some of the best loved international dishes that warm up our winters.
In My Farm’s Big Day Out (w/t) BBC One will follow two hard working, inspirational family-run farms as they prepare for one of the biggest events in their farming calendar. Their aim is to win recognition and boost their business so they can ensure their legacy continues.

Mornings
Good Food For Good People (w/t)
5 x 45’ BBC One
BBC Commissioning Editor Carla-Maria Lawson. A co-production between Raw Cut TV, Executive Producer Steve Warr and Wiretap, Executive Producer Tom Randall
In this five-part series stripped across one week Good Food For Good People will highlight the huge amount of food waste in the UK, and two charities who believe they have a unique business model that offers a real solution to the problem - Oxford Food Bank and The Felix Project.
Robin Aitken and David Cairns founded the Oxford Food Bank in 2009. The organisation takes the fresh food that supermarkets can’t sell and delivers it to charities. The recipient charities then run cookery classes, make community meals, use the ingredients for dishes in their cafes or put together food parcels for people in need. Now Robin and David, along with two new partners, have set up The Felix Project, which is applying the model to London. The programme will spend time with the trustees, employees, volunteers, food suppliers and beneficiaries of both charities.
People Power (w/t)
5 x 45’ BBC One
BBC Commissioning Editor Carla-Maria Lawson, Hungry Gap Executive Producer Pete Lawrence
Dave Myers of the Hairy Bikers, Juliet Sargeant, Martyn Ashton and Nicki Chapman are on a mission to show that all of us have something we can do, however small that can make a huge difference to the lives of others. In a bid to build a sense of community and shared responsibility for those around us in need, the team will be calling upon volunteers to put their skills, imagination and elbow grease to use to put something back into the communities in which we live.
Over the course of the week they will be highlighting some incredible volunteering projects around the UK, whilst also calling on some well-known faces to help them bring a lasting and impactful transformation to one community in need.
Martyn Ashton, a biking legend turned motivator who suffered a crash that left him paralysed, will be visiting projects around the UK to bring inspiration from these initiatives back to the programme’s community project.
The Secret Life of The Hospital Bed (w/t)
15 x 45’ BBC One
BBC Commissioning Editor Adrian Padmore, Crackit Productions Executive Producers Elaine Hackett and Kerry Brierley
In The Secret Life of the Hospital Bed BBC One will follow four different beds in four NHS hospitals across the UK featuring the different patients occupying them and their very different journeys.
Across the each episode, fixed-rig cameras will tell the story of patients who enter four different hospitals across the country. The circumstances, the ailment, the treatment, the length of stay - everything is personal to the individual involved. But the one constant throughout is the bed.
With over 130,000 of them currently working in the NHS, in every ward from A&E and Oncology, and Transplants to Maternity, hospital beds witness the most important moments in our lives.
Filmed over five weeks, the series will feature busy hospital units such as A&E, Surgical Day Surgery, Pediatrics and Maternity.
Afternoons
!mpossible
15 x45’, BBC One
BBC Commissioning Editor Jo Street, Mighty Productions Executive Producers Hugh Rycroft and Lynn Sutcliffe
Rick Edwards will host BBC One’s super-sized new quiz !mpossible. Rick will welcome a regular cast of 30 diverse players to the quiz with the third dimension – because as well as right answers and wrong answers, there are also !mpossible responses – they are not just wrong, they couldn’t possibly be right. A single !mpossible answer knocks a player out of today’s show; they will have another chance tomorrow. But the player who gives the most right answers will have a shot at the £10,000 jackpot prize. They face one final question to trigger a cascade of 10,000 pound coins from the iconic exclamation mark that forms the centrepiece of the show.
My Farm’s Big Day Out (w/t)
15 x 45’ BBC One
BBC Commissioning Editor Carla-Maria Lawson, Sidney Street TV Series Producer Wendy Woolfson Executive Producer Karen Ross
The fifteen-part series is a unique format that celebrates the range of exceptional and inspirational family-run farms across the UK.
There are approximately 100,000 family farms in the UK producing everything from fruit, wine, cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry to arable crops, seafood, fish, eggs, dairy goods and vegetables. Other farms offer accommodation, cafes, restaurants, tourist attractions and shops. In an age when many farms have been forced to diversify to stay afloat, standing out from the crowd is key: it means the difference between an endless struggle to make ends meet and being a flourishing business with a gold star reputation.
In each episode, two inspirational family-run farms prepare for the biggest event in their respective fields - from cheese and dairy shows, to farm shop and deli expos; from food festivals and award ceremonies to a visit from the Michelin guide; from a sheep-shearing competition to livestock shows: it’s a chance for the two farms to showcase what they do and how well they do it.
The Hairy Bikers’ Winter Warmers
15 x 45’, BBC One, BBC Commissioning Editor Carla-Maria Lawson, Hungry Gap Executive Producer Pete Lawrence
The Hairy Bikers will be sharing their favourite home cooked winter warmers. Dishes that are easy to make and comforting to eat in the coldest of months. They’ll also take a look at some of the best loved international dishes that warm up our winters.
They’ll be looking at the stories behind some of the dishes that have bonded us over generations, meeting some of Britain’s best home cooks and finding out what the professionals like to cook when they’re off duty.
