Life on the Bay
Life on the bay continues for the hundreds who have made this Fife caravan park their second home and for the staff who make sure everything runs smoothly. In this episode, a new caravan is installed on the site with the help of a huge crane, but the steep hillside and gusting winds prove a challenge. Meanwhile, a long-standing member of staff prepares to say farewell, but not before he has tried out the biggest rides at the Burntisland Fair. And the bay’s newest recruit is welcomed to the business.

Interior Design Masters with Alan Carr
Just four designers remain to fight it out for a place in the semi-finals. Arriving at Michelle’s studio, they are split into teams of two and given their next challenge - the redesign of two cafes in the seaside town of Margate. The finished venues need to attract both daytime and evening crowds, so the key to the task is delivering multifunctional spaces, with each team member taking ownership for their own zones. Before heading to Kent, the teams get a steer from their new clients via a Zoom meeting. One team learns that they must channel a cool Caribbean vibe, with their cafe also doubling up as an evening venue that hosts gigs and DJs. The other team has a seafront cafe, whose owners are looking for a design that avoids seaside cliché but has a welcoming vibe that matches their ambition to provide reasonably priced food for the whole community. Two different businesses, but for the designers the same goal - to take a step closer to winning the biggest commercial contract of their lives. Assisting Michelle this week is guest judge Ross Bailey. CEO of AppearHere, he has an in-depth knowledge of what makes small hospitality businesses sink or swim.

Bill Douglas: My Best Friend
The story of the extraordinary friendship between Scottish film-maker Bill Douglas and his lifelong companion and collaborator Peter Jewell. Bill Douglas was Scotland’s finest director. In his short career, he made four films: autobiographical trilogy My Childhood, My Ain Folk and My Way Home about his appalling childhood, and Comrades, an epic about a momentous moment in English history. Bill is celebrated by other great film-makers such as Lynne Ramsay, Lenny Abrahamson, Satajit Ray and Yuliya Solntseva. Bill's life was transformed when he was on national service in the Egyptian desert and met Peter Jewell, the man who would become his lifelong friend. The two men had very different backgrounds, but they formed a unique bond that channelled a tremendous creative energy. In this film, Peter reminisces about the life he shared with Bill in their tiny Soho flat filled with cinema memorabilia. Their love of the movies leads them to start experimenting with an 8mm camera. Peter’s memories and musings about the legacy Bill left behind are illustrated with these never-before-seen short films.
