Making The Clothes I Wear
Ìý
Six High Street fashion fans embark on an ambitious journey to discover how the clothes they wear are really made. In this compelling new series, the group travels to a developing country to work in clothing factories, live in workers' homes and try to survive on their wages, providing a genuine insight into a side of life most Westerners never encounter.
Ìý
In addition, the fashion lovers are set challenges to see if they can meet the kind of targets that the local workers meet on a daily basis to fulfil the increasing demand for cut-price fashion. From large factories with endless production lines, the group move on to cramped backstreet cabins – where they are paid for each piece they make, and sleep on the floor next to their machines.
Ìý
They also explore rural life and the back-breaking job of picking raw cotton. Making The Clothes I Wear follows the six participants' lives back in the UK, too, and explores their current shopping habits. As events unfold, viewers see if the fashionistas eventually choose to re-evaluate their lives and attitudes towards clothes.

Jack's Story
Ìý
When award-winning reporter Ben Anderson spent two months with a unit of Grenadier Guards in the Helmand Province in southern Afghanistan, he met some extraordinary men. One of them was Lance Corporal Jack Mizon, an unbelievably brave 23-year-old who has seen and experienced more than most men of his age.
Ìý
Over three weeks, Jack lost one of his friends in a roadside-bomb attack, then a suicide bomber hit the convoy he was travelling in, killing another of his friends. After narrowly avoiding being killed in an accidental explosion in a building, Jack was sent to a psychiatrist to make sure he was alright. The only way forward for him, though, was to stop thinking about the incidents and keep going. Back in the UK, Jack is in The Queen's Company of the Grenadier Guards, guarding Buckingham Palace in his red coat and bearskin hat. Ben catches up with him at home where he meets his family and friends, and discovers some of Jack's preferred places and activities.

Filthy Gorgeous

Filthy Gorgeous is the world's first "make-under" show. Each week, a number of over-styled and over-the-top girls and boys are scrubbed down to discover what's underneath – their fabulous natural beauty. The selected candidates are scrutinised by a straight-talking computer that analyses their look and asks the public to comment on their appearance.
Ìý
The computer then strips the participants of their fake hair, mahogany tans and inappropriate clothes and instructs them to make more natural and flattering fashion choices via hi-tech, touch-screen graphics. After a complete beauty reboot, the contributor's new look is revealed and the public comment once more on the make-under transformation.
