               fraud. Dispatches joins raids to close down a meat processor

               accused of trading illegally, and shows how, despite the

               unsuspecting customers, showing how vulnerable we are to

               both legitimate and shifty sales techniques. The first

Title:         Food Prices: The Shocking Truth

Description:   Jimmy Doherty goes on a global journey to find out why food

               prices have been rising. Taking some weekly shop essentials,

               he discovers that the cost of food reflects some of the big

               challenges of the 21st century, from the rise of Asia to the

               power of the financial markets, and from growing population

               to volatile weather. In six years the price of an average

               food basket has gone up by 25%. In the UK we import half of

               our food, which makes us extremely vulnerable to volatile

               prices. In this first episode Jimmy looks at some of the

               main staples in our food basket and the world events that

               have affected their price, including British favourites

               rice, beef and bread; and he examines our shrinking

               chocolate bars

Description:   Reality series in which Alex Polizzi tries to transform some

               of Britain's ailing hotels. The Green Man pub and hotel in

               Wembley is just a stone's throw away from one of the

               country's biggest draws for sports fans, but bad reviews and

               old-fashioned bedrooms are putting off guests and forcing

               the owner to rely on the pub to support the hotel. Can Alex

               tackle the opposition and take this hotel to the next

               league, or is The Green Man ready for relegation?
