Comedian David Baddiel, author of the eye-opening book Jews Don’t Count, explores the modern-day rise of anti-semitism in this one-off special documentary. In Baddiel’s opinion, anti-Semitism is often seen as a lesser form of racism.

Baddiel speaks to famous contributors including David Schwimmer, Stephen Fry, Sarah Silverman and Miriam Margolyes, to ask why the progressive left doesn’t appear to see it as a form of discrimination.

Gothic aesthete Tim Burton is the perfect fit for this Addams Family spin-off. Jenna Ortega stars as the titular Wednesday Addams, the spooky family's only daughter and so-called because, as the saying and title of the first episode goes, "Wednesday's child is full of woe."

We follow Wednesday as she is sent to boarding school after being expelled from high school for unleashing piranhas on a swimming pool full of jocks. There she attempts to master her emerging psychic powers and solve the mystery that embroiled her parents.

After three weeks of bushtucker trials and tribulations, the celebrities have probably eaten enough camel penis and had enough cockroaches extracted from their ears to prove themselves to the public.
