BBC Three - The Autistic Me

Documentary following three people with autism on the road to being accepted as an adult.

Documentary which follows three people - 23-year-old Oli, 15-year-old Thomas and 24-year-old Alex - with autism at pivotal moments on the rocky road to being accepted as an adult.

Most young adults take their freedoms for granted - they can choose their friends, stay out late, learn to drive and decide what they want to do as a career. But for people growing up on the autistic spectrum, life is very different. Stuck in a strange limbo between childhood and adulthood, they are unable to make these choices.

This documentary follows three people with autism at pivotal moments on the rocky road to being accepted as an adult. They are all fighting for independence and responsibility, but being frustrated by the shackles imposed on them by their disability, their families and the preconceived ideas of mainstream society.

23-year-old Oli has high-functioning autism (HFA) and is looking to find work. He is finding it tough as his condition means that he can't communicate or deal with pressure in the same way others can.

Thomas has autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is approaching 16, the legal age of adulthood. As he does so, he is demanding more independence and wants to escape his family. But the freedom he is after is not forthcoming from his parents.

Alex, 24, is looking for love, but when you have the type of autism known as Asperger's syndrome, communicating and socialising can seem an impossible task.

The story of three men with differing types of autism, focusing on pivotal moments on their difficult paths to being accepted as adults.

Finalists Dogan, Dina and Danielle are forced to each manage a flat renovation project.

Pampered teenagers compete in challenges set by their parents. Dogan, Dina and Danielle remain, and they must each manage a flat renovation project. The winner is then announced.

Can parents of spoilt teenagers and twentysomethings reverse the years of over-indulging and mollycoddling?  

Thanks to them their kids have become bone idle, workshy and devoid of life skills. Now these parents have had enough. They want to fast-track their overprotected brats into fully functioning, independent adults using real life challenges in just four weeks.

With the prize of a round-the-world trip on offer, these eight 17- to 25-year-olds give up their home comforts for a house in south-east London where they must fend for themselves for the very first time - cooking, cleaning and, worst of all for them, working. Each episode, the most useless kid is ejected by the people who made them what they are - their parents. 

It is the final week and just Dogan, Dina and Danielle remain, battling it out to become the most adult. They are set their toughest challenge yet when they are forced to each manage a flat renovation project.  

To help the parents ascertain how much genuine progress their little cherubs have made over the previous four weeks, they enlist the help of professional lifecoach Matthew Stone.  

The flats they make over are on behalf of youth charity Kids Company, who offer a one-off opportunity for vulnerable young people to improve their living conditions. They have one day to complete the project, and 1,000 pounds for materials and furniture.  

Dogan throws himself wholeheartedly into the task, whereas Dina struggles to manage her team of ten volunteers. Danielle hands over the reins to her mentor Rene halfway through the day, relinquishing any responsibility for team leadership.

The overall winner is then announced.

The Brennans

BBC Three - Virgin Cooks, The Brennans

Mum Lyn Brennan takes on her teenage son Jimmie in a cookery competition.

Series which pits non-cooking household members against each other in a competition to get them to eat more healthily. Mum Lyn Brennan takes on her teenage son Jimmie.

Britain's kitchens are a disaster zone - we appear clueless when it comes to cookery. Instead of sitting down to a freshly-cooked meal around the dining table Brits are now more likely to sit down to a takeaway in front of the TV.  

One man wants to change this. At just 26, Gordon Jones is head chef at one of the country's leading five star hotels, the Royal Crescent in Bath. Now he wants to get households cooking tasty, healthy and fresh meals, eating together again and reconnecting with each other. And he'll save them a fortune in the process. 
 
Each episode, he picks two virgin cooks from a household and places them in a seven-day head-to-head cookery competition which starts with him slashing their food budget. By the end of the week, the person who has come on the furthest wins the ultimate prize: to cook a three-course menu, of their own design, for 20 to 30 friends and family.   

Enfield in North London is home to the first family of the series - the Brennans. Dad Rob, mum Lyn and their sons Jimmie, 19, and Ricky, 15, are a family of sports-mad Spurs supporters who eat appalling food. Mum waits on everyone and her food mantra is simple - 'give me a tin opener and I'll give you a meal'. The family shells out over 1000 pounds a month on takeaways and ready meals. 

Gordon's challenge is to take Lyn and Jimmie and teach them to cook properly in just seven days, so it's mum v son in the family cooking competition. But after 30 years of producing tasteless bland food, can Gordon undo mum's appalling kitchen habits and can he teach Jimmie to grow up and cook on his own two feet? 

At the end of it, one of them has to cook a three-course dinner party for a group of friends and family at one of the country's premier sporting venues. But who will it be?
