But weddings don't come cheap and, with a six-month-old baby, they have other priorities.
 
So, to speed things up, they are given 12,000 pounds towards their big day. But there is a catch.  They have both agreed in the presence of a lawyer that Luke will organise the wedding alone.
They will have no contact and Gemma won't know a single thing about her wedding until the big day three weeks later.

Three weeks apart will push their relationship to the limit. Will Luke score an own goal, will he prove himself to be man or mouse, or will he trip up before he even gets to the altar? Can this man give this woman a day she will never forget?

A team of DJs take on a team of boffins in a series of mental and physical challenges.

New game show in which a team of four DJs take on a team of four young boffins in a series of mental and physical games and challenges designed to test who is really smart.

Matt Edmondson presents a provocative and funny studio game show, which uses unusual tasks and surprising games to challenge the way we look at intelligence.
 
In each show a team of academically brilliant young people, the 'Clevers' take on a team who some might think are a little bit 'Stupid'. The two teams face quirky challenges that test all different areas of their intelligence, rather than simply measuring IQ and conventional intelligence. With the help of psychologists, the games have been designed to level the playing field between the two teams, making it a fair fight.

Using games based on psychological research the show tests the teams' creativity, their emotional intelligence, their physical dexterity and practical skills.

The winner is decided in a dramatic final round called The Ultimate Mind Game that uses state of the art equipment to test the contestants' brainpower and focus.

A team of four disc jockeys go up against a musical prodigy, a mathematical genius, a quiz mistress and a quantum physicist, with the DJs out to prove they are not just late night layabouts with a permanent hangover.

Among the games - the teams have to get creative and invent a children's story on the spot; use their practical skills to change a tyre; show physical dexterity when they make an ice cream sundae while wearing goggles that turn the world upside down; and use emotional intelligence when interviewing naked gardeners.

BBC Three - Stacey Dooley, Investigates, Child Labour: Kids for Sale

Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts star Stacey Dooley explores the issue of child labour in Nepal.

Stacey Dooley explores the issue of child labour in Nepal, after being exposed to it when working in the Indian fashion industry for the series Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts.

Stacey Dooley, from the BBC Three series Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts, returns with a two-part series exploring the issue of child labour in Nepal and the Ivory Coast. 

In 2007, fashion fanatic Stacey Dooley's life took an unexpected turn when she travelled to India for Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts to live and work alongside the people in the Indian fashion industry making clothes for the UK high street. In the cramped backstreet workshops of the Mumbai slums she came face to face with child labour and what she saw there changed her life. 

Stacey realises that this is a global issue and embarks on two separate journeys taking her into the heart of the child labour issue. She begins her journey in Nepal where tens of thousands of children, many under 10, are forced to leave their families to work in factories or within a form of domestic slavery. Stacey's mission is to try and find out how and why this can happen and if it's possible for her to make a difference. 

In Kathmandu it is estimated that thousands of children work for wages. As the government clamps down on child labour in India more children are crossing the border to work in Nepal's embroidery and carpet factories. Stacey discovers children working in terrible conditions and for very little pay. She befriends a young boy who is beaten by his factory manager and helps him escape to the safety of a children's hostel. 

Stacey meets children who have been sold into domestic slavery by their families, including a girl in her teens who was rescued three years ago and is now being looked after and educated in a hostel. With the aid of a charity Stacey joins her as she tries to save her 13-year-old sister from the same situation.
