The Dog

Don’ t Tell the Bride

House

Finding the perfect partner

Welcome to a special place for those looking to find love. At The Dog House, abandoned dogs get the chance to find a new home with a‘ forever family’. This heartwarming format gives a fascinating insight into the work of a rehoming team whose ultimate goal is to find each dog a new human to love- but making the right match takes experience and a bit of luck. Using fixed-rig cameras, we follow the emotional journey of each dog, from the moment they arrive at the shelter, through to their first date with a nervous family in a special meeting pen and, all being well, into their new homes. It’ s not only the dogs who need rescuing! Those looking to adopt often have heart-wrenching reasons for wanting a canine pal, and we see how lives can be changed by the perfect match.

Will it be the best day of their lives – or the worst?

This may be the age of equality of the sexes, but there is one area of life where the ladies will always take the lead – their wedding. Each episode follows a couple through the entire process of organising a wedding, but the twist is that the bride has absolutely no involvement. For better or for worse, she has agreed to hand over all control of the wedding to the groom. She has no idea where she’ s getting married, who is turning up or even what she is wearing until the big day itself. The couple are separated for the month leading up to the big day, and the groom has to pull off the whole thing in secret. Will the relationship survive the strain? Will the groom succeed in pulling together the perfect wedding? And is his idea of perfection anywhere near hers?
