　　Dame Penelope Keith visits England's picturesque villages to see how they're holding up in the 21st century. For the most part, she finds them quirky, resilient, and, well, picturesque.

　　On a brisk day in November 1998, a doughy balding Brooklyn computer salesman was supposed to report to prison to begin serving a 17-year sentence. He rented a Ford Taurus. Drove to Queens to turn in the ankle monitor he had been wearing. He took $600 out of an ATM. Headed to JFK airport. And vanished. His name was John Ruffo. The crime he had committed was outlandish. Using forged documents and fake corporate seals, he persuaded banks to loan him $350 million. He invented a nonexistent proposition that he called “Project Star” and he used the money to gamble the millions on the stock market, becoming one of Wall Street’s high-rollers. When the FBI caught wind of his swindle, they set up a sting. At his sentencing, prosecutors made an unthinkable mistake. They agreed to let John Ruffo drive himself to prison. What followed was one of the longest and most challenging manhunts in the history of the U.S. Marshals Service. We discover a man whose life was a hall of mirrors. Secret identities, unlikely affiliations, and bogus companies are uncovered. Was he secretly helping an elite unit of FBI spy-hunters lure Soviet scientists to defect? Did he cut a deal with the mob to help him disappear? Was that him, seated behind home plate at Dodger Stadium? We join the chase as the Marshals try and resolve a case that has baffled and bewildered generations of their colleagues, crossing the globe to ask one pressing question: Have you seen this man?

　　超级名厨戈登.拉姆齐负责这个厨房并把主厨们分成两组——红队和蓝队。各队要通过各种挑战来竞争，如为南加州大学步操乐队提供食物, 制作一份50年代特别的菜单，为一个五十周年结婚纪念日备办食物等。虽然挑战很折磨人，但是奖励却十分丰厚，比如说获胜的队伍可以在海边尽情享受，或是搭乘直升机去菜肴精美的餐馆。而输的一方却要留下来完成那些无聊的任务，包括打扫厨房，擦洗银器，熨烫亚麻布，准备晚会。
　　随着被淘汰的厨师们逐渐离场，只有那些能吸引住拉姆齐眼球的主厨才能进入下一轮。主厨们都觊觎着黑色主厨夹克，互相竞争，力求再坚持一个星期。最后两名选手将会进行一场白刃战，用一道五星级菜肴取悦拉姆齐。但是，只有将激情，技艺，魄力完美结合的人才会是《地狱厨房》的赢家。
