Episode Name.... How Safe Is Going Out?
Season.......... 2020x13
Plot............ Britain's service industry is battling for customers, but the public need to be convinced the big names are doing all they can to limit risk to exposure. Many hotel chains, transport companies, restaurants and pubs are making big promises of `deep cleans" and ``enhanced hygiene practices", but with the resurgence of Covid-19, Morland Sanders puts them to test and asks just how safe is it when we go out. Government public health guidance says regular cleaning of surfaces plays a vital role in limiting the transmission of Covid-19 in public settings. In a national experiment, the programme tests the cleanliness of the surfaces people might encounter on a commute, or going for a drink, a meal or a mini staycation? It also examines emerging research concerning airborne transmission of Covid, as well as meeting people whose wellbeing is reliant on the hygiene standards of the service industry

Episode Name.... Britain's Covid Job Crisis
Season.......... 2020x14
Plot............ As the furlough scheme comes to an end, the programme follows the response to a job advert for a minimum-wage server role at a Manchester restaurant. Almost 1,000 people apply, including Katie, a cabin services attendant; Faye, a cruise ship dancer; Jake, a hotel manager; and John, a ticket inspector. We get to know them, as well as Abi, the recruitment consultant in charge of narrowing down the field; and Kerry, a mum-of-two who lost her job at Bentley and is desperate to find a new position to avoid the family losing their home. Through the lens of this one position, Dispatches explores the jobs crisis brought on by Covid that is threatening to push unemployment over three million by Christmas
