	<title>Skin Deep: The Business of Beauty</title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p> and jungle babe Jessica-Jane Clement may now be facing creepy crawlies and bush tucker trials, but tonight, we see her again tackle the ugly side of the beauty industry with  at 8.30pm.</p>

<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; ">
<img alt="Jessica-Jane Clement in Skin Deep: The Business of Beauty" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcthree/847659-high_res-skin-deep-t.jpg" width="512" height="288" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" /><p style="width:512px;font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);margin: 0 auto 20px;"> </p></div>

<p>Jess' mission is to help hard done by consumers who have suffered from beauty treatment mishaps. She finds out in this consumer series that in most parts of the UK, the beauty industry is unregulated. It's up to beauticians and hairdressers to get qualifications, so anyone could open up a salon.</p>

<p>Here's a clip from tonight's episode:</p>

<div id="211111" class="player" style="margin-left:40px"> <p>In order to see this content you need to have both  enabled and  installed. Visit  for full instructions</p> </div> <script type="text/javascript">

emp.setDomId("211111");
emp.setPlaylist("http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlist/p00lz1lc");
emp.write();
</script>

<p>Next week and in the last of the series, Jess is going to investigate more beauty disaster stories including that of a DIY home dye addict and the powerful acid peel cheaply and easily available online. Don't forget,  is on Monday at 8.30pm.</p>

	<title>New series of American Dad comes to 麻豆社 Three on Sunday</title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Emmy-nominated US animated series <a href="/blogs/bbcthree/mars_elkins/www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0072kwm">American Dad</a> comes to 麻豆社 Three for its sixth series on Sunday at 10pm.</p>

<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; ">

<p>Republican supporter and CIA agent Stan Smith (Seth MacFarlane) is back with more crazy antics along with his blissfully unaware wife, Francine (Wendy Schaal) and the rest of his unconventional family, 18-year-old left-wing activist daughter, Hayley (Rachael MacFarlane) and 14-year-old geeky yet cocky son, Steve (Scott Grimes). And of course the Smith clan is rounded out by the lovable sarcastic space alien, Roger (Seth MacFarlane) and attention-starved Klaus (Dee Bradley Baker), a goldfish with the brain of a German guy.</p>

<p>Prepare yourselves for fake deaths, CIA cyborg Stan, moments of divine intervention, Klaus getting a haircut, Steve going to war and the Smith family going on the run. This series has a lot of mischief and tomfoolery in store! Here are some exclusive photos:</p>

	<title>Up for Hire?</title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Looking for work can be tough, especially if you're not having much luck. And if it seems like there's nothing out there for you, or all you get is knock-backs, it's not long before your confidence and enthusiasm start to fade. That's where Up For Hire comes in and why 麻豆社 Three is tackling the issue, head on.</p>

<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; ">
<img alt="Up for Hire Live Logo" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcthree/ufh_logo.jpg" width="512" height="288" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" /><p style="width:512px;font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);margin: 0 auto 20px;"> </p></div>

<p><strong>Wish you could quiz a company on how to make it in their industry?</strong><br />
Or ever wondered when the best time to apply for a job is? We'll have a bunch of the UK's biggest companies waiting to speak to YOU on Up For Hire Live's  for the next two weeks, till October 21. Think of it as a sort of online career fair, but without all of the standing. They'll be ready with advice on how to get your foot in the door of their industries, or any questions about the companies themselves. They won't be hiring from the page though, so please don't ask them for work directly.</p>

<p><strong>Some people have got the coolest jobs </strong><br />
But how did they get them? We'll be quizzing a handful of different professions on Three's blogs to find out whether it was luck, talent, hard work, persistence or something else that landed them their plum jobs - and they give you the inside track on how to land one for yourself.</p>

<p>Watch one of our  on how to equip yourself with all the right tools for finding work - from working out , to , to  - these films will help you stand out.</p>

<p><br />
Over the next month, we'll be tweeting clips and tips as 麻豆社 Three using the hashtag #upforhire and hollering from 麻豆社 Three's Facebook where, if you keep an eye, you'll be able to pick up work tips from well-known entrepreneurs and celebs. Look out for the Lab UK's test, and for us on  and who'll be joining in too.</p>

<p>There's never been anything like Up For Hire on British TV, so if you're keen to sharpen your job seeking skills, get involved.</p>

	<title>The Real Hustle&apos;s new recruits</title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>New hustlers <strong>Polly Parsons</strong> and <strong>Jazz Lintott</strong> join the original trio (<strong>Jess Clement</strong>, <strong>Alexis Conran</strong> and <strong>Paul Wilson</strong>) to carry out the most devious scams to date in the new series of , which starts tonight at 8.30pm.  </p>

<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; ">
<img alt="The Real Hustle team" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcthree/whole-the-real-hustle.jpg" width="512" height="288" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" /><p style="width:512px;font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);margin: 0 auto 20px;"> </p></div>

<p>You'll see new recruits <strong>Polly</strong> and <strong>Jazz</strong> learning the arts of deception which catch out the public. But just who are Polly and Jazz?</p>

<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; ">
<img alt="Polly" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcthree/polly-the-real-hustle.jpg" width="512" height="288" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" /><p style="width:512px;font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);margin: 0 auto 20px;"> </p></div>

<p>Acting is one of the biggest skills a hustler could have and Polly, who hails from Bristol, has built up an extensive background in drama from her school days. Outside her modelling and presenting work, she enjoys bikram yoga, painting, travelling and making sure her three dogs Frank, Lulu and Coco are well looked after!</p>

<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; ">
<img alt="Jazz" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcthree/jazz-the-real-hustle.jpg" width="512" height="288" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" /><p style="width:512px;font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);margin: 0 auto 20px;"> </p></div>

<p>Former MTV and Channel 4 sound man Jazz is no stranger to acting either. The Italia Conti graduate has been involved in lots of great productions including some great plays with <strong>Matt Smith</strong> (aka ) during their National Youth Theatre days.</p>

<p>So how do Polly and Jazz get on? </p>

	<title>It&apos;s back! Doctor Who Confidential Exclusives</title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Want to know the lowdown on the new series of ?</p>

<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; ">
<img alt="Karen Gillan, Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcthree/All-three-leaning-forward.jpg" width="512" height="288" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" /><p style="width:512px;font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);margin: 0 auto 20px;"> </p></div>

<p>Confidential takes you to Nazi Germany through to the Pyramids in an access all areas series that contains giants, sharks and even the odd musical number! Here's a sneak peak at Hitler's office...</p>

<div id="250812" class="player" style="margin-left:40px"> <p>In order to see this content you need to have both  enabled and  installed. Visit  for full instructions. If you're reading via RSS, you'll need to visit the blog to access this content. </p> </div> <script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var emp = new bbc.Emp();
emp.setWidth("512");

</script>

<p>A real highlight is  and <strong>James Corden's</strong> night shoot madness where, deliriously low on sleep and high on sugar, they make up their own  invasion. Video evidence is coming soon, so watch this space.</p>

<p>The next few episodes of the series are really about making people's dreams come true. Confidential helped TV's , who plays Rory</a> achieve his lifetime ambition of being dropped into a tank full of sharks!</p>

<p>Also, there are some amazing monsters to look forward to. One is an absolute BEAST, the kind of thing that a few years ago could only be imagined, but the monster makers really excelled themselves. Confidential followed this impressive creation from the early drawings, finding someone who could possibly fit inside it (and the bloke they found was an utter giant), right through to the tough job of hand-stitching each and every single hair on the giant costume, and to its truly amazing reception when it arrived on set. Matt aka The Doctor loved it.</p>

<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; ">
<img alt="Karen Gillan, Matt Smith and Arthur Darvill" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcthree/MattPointing.jpg" width="512" height="288" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" /><p style="width:512px;font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);margin: 0 auto 20px;"> </p></div>

<p>Off-screen, Matt,  (Amy Pond) and Arthur really get on with each other like a house on fire. Check Confidential's fab three below:</p>

<div id="250811" class="player" style="margin-left:40px"> <p>In order to see this content you need to have both  enabled and  installed. Visit  for full instructions. If you're reading via RSS, you'll need to visit the blog to access this content. </p> </div> <script type="text/javascript">

emp.setPlaylist("http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlist/p00jz2df"); 
emp.write();
//-->
</script>

<p>One final exclusive to look forward to in Confidential is the full story of River Song... as told by River Song herself.  will narrate Professor Song's autobiography, telling her story... in the right order, just this once, and only on 麻豆社3...</p>

<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; ">
