Jeremy returns to Magaluf to explore if the reputation the resort has is changing or now, due to the new regulations introduced by the authorities. He also tries to track down the security guard who pepper sprayed him in the show last year.

In this episode Jeremy looks at the dangers of the internet, meeting a organisation that catches child predators and discovering how anyone can access the web to purchase anything from guns to drugs to fake passports. Jeremy also confronts a online troll.

Jeremy investigates what life is like living on benefits in the UK.

Jeremy looks at Britain's obesity crisis, lifting the lid on the competitive world of eating challenges, a craze from America which involves people consuming huge portions of food within a time limit. He meets a woman from the West Midlands who claims to be able to take on any eating challenge. The programme also visits a fast food restaurant in Las Vegas which encourages customers to eat calorie laden, unhealthy meals - apparently in the name of education - and Jeremy confronts its owner about his approach.

This episode focuses on the issue of irresponsible driving, particularly when combined with the use of mobile phones at the wheel. He goes out on patrol with a specialist police team who tackle what they call the ‘Fatal Five' - speeding, driving without a seatbelt, driving while distracted, careless driving, and being behind the wheel under the influence of drugs or drink. And he meets a man who openly admits to having driven under the influence of hard drugs.

In this programme, Jeremy explores drinking culture and the dangers revellers face on a night out in Britain. He visits Norwich, which perhaps surprisingly appears in statistics as one of the top five places for drink-related hospital admissions in the UK. He asks the man who represents the night-time industry in Britain whether licensees should take responsibility for the scenes he has witnessed. And the programme hears from two families affected by tragedies caused directly by drinking.

Jeremy investigates how dogs bred to attack are being used by gangs as weapons and by individuals as status symbols. He meets members of the Met Police's status dogs unit, and speaks to gang members who tell him how they train the canines to be more aggressive.

He also speaks to a pitbull fan who believes the banned dog has been given a bad press, meets a dog trainer who says with the right training any pooch can be tamed, and is set upon by a trained attack dog to gain an insight into the experience.

Following reports that homelessness in Britain is rising, Jeremy looks into the plight of Britain's rough sleepers. He visits a tent city protest, and his team spends a day with a homeless man, learning about his daily struggles and happy former life. The programme goes undercover to investigate the issue of abuse against rough sleepers, and Jeremy goes out in disguise with a homeless man to experience life on the streets. He also meets hairdresser Josh Coombes - who offers free trims to the homeless.

Following Brexit, and with the news that levels of hate crime were on the rise even before June 2016, Jeremy investigates how tensions between different groups are simmering. The programme visits Bolton to witness a demonstration against plans for a new mosque, and Jeremy attends a mediation meeting between the two sides aimed at reaching an amicable resolution. He also looks at a rise in homophobic attacks, joining revellers at Pride Manchester, and meeting a participant who has been physically abused because of his sexuality. The programme also features a social experiment to find out who might intervene when a waitress starts abusing a gay couple.

In the first episode in a new series of 'The Kyle Files, Jeremy Kyle investigates the law surrounding cannabis. Opinion is still divided; some think that it's no worse than having a pint, but others see it as a gateway to more addictive drugs. However, clinical trials are suggesting that cannabis could be beneficial for conditions like MS and epilepsy, so is it time to think again about changing the law?

With regular headlines appearing in the newspapers about how public services are overstretched - from patients being treated in hospital corridors to the fire service being put under pressure, Jeremy goes out with frontline staff to find out the real impact of government cuts. During the show, he rides along with paramedics, police and firefighters as well as visiting a GP's surgery to see how cuts are affecting staff morale, and their fears about the future.

In the light of successful programmes like Love Island, Jeremy investigates the latest trend for men to risk their health by using steroids to create the perfect body. He hears from a grieving mother the true danger men put themselves in when injecting steroids, he confronts a steroid dealer, a user tells his story, and laboratory tests reveal shocking results from steroids purchased from different gyms.

This time, Jeremy looks into how authorities are dealing with users and dealers of class A drugs like heroin and cocaine. He speaks to a former undercover policeman who after years of putting dealers behind bars now believes the only way to win the war is the regulation of drugs. Two teenagers tell him how they have been selling drugs since the age of 14 in rural towns and cities - known as the ‘county lines'. And he talks to a gang that says the vast amounts of money they can make is their main draw to dealing.

While using the internet, social media, and free wifi hotspots is now an everyday occurrence for many, Jeremy asks whether people should be better educated about the danger they could be putting themselves in. He meets paedophile hunters Dark Justice, who tell him online grooming is a growing issue and give him a demonstration of how they detect it. And he sets up a social media experiment which reveals how little people know about the risks of posting details about their lives online.

This time, Jeremy investigates what the authorities are doing to clamp down on the growing trend of acid attacks in London.

He follows Met Police officers as they show him how they deal with an acid attack, and what they are doing to try to limit the availability of the ingredients that gangs are using to perpetrate their crimes. The programme hears from the victim of an unprovoked random attack about the impact on her life - not just from the physical disfigurement but from mental scars which meant she was left fearing leaving her home. And Jeremy confronts an ex-gang member who admits he has thrown acid on someone before.

Jeremy investigates a sinister new phenomenon apparently fuelled by the housing crisis. It's thought that 250,000 women have been affected by arrangements where landlords offer free accommodation in return for sex. Jeremy meets a young woman who says she had no choice but to agree to one of these arrangements, tracks down and confronts men who are doing it, in a bid to understand why it is happening and what can be done to stop it.

In the second episode, Jeremy investigates a massive rise in moped muggings - 2017 saw a huge spike in this type of crime and the Metropolitan Police are fighting back with their controversial, tactical contact operations. Jeremy goes out on a patrol to see why they say this approach is necessary, meets the victims of attacks to understand the impact on their lives - and gets caught in the middle when he tries to confront youths involved in it.

This time, Jeremy explores Britain's relationship with alcohol. Every day in the UK more than 20 people die from excessive drinking and that number is rising. In 2016 the government's Low Risk Drinking Guidelines were published - but few people seem to be aware of them and even when they are, many don't follow their advice. Jeremy goes out with West Midlands Ambulance Service to see the impact alcohol has on emergency services, speaks to those addicted to drinking, and consults an industry expert on the true scale of the problem.

In the fourth episode, Jeremy probes the private rented sector. More than three million people are thought to be living in properties that are not only unfit for purpose but some are even dangerous. Jeremy goes out with council officers as they visit some of the worst offending properties. He meets tenants living in terrible conditions, confronts a rogue landlord and hears from an organisation fighting for tenants' rights.

Jeremy explores the facial aesthetics industry - because demand for procedures such as anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers has boomed, the sector is now thought to be worth a massive £3 billion, yet is almost entirely unregulated. Jeremy meets people who take these procedures to the extreme, hears from a girl who paid the price of a poorly skilled practitioner and goes undercover to put a high street salon to the test - with shocking results.

In the final episode, Jeremy investigates knife crime after the number of people who lost their lives to knives in 2018 reached the highest level since records began. He goes out on a series of raids with the Metropolitan Police to tackle violent crime, hears from the families of those killed and injured in stabbings, meets youths who refuse to put their knives down and visits prison to see if there's another way to tackle the problem.
