The show blends romance, history, and animal rescue. I find it charming, but the pacing can feel slow at times. Still entertaining for a relaxed evening.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:20px;\">09:00\u201310:00 \u2013 Call the Bailiffs: Time to Pay Up<\/h2>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.filmon.com\/assets\/tvguide\/image\/posters\/90c81d1bf5778fa090e341387ce5e2aa319921ab.png\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:300px;\" alt=\"Call the Bailiffs: Time to Pay Up\"\/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px;\">Follow enforcement agents as they chase debtors.
