Departures S02 E13

The crew are headed to a place they never thought they would ever see in their lifetime - Antarctica. Claimed by some, owned by no one. A continent for peace and science, the betterment of all mankind. Scott and Justin are granted a rare opportunity to stay in the Chilean scientific base on King George Island. They spend a week learning about life on the continent, while visiting the nearby Russian and China bases, all perfect microcosms of their home countries. The three then get on a Russian expedition ship and head down the Antarctic peninsula to witness some of the world's most breathtaking and serene atmospheres imaginable. They discover all the wonderful flora and fauna of Antarctica, and end it all by claiming a little piece of Antarctica for themselves in Paradise Bay, and building a snowman to guard their claim.

HEALTH EXPLORED.103.Blue Mind (Part 2)

In this episode set in scenic New Zealand, we explore the deep-rooted question: Does being near or in water actually improve our health? Guided by Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, author of "The Blue Mind," we delve into the scientific and emotional benefits of water, exemplified by therapeutic surfing experiences and the Maori people's ancestral connection to aquatic environments. From mental well-being to physical health, we uncover how New Zealand's abundant waters serve as more than just a natural spectacle they are a source of holistic health and well-being. Along the way, Dr. Nichols introduces the concept of a "bluescription," a personalized prescription for water-based activities, inviting viewers to tap into the transformative power of water in their own lives.

Gordon Ramsay's Great Escape S01 E01

Gordon Ramsay's Great Escape S01 E01

Gordon's odyssey begins in the north, home of our curry house classics. On board an express train he's thrown in at the deep end and experiences a back-to-basics baptism of fire, cooking for its many passengers in the train's cramped pantry car and getting travel sick while he's making curry. In stark contrast he then meets his match working for a cantankerous royal chef, preparing a biryani with a difference for a huge wedding feast before venturing into the jungle where he gets eaten alive by ants when he scales a 40-foot tree in search of the local tribe's favourite delicacy. Then it's on to Delhi to cook at the restaurant that invented tandoori chicken, where Gordon puts into practice everything he's learnt for a tough crowd of Delhi food critics.
