Air Crash Investigation Special Report - Season 6
Season 6
Episodes
Pitch Problems
Pitch problems, or the incorrect position of the aeroplane nose, lead to catastrophic impacts that leave little evidence behind. This episode features three such disasters that left investigators stumped.
Fight to the Finish
Pushed to the limit, three flight crews in jeopardy overcome impossible odds to land their aircraft. The pilots of a Boeing 707 lose both right engines while flying over the French Alps and the plane slowly starts to catch fire.
Bad Data
When a stealth bomber crashes at a US Air Force base as a result of bad data, it becomes the most expensive aviation disaster ever.
Landing Hazards
Three shocking catastrophes show the threat bad weather poses to landings. Martinair flight 495 faces more than torrential rain and ends up crashing on the runway in Portugal.
Training Ignored
Investigators hunt for answers when the pilots of three aircraft skip protocols, ignore their training, and crash.
Reckless Approaches
A crew argues - with no runway in sight. A captain ignores a critical signal. And, an exhausted pilot picks a catastrophic time to try a new approach.

Married at First Sight
Married at First Sight, the extreme social experiment where four couples will meet for the very first time on their wedding day. Three top relationship experts are controlling this radical experiment involving eight Aussie singles, using a mix of neuroscience and psychology to try to create four perfect matches.

These four extremely brave and hopeful couples will face the most terrifying wedding imaginable – tying the knot with someone they have never laid eyes on.
Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
Poppa's House
