Monument Valley
Photographer Ian Ruhter attempts to capture iconic images of Monument Valley using a camera that he built from a truck. Using a process called wet plate collodion, Ruhter utilizes his truck as the actual camera to make the photos larger. With the truck, he is able to become the mechanics inside the camera. But as he attempts to take the perfect shot, Ruhter's meticulous process is interrupted by high winds. By the banks of the Salt River, Becky Standridge works to document and protect one of the last known herds of wild horses. Standridge brings her camera out daily for pictures of the majestic horses, getting to know their stories and habits. Standridge takes to the sky in an ultralight to see if she can spot any familiar beasts - and is elated to capture both old and new faces. In central Arizona, mountain biker Lars Romig is drawn to the red sandstone landscape of Oak Creek Canyon. As part of the Verde Valley Cyclists Coalition, Romig helps maintain mountain biking trails so he can continue to practice his craft. Romig and his friend weave through the sharp turns of the Hangover Trail before challenging themselves to run one of the steepest drops in the area: Sick Rock. The 300-foot near-vertical drop requires precision, control and mental preparation.

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.
