Episodes
Episode 1
Autumnwatch is back, but this time with a difference - for the first time ever the team are coming live from America. Every year six billion trees across New England turn into a riot of yellows, reds and golds, and Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Gillian Burke have travelled to New Hampshire to beam live pictures of this phenomenon back to the UK.
Episode 2
Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan are live once more from the beautiful Squam Lake in New Hampshire, where overnight events have already thrown up plenty of surprises on the live cameras. Gillian Burke gets up close with one of New England's smallest owls, the saw-whet.
Episode 3
Live from their base in the heart of New Hampshire, Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Gillian Burke bring us the latest happenings from deep in the American woods. We learn about the science of how this spectacular leaf change comes about, and meet some of the smaller residents who change colour along with the leaves.
Episode 4
Chris, Michaela and Gillian look back at some of the spectacular sights that have graced our screens over the week, comparing the richness of these American forests to the species seen in the UK. There is a film about the incredible migration of the monarch, a butterfly that flies all the way to Mexico at this time of year, plus a swirling tornado of tree swallows which Michaela went to see in Connecticut. And in Boston, a pack of dangerous animals are on the loose - gangs of turkeys roam the streets driving some residents to distraction.

Jeopardy!
Jeopardy! is a classic game show -- with a twist. The answers are given first, and the contestants supply the questions. Three contestants, including the previous show's champion, compete in six categories and in three rounds (with each round's "answers" being worth more prize money).
Son of a Critch
Based on the award-winning, best-selling memoir from Mark Critch. This new original comedy is the hilarious and very real story of 11-year-old Mark coming of age in St. John's, Newfoundland in the 80s. It's a heartfelt window into the life of a child – much older inside than his 11 years – using comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world.
The Last Woodsmen
The Last Woodsmen takes us deep into the secluded wilderness with these courageous and highly skilled loggers as they literally risk their lives. It's a rarely explored, dangerous business which translates to incredibly engrossing television.
On a floating barge hundreds of miles from civilization, veteran logger Jared Douglas puts everything on the line to harvest the largest timber in the world. One misstep in this high-risk industry could cost tens of thousands of dollars, or even a life. Joining him at the edge of the world is a tight-knit crew of lumbermen who, with only axes and hand-held power saws, take down massive, highly valuable trees that can be worth up to $70K each.
