Giant Constructions - Season 1
Season 1
Episodes
Road Bridges
Road bridges: gigantic constructions of modern road traffic. Europa and Ganter Bridge, Öresund bridge, Sunshine Skyway and Viaduct de Millau.
Moving Bridges
Moving Bridges: Exotic milestones on moveable infrastructure. Historically significant: the Kaiser Wilhelm Bridge and the Michigan Avenue bridge. Mechanically unique: the Pont Jacques, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge or the Scale Lane Bridge.
Suspension Bridges
Suspension bridges - impressively wide and stretched high over supporting cables or stay cables. The landscape-shaping icons: The superlative Golden Gate, Akashi Kaikyo, Aizaih, El Baluarte and Russky Bridge.
Steel Bridges
Steel bridges are extremely durable and multifunctional, fascinating not only due to its gigantic size but also because of the army of workers keeping the bridges in shape: whether on the historical landmark in Sydney or ultramodern mega bridges in China.
Railway Bridges
Railway bridges fascinate through different construction methods from masonry, truss-beam bridges to steel-concrete arch bridge. Heavier loads, faster speeds, more frequently: trains speed over bridges and the maintenance teams face ever larger challenges.

Saturday Night Live
Saturday Night Live is an Emmy Award-winning late-night comedy showcase.
Since its inception in 1975, "SNL" has launched the careers of many of the brightest comedy performers of their generation. As The New York Times noted on the occasion of the show's Emmy-winning 25th Anniversary special in 1999, "in defiance of both time and show business convention, 'SNL' is still the most pervasive influence on the art of comedy in contemporary culture." At the close of the century, "Saturday Night Live" placed seventh on Entertainment Weekly's list of the Top 100 Entertainers of the past fifty years.
