Season 1
Episodes
Episode 1
Guy heads 200 miles above the Arctic Circle to embed with the Royal Marines, the UK's winter warfare experts. Guy is keen to find out if he's tough enough to become a special operations commando, whose job it is to operate in the harshest environments and deter an attack from an increasingly belligerent Russia. Guy embeds at Camp Viking, the Royal Marines' hub of operations in Norway, where the average temperature is minus 20, living with the commandos in their barracks and training alongside them on the annual Cold Weather Warfare Course. Guy is challenged to survive being dunked into a frozen lake and to spend a night with fellow new recruits in the wilderness. Later, there's a chance to drive an all-terrain vehicle using night vision. Guy joins up with Commando Helicopter Force for a live ride on a helicopter gunship. And he explores why exactly Russia values the Arctic so highly and the kind of weaponry they would use in an Arctic conflict.
Episode 2
Guy's Arctic adventure continues focusing his training on combat. He starts with an amphibious raid, storming a beach with 30 other commandos and rides a £1million all-terrain attack vehicle. He's also attached to an experienced strike group training to operate behind enemy lines. Armed with a rifle, three magazines of bullets, and his snowshoes, Guy must fight in deep snow and temperatures averaging minus 20C, overcome an enemy sniper, save a casualty and arrange an emergency helicopter evacuation.

The Capture
When proud British soldier Shaun Emery's conviction for a murder in Afghanistan is successfully overturned due to flawed video evidence, he begins to plan for his life as a free man with his six year old daughter. However, when damning CCTV footage emerges from an incident in London, it isn't long before Shaun finds himself fighting for his freedom once more, only with lies, betrayal and corruption spreading further than he ever could have imagined. With DI Rachel Carey drafted in to investigate in what could be a career-defining case, she must discover if there is more to the shocking evidence than first meets the eye. Rachel will soon learn that the truth is merely a matter of perspective - before deciding what hers is.
McDonald & Dodds
McDonald & Dodds is set in Bath and follows the wildly ambitious DCI McDonald, who is partnered with the shy, modest DS Dodds. While McDonald has transferred from the mean streets of South London to leap up the career ladder, Dodds has happily languished on the shelf for most of his working life.
McDonald is a tough, driven, battering ram of a cop who cracks cases through sheer force of will; Dodds – the tortoise to her hare – is quiet, unassuming and enigmatic. But thrust back into frontline action for the first time in a decade, he discovers a hidden talent for deciphering puzzles. Two contemporary Britons, seemingly with nothing in common, thrown together, boss McDonald and loyal sidekick Dodds forge a rumbustious, entertaining and ultimately – give or take a few setbacks – effective partnership.
Highway Thru Hell
Highway Thru Hell focuses on a team of drivers who work for Jamie Davis, along with several other heavy recovery operations fighting to keep the roads open in some of the most dangerous working conditions ever seen on TV. The Coquihalla and nearby highways through BC's Cascade Mountains have some of the most difficult and fast changing road conditions anywhere. When it's snowing hard up top on the summit of ‘The Coq', 1200 metres below its pounding rain in The Fraser Valley. Add to that, Canada's busiest trucking route to the West Coast, Highway 1 (Trans Canada Hwy), and you have the ‘Bermuda Triangle' of trucking. Police and highway maintenance crews depend on Highway Thru Hell's heavy rescue operators to respond at a moment's notice in the worst conditions. In between the winter storms, the teams ‘off road' skills are put to the test. The rugged terrain near Hope, British Columbia dishes out some of the most unique and challenging recovery jobs over steep cliffs, down deep ravines and even in bodies of water. Highway Thru Hell is ultimately a series about man versus Mother Nature and the toughest men in the towing business being pushed to their breaking point. The stakes are high - lives, the economy and thousands of jobs depend on the highways staying open, and the last line of defense is Heavy Rescue.
