Episodes
Episode 1
Manchán Magan embraces the ethos of slow travel, taking the time to get to know people and places, and experiencing local customs and traditions. He takes a 100mph zipline ride across a Welsh quarry, dances the Congo at a party in Brussels, cycles through treetops on an innovative Belgian trail and visits a floating farm in Rotterdam.
Episode 2
Manchán continues his journey across the continent, stopping off in Berlin, where he dines on an array of dishes made with protein-packed insects. In Prague, he learns about fruit foraging in the city and meets two sisters with a passion for baking. When Manchán arrives in Budapest, he heads straight to the public baths before exploring the city.
Episode 3
Manchán visits Zagreb, where he learns about the city's witch-hunting past and sips coffee in a café that is a replica of the Orient Express. At his next stop in Slovenia's Lake Bled, he rows out to a little island church, before enjoying a locally-made picnic. Manchán goes diving in Genoa on the Italian coast and learns about an award-winning pesto sauce from a local lawyer turned foodie
Episode 4
Manchán embarks on the final leg of his journey, travelling along the famed Riviera coastline by train, where he bumps into a French caricaturist who sketches his portrait in between stations. In the medieval village of Èze, he stops off at a perfume factory to create a scent that reminds him of his trip. Manchán's final night is spent in San Sebastien in Spain's Basque region.

Set in Toronto at the dawn of the 20th century, Murdoch Mysteries is a one-hour drama series that explores the intriguing world of William Murdoch, a methodical and dashing detective who pioneers innovative forensic techniques to solve some of the city's most gruesome murders. Murdoch's colleagues include the love of his life, coroner and psychiatrist Dr. Julia Ogden, a staunch ally who shares the detective's fascination for science; Constable George Crabtree, Murdoch's eager but sometimes naïve right-hand man; Inspector Brackenreid, Murdoch's skeptical yet reluctantly supportive boss; and coroner Dr. Emily Grace, Dr. Ogden's protégé.
Happy's Place
Happy's Place follows Bobbie who inherits her father's restaurant and is less than thrilled to discover that she has a new business partner in the half-sister she never knew she had.
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
