An Iar-thìr Fhiadhaich/The Wild West

Hold onto your hats, as Calum Macdonald, Kerry Anne Macleod and the History Hunters hit the trail with the cowboys and early pioneers who forged America's western frontier. Find out about life as a cool cowboy, wrangling cattle, lassos and dressing to impress!

To haul all their worldly goods way out west, the pioneers needed something bigger than a horse could carry: a wagon. But how did wagons survive miles of desert sun, rain and deep river crossings? The History Hunters experiment to find out, making a wagon to withstand the weather out west. Cowboys used whip cracking sounds to herd cattle and, in their second mission, the History Hunters have go at making their own whip. Can they crack it?

Back in the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne investigate the honda knot that controls a lasso noose, before trying it out on their stunt bull. They also learn how the pioneer families preserved food in the hot desert sun.

The Repair Shop

The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.

Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.

Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.

The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
