Brix - 8 - Der Turm
Janneke (Margarita Broich) and Brix (Wolfram Koch) are called to a crime scene at night. A young woman, scantily clad, a plastic bag pulled over her head, lies dead at the foot of one of Frankfurt's bank towers. While Janneke arrives early at the secured and cleared crime scene, Brix is late. The KTU isn't there yet either. Janneke goes into the tower alone and gets a first impression of the crime scene, taking photos as so often. Suddenly she hears footsteps behind her. She instinctively grabs her camera. A flash light illuminates the scene a couple of times, then a bang. When Brix finally arrives, he finds Janneke unconscious in the elevator. She is taken to the hospital with a traumatic brain injury. Brix goes alonegets to work and quickly reaches the limits of the hermetically sealed tower.
When Janneke regained consciousness in the hospital, she can only remember vaguely. She is also under strong medication and no longer trusts her own head. Only her photos give her something to hold on to in her extremely hazy memories. The perpetrator himself cannot really be seen in any of the images, only cutouts, blurred details, overexposed fragments. Together, Brix and Janneke try to put together a clear picture of the crime from the contradictory scraps of memory, the photos and witness statements. All threads come together in the tower. The commissioners have to gain access again.

Forged in Fire
Forged in Fire features world-class bladesmiths competing against each other to create some of the most iconic edged weapons from history. In each episode, four of the best bladesmiths in the country will come together to put both their skills and reputations on the line. Whether they are making a Japanese katana, a medieval broadsword, or an ancient throwing blade like the chakram, the weapons they forge will be fully functional and lethal works of art and war. The unique histories contained within each weapon will be creatively told during the forging process and the final weapons themselves will be assessed and ruthlessly tested by our panel of expert judges. These dynamic and explosive tests will be individually designed to push the weapons to their absolute limit. One by one, the bladesmiths will be eliminated until only one remains to be crowned the champion.

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).
