Season 10

Episodes

Canoe Slalom
In the first of a brand new series of the Adventure Show we're taking to the rapids and the stunning white water of the River Tay, near Aberfeldy. We're here for the Grandtully Premier Slalom where Scottish athletes can be guaranteed to do well. This year Olympic gold-medallist, Tim Baillie from Aberdeen, gives an expert's view on the action.

UCI Mountain Bike World Cup
Fort William is once again resounding to the sound of cheering crowds and crunching gears as the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup returns to Scotland. And there's no shortage of action, from the fast and brutal 4X to the downhill, where there's a vertical drop of 555 metres down one of the longest and toughest courses on the World Cup circuit.

The West Highland Way Race
The Adventure Show is at one of Scotland's most prestigious events, the gruelling West Highland Way race, which runs from Milngavie, on the outskirts of Glasgow, to Fort William. This 95-mile route takes most walkers a week to complete, but every year over 100 hardy runners turn Scotland's first official long-distance trail into an unforgettable ultra-marathon, with the fastest completing it in under 15 hours.

Braveheart Triathlon
The Braveheart Triathlon is exactly that. With an open water swim of over a mile, more than 50 miles on the bike and a run up and down Ben Nevis, this is not an event for the fainthearted. In this year's race, Dougie Vipond joins over 100 competitors for a day he'll remember for ever.

The Glen Coe Skyline
The rugged mountains of Lochaber provide a spectacular backdrop to one of the toughest adventure races in the world. The Glen Coe Skyline attracts a top-class international field and the Adventure Show follows competitors as they tackle a course which includes nearly 5,000 metres of ascent over terrain that many would describe as rock climbing.

Roads Less Travelled - Sutherland, Caithness and Orkney: Part 1
Scotland's best-known outdoors man, Cameron McNeish, undertakes a 150-mile journey through some of the least visited parts of our country from the southern end of Sutherland to the northern tip of the Orkney Islands.

Roads Less Travelled - Sutherland, Caithness and Orkney: Part 2
In the second part of his journey, Cameron celebrates what he triumphantly calls our 'world class landscape' as he explores lesser-known aspects of six Orkney islands. His guests include those whose families have lived here for generations to relative newcomers who have made the journey north to become part of a vibrant community.

Original Mountain Marathon 2016
This month Dougie Vipond and the Adventure Show team are back where it all began with the OMM - the Original Mountain Marathon. Nearly half a century ago, this iconic event laid the foundations for the thriving adventure racing scene we know today.

Colin Prior Mountain Man - North West Highlands
Colin Prior is one of the world's most acclaimed landscape photographers, someone who made his name with a set of panoramic images that defined wild Scotland for a generation. But, using the latest digital technology, he is attempting to capture a definitive record of three iconic mountains in the northwest Highlands. These include what many regard as our finest summit, An Teallach.
We've been following his progress, between the winter and spring equinoxes, and discover that the result of six months of work is just a handful of images.
Recently Updated Shows

Art Detectives
Art Detectives is a compelling new original crime series centered around the Heritage Crime Unit, a police department consisting of art loving DI Mick Palmer and straight-talking DC Shazia Malik. Together, they solve murders connected to the world of art and antiques, from Old Master paintings, to Banksy street art, medieval manuscripts and collectible vinyl.
Throughout the season, the artfully astute detectives encounter a fake Vermeer, Viking gold, a rare Chinese vase and items rescued from the Titanic. It's a rich and colorful world driven by greed, obsession, lust and revenge. Mick navigates these demanding cases while managing a budding romance with museum curator Rosa and the sudden reappearance of his charismatic father, Ron, who just happens to be one of Britain's most notorious forgers.

Mistletoe Murders
Emily Lane is a good-natured Christmas shop owner with a secret past. When local murders begin to pop up in Fletcher's Grove, Emily can't help but to use her unique talents from her past life to help solve murders that affect people in her new life. She crosses paths with Detective Sam Wilner who she starts to make a connection with, until he comes to learn there is more to Emily than meets the eye.

12 12 12
12 12 12 unfolds across three timelines of a heist: the 12 months of planning, the 12 hours of the heist, and the 12 days following the heist. The series follows a disgraced FBI agent and an American career criminal who play a zero-sum game of cat and mouse across Europe. At the center of it all is the daring, epic raid on a bank vault deep beneath the streets of Zurich.

Destination X
Destination X sees a group of contestants go on the road trip of a lifetime but they have no idea of their location. In order to win, they must figure out their mystery locations. Once they're on the blacked-out Destination X bus, the journey turns into a real-life game board, with challenges designed to offer clues as to their location, along with a few misdirects to keep them guessing.
At the end of each episode, the contestant who places an X on a map furthest from the actual location packs their bags. The first participant to reach Destination X will be crowned the winner.

American Pickers
This isn't your grandmother's antiquing. The American Pickers are on a mission to recycle America, even if it means diving into countless piles of grimy junk or getting chased off a gun-wielding homeowner's land. Hitting back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers earn a living by restoring forgotten relics to their former glory, transforming one person's trash into another's treasure. The show follows the team as they scour the country for hidden gems in junkyards, basements, garages and barns, meeting quirky characters and hearing their amazing stories. If you think the antique business is all about upscale boutiques and buttoned-up dealers, this show may change your mind – and teach you a thing or two about American history along the way.
