The Bikers continue their adventure in Norfolk, one of their favourite parts of the world. Both Dave and Si are big fans of the seafood that can be found in the county's 90 miles of shoreline, but this time they're heading inland towards East Barsham, a tiny village close to the market town of Fakenham, to meet Jake and his partner Terri. The couple have only recently taken over the Barsham Arms, a country pub that's doing a great job of attracting the locals to their 40-seat restaurant.
But to keep the locals coming back for more, they need to keep the menu fresh, and that means finding a steady stream of new produce for Jake to play with. The Bikers meet Jake, and through his flamboyant scone and lamb dishes, learn they need to find produce to include on the menu that's as creative as his cooking.
Episode 6
Dave and Si are heading towards Drighlington, to a vegetarian Indian restaurant called Prashad sitting on the outskirts of Leeds and Bradford.

Bobby and Minal have built up a loyal customer base, winning a host of awards along the way, including a prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand. But now they have their eyes on an even bigger prize, a coveted Michelin star. And that means creating an even more ambitious menu.
Episode 7
Dave and Si are headed to The Stackpole Inn, a multi-award-winning gastro pub in Pembrokeshire. Owners Gary and Becky first took it on 15 years ago. The couple were joined in 2019 by head chef Matt Waldron, who prides himself on using local ingredients - 90% of his menu features food from Pembrokeshire or from within Wales.
It's the Bikers' mission to introduce Matt and team Stackpole to the fantastic local food producers that aren't yet on their radar. But first, they have to learn more about what makes their business tick. After enjoying a tasting session of lobster, crab and a dessert made from local strawberries, Dave and Si know they're going to get creative in their bid to introduce Matt to new local suppliers.
Episode 8
The Bikers are in beautiful Northumberland, heading towards Wall, a small village just north of Hexham. It's an area with a bloody past of marauding Vikings and historic battles. But it's the future of a new business in this gorgeous rural location that's got the Bikers' attention.
Dave and Si are visiting Hjem, a restaurant located within the Hadrian Hotel and run by Scandinavian-born chef Alex and his partner Ally, who's front of house. Their incredible 18-course tasting menu has gained them quite a reputation, along with a coveted Michelin star.
It's the Bikers' job to help Alex and Ally connect with new, local producers, ones that can inspire award-winning cuisine, but after enjoying incredible dishes from the Hjem's tasting menu, Dave and Si know they have their work cut out for them.

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.

In between the winter storms, the teams ‘off road' skills are put to the test.

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.

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.
