World's Most Scenic River Journeys - Season 2
Season 2
Episodes
Bure, England
The documentary telling the stories of epic trips along waterways returns with a look at the River Bure. Cameras travel from the tranquillity of the upper river, through the holiday hub of Wroxham, and through historical open fenlands.
Dordogne, France
This week, we escape on a magical voyage through the green heart of southwest France. We travel by traditional boats down a once-vital waterway, and we take a hot air balloon high over fairytale castles, which hide a turbulent past, but now form a tranquil playground. Guided by those who live, work and play in the handsome towns of the Dordogne, we go hunting for truffles on its banks and drink the wine it produces, as we experience the culinary delights of the river. And we take a trip aboard a luxury cruiser to a lighthouse built for a king.
Guadalquivir, Spain
The latest journey begins on the Guadalquivir, Spain's second longest river. Cameras also focus on the great Muslim city of Cordoba, and there is a visit to the water gardens of the Alcazar, before travelling on to Seville. There the spotlight shines on a paralympic oarsman.
River Suir, Ireland
Bill Nighy narrates a journey down Ireland's River Suir. From its headwaters in Devil's Bit Mountain, County Tipperary, down to the Hook Lighthouse in County Wexford, it's a river that flows with the history of the Emerald Isle.
The Yukon, Canada
Cameras trek up to Canada's far northern reaches for a rough and tumble journey down one of the wildest rivers in the world, the Yukon. The unusual trip starts in an aircraft piloted by a painter, and the odyssey ends with a visit to a graveyard of disintegrating rear-wheel steamers.
The St Lawrence
Buller River, New Zealand
The Potomac
Cameras travel down the Potomac, and float in the river valley that was surveyed by a young George Washington. The journey ends at America's 'prettiest body of water', Chesapeake Bay. Here we join a marine biologist who searches and helps protect the much adored bottlenose dolphins.
The Neretva
Narrated by Bill Nighy, this is a journey down Bosnia and Herzegovina's Neretva River, which flows like a healing balm through a country riven by war. At its headwaters high in the Dinaric Alps, a place where bears and wolves still outnumber humans, we begin our journey with Amel Emric. He is a veteran war photographer, who covered the destruction of his country in the 1990s
The Suwannee

The Traitors
Set in a remote castle in the Scottish Highlands and based on the wildly popular Dutch series of the same name, 5-time Emmy-nominated Alan Cumming plays host to twenty larger-than-life personalities (including reality A-listers and America's best game players) who come together to complete a series of challenges with the objective of earning a cash prize of up to $250,000. The catch? Three of the contestants coined "the traitors" will devise a plan to steal the prize from the other contestants coined "the faithful".
The Trades
Set in a blue-collar community where the high stress of working in a refinery is balanced by the comedic high-wire antics of its plant workers, The Trades centres around Todd, a pipefitter, and his sister and roommate, Audrey, who follows in her big brother's footsteps pursuing a career in the trades as a carpenter, just like their father Rod.
Death by Fame
Death by Fame goes behind the scenes to uncover the sinister side of fame and reveal the shocking true stories behind the rise, fall and murder of some of Hollywood's most promising stars.
Ghosts
Samantha and Jay throw caution to the wind when they convert their recently inherited country estate into a bed-and-breakfast. Call it mislaid plans. Not only is the place falling apart, but it's also inhabited by spirits of previous residents -- whom only Samantha can see and hear. Ghosts spins the funny, heartfelt story about a newfound dream that reveals connection and self-discovery aren't just for the living.
The Proof Is Out There
The Proof Is Out There takes an in-depth look at some of the most incredible and thought provoking videos of unexplained phenomena and mysterious must-see moments of all time. Each half-hour episode explores and analyzes the full story of each irregularity in question from bizarre footage of people seemingly immune to lightning, to a fifty-foot snake, apocalyptic sounds in a man's backyard, enigmatic creatures, and UFOS that split and dive underwater. Through expert examination and the use of the latest technologies, The Proof Is Out There aims to get to the bottom of what's real? What's fake? And everything in between.
