VILLAGE VETS PREMIERE
From Wednesday, 4 May at 21:00
Vets James and Anthony are back with more extraordinary tales of caring for the animals of Berry, Shoalhaven Heads, and Kangaroo Valley, in southern New South Wales. The practice they co-run is in a small Australian town but they treat a colourful mix of patients, from everyday cats, dogs and farm animals to exotic pets and local wildlife such as echidnas and sugar gliders. They even treat their own pets, which brings a very different set of challenges. The action at the practice picks up as the team welcomes plucky new addition Chris, fresh from university – as well as a very different, and far more exciting, kind of new arrival for
James. In ‘Village Vets’ the animals, the practice and the people take centre stage in a series that
celebrates Australian country life in all its feathered, furry and scaly glory.
TANKED PREMIERE
From Monday, 9 May at 18:15
‘Tanked’ returns to follow business partners, best friends and constant rivals Wayde King and Brett Raymer as they navigate the murky depths of aquarium design. The guys are at the reins of the USA’s largest aquarium manufacturing company, Acrylic Tank Manufacturing (ATM) and it's going with a splash. This series, they face even more incredible design challenges. NBA All-Star John Wall requests an aquarium shaped like a pair of dice, and Chicago Bulls star Jimmy Butler wants to make sweet music with an old-school boombox aquarium that lights up and plays music. Brett and Wayde must design and build a custom tank for the founder of famed R&B group Boyz II Men. Plus, who will win as Wayde and Brett engage in the first ever Tank Off? 'Jackass' creator Jeff Tremaine returns to award the most badass tank.
LIFE AFTER: CHERNOBYL PREMIERE
From Sunday, 22 May at 21:00
‘Life After: Chernobyl’ explores the worst nuclear catastrophe in history, which sent a plume of highly radioactive fallout exploding into the atmosphere - 100 times the combined radiation emission from the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. Two scientists have now been allowed total access to the area surrounding the infamous Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. Biologist Rob Nelson and anthropologist Mary-Ann Ochota are the first scientists to be permitted unlimited access to the Chernobyl danger zone, to investigate how the environment and wildlife have been affected after 30 years in the most contaminated area on earth. They can stay for as long as they need to conduct their research, but must ensure the radiation exposure to their bodies does not reach unacceptably high levels. What they discover about the effects of high radiation doses on animal and plant life in the region is astonishing.
RESTORATION WILD PREMIERE
From Sunday, 29 May at 21:00
Brand new series ‘Restoration Wild’ follows master restorer
Jay Chaikin as he and his crew repurpose the coolest vintage structures and relics, recycling them into amazing, one-of-akind living spaces of the most spectacular variety. Jay has a passion for bringing people closer to the natural environment in imaginative ways – whether it’s transforming a disused silo into an industrial-themed bar or renovating a 1940s bus into a quirky guesthouse. Jay and his highly skilled team are not only searching deep into the woodlands for the ruins of yesterday, they’re using them to create environments that look as if they were placed there by nature. In this series, the team embarks on a cross-country renovation road trip, from Maryland to North Carolina, Michigan to the Rockies, bringing an eye for design and expert craftsmanship to places in need of a facelift – with astonishing results.
