Gold Rush
From Monday 15 October at 20:00
Living off the grid in the brutal wilderness of Yukon, a group of ambitious miners are in serious pursuit of gold. With new miners, new claims, new machines and new ways to pull gold out of the ground, the stakes are higher than ever. But will big risks lead to a bigger payout? The teams have huge, brand new machines which help them achieve the largest goals ever seen on the show. The challenges that lie ahead are numerous, with the team having to work punishing hours around the clock, to keep the machinery in working order. Their success or failure depends on the friendships that they are able to forge within the community, if they are to stand a chance at all of striking gold.

Richard Rawlings is a man on a motoring mission. In his quest to help other business owners find success, he's travelling the US in search of struggling automotive and motorcycle shops that are desperate for cash and on the brink of failure. In sunny Huntington Beach, California, Richard and his rehab team check out a failing hot rod shop which, despite its location in a wealthy area, is run- down, disorganised and lacking in tools. And, Richard manages to mix business and pleasure as he rescues a once-legendary 4x4 shop in Arizona - where it's also Barrett Jackson week. With just a week to overhaul each shop, will Richard and his team be able to save a struggling garage from closing its doors forever?
Above And Beyond: NASA's Journey To Tomorrow
On Sunday 14 October at 20:00
Of all mankind's extraordinary achievements throughout history, space travel is amongst most remarkable. In the quest to understand where we came from, where we're going and where we stand in the universe, no organisation represents this human curiosity more than NASA. Coinciding with NASA's 60th anniversary, this documentary from award-winning filmmaker - and niece of President John F. Kennedy - Rory Kennedy, shines a light on the historic institution that went to the moon, the surface of Mars, and to the outer edge of our solar system. As well as examining NASA's triumphs and tragedies in its missions, the film explores the vital role it has played in measuring the health of planet Earth itself.
Alaska: The Last Frontier
From Monday 29 October at 21:00
Deep in the Alaskan wilderness live the Kilcher family and their isolated community. The Kilchers, led by patriarch Atz Kilcher, have cultivated and lived on their homestead outside Homer, Alaska, for four generations. These men and women of the wild truly live off the land. They spend the limited months of summer and autumn gardening, hunting and fishing for food, gathering supplies from the land and preparing their animals' safety in preparation for surviving the harsh Alaskan winters. Most live completely off the grid, with no running water and no electricity - and are proud of it. But freedom comes at a price and for this family of 21st century pioneers; whilst life is never boring, survival is never easy.
