Dangerous Flights is a fast-paced, adventure series about aviation’s last frontier: aircraft delivery. It’s a high-risk business that kills dozens of pilots every year, and in this series we meet the mavericks that have the skill, courage, and are crazy enough to fly on these dangerous flights.
Each episode follows aviation brokers, pilots, and engineers as they hustle high-priced private aircraft to buyers all around the world, often flying unheard-of distances over areas where small aircraft are not meant to fly.
From far-aloft adventure, to high-pressure human conflict, to ingenious tech, Dangerous Flights is a series where the mortal risk is always real.

Each episode follows a selection of jobs from start to end, showcasing all of the suspense, drama, tragedy and humour involved.

MURDER IN THE OUTBACK: THE FALCONIO AND LEES MYSTERY
Channel premiere.
Sundays at 20:00, from 5th until 26th December.
The Peter Falconio Case is a story that just won’t be put to rest. For some experts and onlookers, the guilty verdict in Bradley Murdoch’s murder trial still feels clouded with doubt. They are left with an uneasy feeling that there was a lot more to what happened in the remote Australian outback on the night of Falconio’s disappearance.
This was no open and shut case. Too many questions, doubts, grey areas have left the door ajar. Inconsistencies and forensic question marks abound, and some key leads have laid unfollowed all this time, waiting for new investigators to pick up the thread. The Falconio case haunts lives of those it touched. Some are fractured by the notoriety, others have become obsessed with chasing the truth. But what is the truth in this story? After 18 years it’s time for a re-examination.
As one of journalists who covered the case says, “I always thought there was another chapter waiting to be written.” This series is that chapter. The series will hear the stories of the individuals affected by this event and will use new and exclusive access to the original defence case documents to re-examine the evidence put forward at the trial.
UNMASKING A KILLER

Through five one-hour episodes, Unmasking A Killer takes an in-depth look at the manhunt, patterns, escape methods and mind games of the Golden State Killer, raising a key to catching the criminal – potentially linking him to another series of unsolved crimes. Interviews with investigators, law enforcement and victims, who have never spoken out publicly, offer information to help solve the mystery of a man who has managed to fly successfully under the radar for decades.
