Episodes

Inches from Death
Senior Constable Dean Pickering is called to a nasty crash where two kids have stolen a car, with their reckless driving leading them to wrap the car around a tree. The driver is trapped in the car and as paramedics frantically try to free the boy, Constable Dean tries to work out just what these kids have been doing. Then, a driver is stopped in Epping for driving an unregistered car and it turns out to be no easy intercept.

Spiked Pursuit
The police are desperately trying to apprehend a female drink driver who has crashed a booze bus site. The speeding motorist just won't stop and with pursuing police unable to stop her, they decide to throw down stop sticks which should puncture all the offenders' car tyres. But it's a difficult and dangerous task on a dark, wet busy motorway.

Knife Attack
An innocent member of the public is attacked by a man with a knife, while walking home from work. When the offender is found, he leads officers on a frantic foot chase through the streets of Maribyrnong. Then, when a young man decides to drift, he picks the wrong time and the wrong man to do it in front of.

Street Revolt
Alcohol and testosterone can be an explosive combination and sure enough, things get well out of hand when a group of men gather to mourn their dead mate. Two young men decide to flaunt their illegally modified muscle car in front of two constables. A mother's attempt to teach her daughter to drive goes horribly wrong when the teenager drives smack, bang through the side of a house.

Blackout in Bendigo
When a Sergeant pulls over a vehicle on a dark night in Bendigo, his partner spots a weapon in the car. Two Senior Constables are dealing with a speeding car with bald tyres. But even worse, there's an unrestrained toddler sitting in the passenger footwell and a stroppy driver with some fanciful excuses. A young man pulled over is excited to recognise the officer from TV. But will he be so happy when he finds out what's in store for him?

Australia's Angriest Man
A traffic cop is used to abuse but when Senior Constable Russel Warner pulls over a driver, he gets a reaction like none other he's witnessed before. Senior Constable Jerome Murnane stops a car with two extremely stoned occupants. Not only are they wasted, with drugs inside their unregistered car, but Jerome's upset to learn they are driving around with a baby on board. Then, if you don't want attention from police, it pays not to drive past an officer, put your car in neutral and rev the life out of it

Unrestrained Rage
A traffic stop goes horribly wrong after a furious driver tries to attack the police.

Dicing With Death
Senior Constable Dean Pickering has seen a lot of young men die on the roads so he's enraged when he spots three carloads of teenagers racing each other and even worse, half climbing out of their vehicles at speed. Our best police officers rely on their gut instincts and Leading Senior Constable Mustafa Emin does just that when he spies a suspicious looking vehicle.

Smash and Dash
A man does a runner from the scene of a crash and when officers find him, it becomes clear why he wanted to evade police. Then, Police spot a car with stolen plates. The driver is homeless and sleeps in his car but it's what he cuddles up to that's the real concern. Then, officers are confronted with a naked driver and a car filled with porn and sex toys.

Drunk and Angry
Officers are on the end of a drunken man's anger and police are left to deal with a tempestuous two-year-old who is refusing to obey the law.

Car Crash Carnage
Officers attend to a car crash with a heavily pregnant victim. Then, police catch two speedsters simultaneously and the cars they're driving have to be seen to be believed. Meanwhile, Senior Constables spot a speeder going outrageously fast. All in a day's work for them but the outcome for the driver will affect him for months to come.

Argy Bargy
A man is trapped inside his vehicle when it smashes into a pole with fears of electrocution. Then, two drivers ignore a Constable's attempt to pull them over and a minor collision turns into a major argument.

Mountain Men
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live your life off the grid? Have you wished you could shed the complications of modern society and live in the wilderness, using only the things nature has provided? Meet Eustace Conway, Tom Oar and Marty Meierotto of the new History series Mountain Men, three men who have devoted their lives to survival in its simplest form. But how simple is it really for the Mountain Men?
From the rugged Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina to the seven-month-long winters on the Yaak River in Montana to the frigid northern range of Alaska, the country is full of some very unforgiving terrain. Watch as these men face off against mudslides, falling trees, ravaging weather and even hungry animals, to make sure they obtain the food and supplies they will need to make it through the brutal winter months ahead.

Forged in Fire
Forged in Fire features world-class bladesmiths competing against each other to create some of the most iconic edged weapons from history. In each episode, four of the best bladesmiths in the country will come together to put both their skills and reputations on the line. Whether they are making a Japanese katana, a medieval broadsword, or an ancient throwing blade like the chakram, the weapons they forge will be fully functional and lethal works of art and war. The unique histories contained within each weapon will be creatively told during the forging process and the final weapons themselves will be assessed and ruthlessly tested by our panel of expert judges. These dynamic and explosive tests will be individually designed to push the weapons to their absolute limit. One by one, the bladesmiths will be eliminated until only one remains to be crowned the champion.
