Episodes
Highlander Mountain Marathon
The Highlander Mountain Marathon sees 300 runners head into the remote, wild lands of Torridon. For two days the competitors race over the hills carrying everything they need to survive - and they don't know where the race will take them by the end.
Fort William Mountain Biking
This month The Adventure Show is at the spiritual home of Scottish mountain biking - Fort William - for the 2012 World Cup and there's no shortage of action. First there's the fast and furious 4 Cross. Then we'll be heading to the top of Nevis range for the downhill, where the racers plummet 555 metres down one of the longest and toughest courses on the world cup circuit.
Goatfell Race
The Adventure Show travels to Arran for the Goatfell Race. This is a closely fought hill run, 15 kilometres up and down the island's highest mountain. It's a challenging course leading from road to rough hill track and finally a scramble up huge granite boulders to reach the dramatic summit. Then there's a tricky descent and the final sprint to Brodick.
Snow Road Audax
In this month's Adventure Show, Dougie Vipond joins the hardiest of bikers for one of the toughest events in the cycling calendar. The Snow Roads Audax is aptly named: it's a 300-kilometre bike ride with nearly 5,000 metres of ascent over some of Scotland's steepest hills - those high passes, like the Lecht and Glenshee, which are often snowbound in winter.
The Celtman
In this month's Adventure Show travels to Torridon for the inaugural Celtman Extreme Scottish Triathlon. And extreme is the word: starting with a three-kilometre open-water swim, followed by over 200 kilometres of biking, and the finale is a 42-kilometre run, with an ascent of one of Scotland's Munros thrown in for good measure. It has been described as one of the hardest days of your life and for most just finishing is a major achievement. Little wonder the Celtman has just won the British Triathlon Event of the Year.
Episode 6
In an exceptionally ambitious programme, Dougie Vipond joins rock athletes Dave MacLeod and Tim Emmett as they attempt a first ascent of an extreme new route.
Strathpuffer 24
In the middle of winter, with 17 hours of darkness, 500 competitors head north of Inverness for one of the world's toughest mountain bike races, the Strathpuffer 24-hour marathon. And once again, this year conditions are testing - with ice and mud pushing the competitors and their bikes to the very limit.
Mountain Rescue
This year is the fiftieth anniversary of the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue Team, and in that time they have attended over 3,000 incidents. In what has been their busiest winter for 30 years, the Adventure Show has had unprecedented access to the team's 42 members who go out, whatever the weather, to help those in danger.

Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service
Restaurateurs who are looking for a quick fix or social media glow-up are in for the surprise of their lives when famed culinary titan Gordon Ramsay trades his signature chef knives for a state-of-the-art surveillance vehicle and cutting-edge spyware in FOX's all-new unscripted series, Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service. In a Gordon Ramsay series first, Chef Ramsay will venture into struggling restaurants under the cover of night. With the help of a secret source on the inside, he'll gather raw, unfiltered evidence and get a 360-degree view of the major issues facing each restaurant. This insider will not only remain a secret to the staff, but will also help Ramsay infiltrate the restaurant after-hours for a dramatic nighttime black light kitchen investigation that reveals more filth and grossness than ever before. By the time Ramsay reveals his identity, it will be too late for staff to cover up their culinary crimes. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service will be his toughest assignment yet as he takes drastic measures to transform not only the restaurant but also the staff, because Gordon knows he can upgrade the menu and renovate the restaurant, but the most important change has to come from the people. Are the restaurant and staff willing to accept Gordon's mission, or are they too far gone to be saved?
