Armed with sparse equipment, Audel will see if he has what it takes to survive.
Death in the Outback
Survival expert Hazen Audel retraces the incredible journey of four American airmen left stranded in Australia's remote Gulf Country after an ill-fated bombing mission during World War II. Audel follows their desperate passage through one of the most isolated places on Earth, as they navigated a brutal environment of deadly snakes, man-eating crocs and searing heat, in a heroic attempt to get back to base.
Frozen Nazi Escape
Hazen Audel braves the largest mountain plateau in Europe to retrace the escape of Norwegian commandos who thwarted Hitler's creation of an atomic bomb during World War II. Audel follows their journey across Norway's frozen peaks - encountering dangerous, frigid weather. Equipped with only the rudimentary equipment the commandos had, he will push himself to the limits of human endurance.
Desert Island Manhunt
Survival expert Hazen Audel is in the Solomons, a far-flung chain of Pacific islands, to retrace the 43-day survival journey of Lt. Hugh Miller. Shipwrecked during World War II, Miller faced off against shark-infested waters, miles of thick jungle and a Japanese enemy determined to hunt him down. Armed with the same equipment, Audel puts himself and his bushcraft skills to the ultimate test.
Death Railway Escape
Hazen Audel battles the jungles of Thailand, mirroring the escape of 10 prisoners from a brutal Japanese labor camp along the Thai-Burma "Death" Railway during World War II. Armed with only the supplies the prisoners had, he must travel over 25 miles through Thailand's dangerous mountain rainforests to reach a small town on the Thai-Burmese border.
Nazi Island Manhunt
Survival expert Hazen Audel retraces the epic journey of escaped prisoner of war Dudley Perkins - a New Zealander who evaded capture on the Nazi-occupied Mediterranean island of Crete for more than a year. Hazen follows in Dudley's footsteps through freezing mountains, treacherous gorges and sea-battered coastlines to experience what it takes to survive in this harsh environment and get out alive.

Amandaland
Following three series of the Merman-produced, BAFTA award-winning series Motherland, a brand-new spin-off, Amandaland, is coming to the BBC, focused on Amanda.
Post her divorce, Amanda has had to downsize and up sticks to South Harlesden, or as the Estate Agent calls it SoHa (definitely not the area around Wormwood Scrubs prison).
With both Manus and Georgie now at secondary school, Amanda has to try and get her head around raising teenagers, dealing with modern motherhood horrors like teenage drinking, fake Instagram accounts and eco anxiety. Not even a woman as certain of her parenting as Amanda can deal with these nightmares alone.
Then there's Amanda's mother Felicity who is constantly around, and completely in denial that she is, in fact, lonely. Theirs is a slightly unhealthy co-dependent relationship based on backhanded compliments and veiled snipes about her new home.
After a brief spell of freedom, Anne is sucked back into being Amanda's minion to help her navigate the social scene with the other parents at the children's new school. Thank God for Anne.
