Eleven people, dropped in Canada’s remote wilderness, compete to survive for as long as possible… completely alone. With £100k to be won, who will be strong enough to cope with the harsh reality of the unforgiving terrain in the Dehcho region of Northwest Territories? Each dropped a minimum of one mile away from the other, and they have to film themselves, as they build shelters, hunt and try – not always successfully – to light fires. Launched on 6th August, it’s airing weekly.
Celebrating the quirks, charms and beauty of the Channel Islands, this new six-part series is proving a hit on Channel 5. Narrated by Alan Titchmarsh, episodes so far have included Jersey farmer Phil harvesting the season’s Jersey Royal Potatoes with a 100-year-old hand plough, a look behind the scenes at how traditional Guernsey jumpers are made, and asks if life really is a beach for caterer Mim Sarre, who runs a pizza oven van on Guernsey’s Cobo beach. Highlights to come include the celebrations for Liberation Day across the islands.
To call the Himalayas a melting pot is an understatement. Meandering for more than 2,000km through Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan, it’s where the world religions of Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism mix with ancient shamanic beliefs. In this book, the focus is on the communities, particularly the women, that call its valleys home, as Fatland takes us on an expedition through incredible landscapes
and dramatic, unknown histories.
The award-winning food writer explores the idea ‘we are what we eat’, travelling from Paris to Tokyo, Seville to Istanbul and learning along the way about the stratospheric rise of ramen, the legend of pizza and the complex legacy of multiculturalism in a meze feast. She finishes at home in Queens, New York, and reflects on food’s pivotal role in our identity.
