From the skyscrapers of Shanghai to the mountainous peaks of "The Last Shangri-La", explore the breathtaking landscape of this incredible country and connect with the people that infuse China's everyday life with flavor, passion and prosperity. Through the eyes of a cultural academic, a laborer, an architect, an urban planner, and a photographer, the grand evolution of a little fishing village is illustrated and documented to reveal one of the fastest growing megacities in the world. And while the physical landscape gracefully moves towards the future, beliefs, behaviors, and practices are put into test. The changes brought by the Thirty Year Miracle are indeed immense, and it has left no stone, no life, unturned.

Alien Invaders is a documentary special that throws three young, but experienced, hosts into the world of invasive species of animals, fish, birds, insects, viruses and plants to create television mayhem. The show looks at invasions of aggressive non-indigenous animals around the world. Pacific lionfish are eating their way through the Caribbean, Burmese pythons are infesting the Everglades, African killer bees have worked their way north from Brazil to Utah, Asian carp are now swimming in the millions from New Orleans to Chicago. These and many other "alien invaders" are the villains (and stars!) of our show.

In this episode we get exclusive access to the secretive monasteries of Mount Athos where gastronomer Charlie Ottley discovers a medieval landscape, still unchanged after hundreds of years and picks up a great recipe for squid from one of the monks. We also venture deep into the mountains of Epirus where Charlie explores ancient villages and takes a white water rafting trip through some of the most spectacular gorges in Europe.

Join us for a romp around Greece’s West coast starting with the Mediterranean’s biggest carnival, held annually in the city of Patras. Next it’s more celebrations as Charlie gets mixed up in one of the strangest festivals in Greece before heading off to the port of Lefkas where we charter a yacht and set sail for the Ionian Islands and a quest for the mythical palace of Greece’s greatest mortal hero, Odysseus.
