These modern day explorers and long-term travellers have all faced challenges and have fascinating stories to tell. This series is about the expats - the true heroes of the show - and they are just a sampling of the ever-increasing number of people who choose to pick up their entire lives and move abroad. Following in the success of its inaugural season, this innovative program is back with 12 new episodes that push the envelope of what anyone could ever have dreamed.

Britain's Scenic Railways

From busy cities to rural communities, 24,000 trains cross Britain every day, traveling some 10,000 miles. The rail network is continually growing as new track is laid and old sections of the line are brought back to life. Britain is also home to over a hundred heritage railways that welcome millions of visitors each year, to celebrate a bygone era of steam. The chance to ride on a steam train – to experience the sights, the sounds and the smells – is something that still resonates deep within us. We meet the railway workers, volunteers and travellers who share their experiences of Britain’s most scenic railways with both warmth and humour.

Dances With Cranes

DANCES WITH CRANES follows the incredible journey of the whooping crane, one of the world’s rarest and most ancient birds, predating humans by tens of thousands of years. Once nearly extinct, with fewer than 20 remaining in the 1940s, these majestic creatures are still fighting for survival. This film explores the remarkable efforts of scientists who will go to any length to save them—whether performing mating dances or jumping from helicopters to study them in the wild. Over the course of a year in the life of three whooping crane chicks, we witness the challenges of bringing a species back from the brink of extinction, from the early conservation efforts to new threats posed by climate change. DANCES WITH CRANES tells a story of resilience, dedication, and the fight to protect an ancient species.

The Machine That Feels

Scientists see AI technology as an opportunity to address inequities and make a better, more connected world. But it also has the capacity to do the opposite: to stoke division and inequality and disconnect us from fellow humans. THE MACHINE THAT FEELS shows viewers what they need to know about a field that is advancing at a dizzying pace, often away from the public eye. What does it mean when AI makes art? How is it possible that AI creates sophisticated neural networks that mimic the human brain? Can AI interpret and understand human emotions and what does it mean to be human in a world filled with machines that feel? This special seeks to answer and investigate these questions, and more.
