TREASURE QUEST Every Thursday at 9 pm, Premiering 10 March
TREASURE QUEST joins Odyssey Marine Exploration, a world leader in private deep-water exploration and recovery, on their most ambitious season of ship wreck hunting yet. Their challenge is to penetrate the mysteries of dozens of never-before-seen shipwrecks and bring to light their stories of untold riches, courageous men and women, tragic endings, and remarkable rescues. The series features Odyssey’s dramatic recent discovery of HMS Victory, the direct predecessor to Nelson’s flagship, lost in the English Channel in 1744 taking the 1000 crew on board. Believed to be one of Britain’s greatest historic shipwrecks, what happened to her has been a maritime mystery that has baffled experts for centuries – until now.
MIXER every Tuesday at 7 pm, premiering 15 March
There is a new creative energy sweeping the gastronomic scene. Designers, architects, photographers and artists in general are working with chefs to create masterpieces to admire, to understand and to savour. MIXER explores and deciphers the trends in culinary art and meets the creative talents in their work place all over the world.
GREEN PARADISE every Wednesday at 5 pm, premiering 16 March
Many people hear the words “eco-tourism” and cringe at the thought of sleeping in a shanty tree-house in the jungles of Palau or pitching a tent in the Moroccan dessert. However, there is no need to go to the extreme end of the green travel spectrum. You don’t need to sacrifice creature comforts or go off into the great unknown to be a green traveller; all that is required is an effort to preserve and protect the environment of the place you are visiting, which is a lot easier than it sounds. From Indonesia to the Dominican Republic, explore the most beautiful natural paradises in the world, preserved, thanks to the dedication of local populations. GREEN PARADISE tells us the story of devoted inhabitants who manage to benefit from sustainable tourism while conserving their traditional way of life.
