NEW SERIES
Ice Road Truckers 3Premiered: Thursday 5 November 2009 at 20h30
The Ice Road Truckers are back in a new third season, with a mixture of old and new faces like ‘Big Daddy’, Lisa the ‘tomboy’ Kelly and the ‘Shock Jock’ Alex Debogorski, who nearly lost his life on the ice roads last season.
Battling unexpected weather, virtual whiteouts and treacherous terrain, this is by far the most death defying route to date for these truckers, as they have less than three months to get their freight across four hundred miles in Northern Alaska.
Ax Men 2Premiered: Thursday, 5 November 2009 at 21h25
The Ax Men prepare for a new logging season. To survive, they must escape falling trees and bone-crushing machines. Can JM Browning's crew pull the most logs again?
