Richard Hammond's Big

In the world of engineering, size can be everything. And this series is going supersized as British motoring presenter and engineering enthusiast, Richard Hammond, embarks on a global adventure.

From the UK to Germany to the US, he's on a mission to explore the world's biggest structures and machines, going behind-the-scenes to understand the science of 'big' - how engineers go about building, maintaining and using these superstructures.

Each episode takes him to a new location and mega structure, where he meets the unsung heroes at the front line making them work and explores the science behind them with a series of experiments.

From the world's longest underground railway tunnel to a cargo ship the size of four football pitches, Richard immerses himself in some truly huge examples of engineering genius in action.

Young Sheldon 3

For young Sheldon Cooper, it isn't easy growing up in East Texas.

Being a once-in-a-generation mind capable of advanced mathematics and science isn't always helpful in a land where church and football are king.

And while the vulnerable, gifted and somewhat naïve Sheldon deals with the world, his very normal family must find a way to deal with him.

In the Season 3 premiere, "Quirky Eggheads and Texas Snow Globes": After Dr. Sturgis experiences a nervous breakdown, Mary worries Sheldon is headed down a similar path.

Also, Georgie discovers he has a knack for sales.

Frozen Islands

Sub-Antarctica, where the mightiest current on Earth flows uninterrupted around our planet and the winds blow incessantly eastward.

This vast and icy ocean is peppered by a scattering of tiny islands, inhospitable to man but crucial to the survival of millions of marine animals that are superbly adapted to life in the Southern Ocean and use these islands to breed: seals, penguins, albatross and Southern Right whales.

Life on these islands is not easy and sometimes it is deadly.

The world's greatest hunters, Killer Whales, hunt in the shallows of the islands.
