Ade at Sea - Season 1

Season 1

As an island nation, Britain's history and culture have been shaped by the sea. In this programme, comedian Ade Edmondson sets sail to explore the country's maritime past and the continued influence on people who still depend on the sea. Edmondson immerses himself in seafaring culture - from discovering the origin of the phrase shipshape to making rope with one of the last surviving rope makers - as he fulfils his lifelong dream of sailing around the British Isles and the world. On his voyage, the comedian pilots a tanker through the Bristol Channel, sings sea shanties in Liverpool Bay and participates in modern deep sea fishing among other activities.

The Real Housewives of Potomac

Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. The Real Housewives of Potomac follows the upscale lives of six intriguing, well-to-do women: Gizelle Bryant, Katie Rost, Karen Huger, Charrisse Jackson-Jordan, Robyn Dixon, and Ashley Darby, all of whom have fought for their places in this society by way of legacy or marriage. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
