Season 5Episode 130 min

Shipwrecked

The Rough Scientists are sent to a nearby wreck which offers a whole new artificial habitat for plants and fish. As in every programme the team are set three challenges. Firstly, Jonathan will need to design and build a submersible, remote-controlled rover to send back pictures from the sea-bed; Kathy’s challenge is to work out how to reach the wreck at low tide, when it will be most visible; while Ellen and Mike have to figure out how to purify the team’s water supply.

Lost at Sea

Call of the Wild
Season 5Episode 330 min

Call of the Wild

The waters around Zanzibar are teeming with life and they are surprisingly noisy. The team’s challenge this week is to eavesdrop on the underwater sounds of the reef to discover what is making all the noise. Jonathan and Mike will work together to construct a hydrophone – an underwater listening device. Kathy has to build a contraption that will allow them to see under the water. Meanwhile, Ellen has to fend off some of the island’s less desirable wildlife – mosquitoes.

The Reef

This week the scientists are set their most environmentally friendly challenge yet – to protect a coral reef. The reef is home to over 400 species of tropical fish and 200 types of coral. However, it’s under threat from passing boats and the team are challenged to invent a system that can alert approaching boats that they are entering a protected area. The team come up with a quite unique solution – possibly the world’s first coral reef burglar alarm!

Beneath the Waves
Season 5Episode 630 min

Beneath the Waves

It’s the final challenge and perhaps the most dangerous yet. The scientists have to make a SCUBA device so that Kate can descend safely to the seabed some 5m down. It has to be sophisticated enough to supply her with breathable air at the right pressure, while giving her the freedom and time to explore beneath the waves. They only have access to the simplest tools and materials, however, and Kate has to put her trust in the team to get their Rough Science spot on this time. There can be no room for error.

Beyond the Gates

Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
