West Highland Way
Featuring the gruelling West Highland Way race from Milngavie on the outskirts of Glasgow to Fort William. This popular 95-mile route takes most walkers a week to complete, but every year over 100 hardy competitors turn Scotland's first official long-distance walk into a marathon, with the fastest racers covering it in around 16 hours.
Corrieyairack Challenge
The Adventure Show is in the heart of the Highlands for the Corrieyairack Challenge. This gruelling 43-mile race starts with a 17-mile run following in the footsteps of Bonnie Prince Charlie over the Monadhliath Mountains. Once down the other side, the competitors leap onto their bikes for a 26-mile dash along single track roads to the end of the race in the Cairngorms.

Strathpuffer 24
In the middle of winter, with 17 hours of darkness, nearly 500 competitors head north of Inverness for one of the world's hardest mountain bike races - the Strathpuffer 24-hour marathon. This year Dougie Vipond has teamed up with mountaineer Mark Diggins to take on this toughest of challenges. For weeks, the track has been submerged under snow and now as the thaw sets in, it has been compacted down to ice. This promises to be one of the hardest Puffers yet.
Night Orienteering
The outdoor pursuits programme joins some of Britain's top athletes in the Pentland Hills for an event that combines speed, stamina, concentration and navigation against the clock. Orienteering is a tough mental and physical challenge, and to make it even harder for the competitors this British Championship event takes place at night.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!

Now, surrounded by rookies twenty years his junior, Nolan must navigate the dangerous, humorous and unpredictable world of a "young" cop, determined to make his second shot at life count.

And there's the Intelligence Unit, the team that combats the city's major offenses - organized crime, drug trafficking, high profile murders and beyond. These are their stories.
Abbott Elementary
In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers — and a slightly tone-deaf principal — are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do — even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.
