Brit Karl Pilkington has led a sheltered life. Not having done any traveling, he enjoys living within the comforts of what he knows, basically that being what is purely British. As such, his friends, Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, decide to send Karl to various parts of the world to experience unfamiliar cultures. Stephen believes that travel is a life broadening venture, and hopes that Karl will indeed feel like his life is enriched by these travels. Ricky, however, hopes that Karl will hate every minute of his travels. For Ricky, this experiment is the most expensive gag for his own pleasure that he could have conceived.

World-famous meteorite hunter Steve Arnold and science writer and owner of Aerolite Meteorites Geoff Notkin team up to hunt for the Earth's most elusive treasure which, incidentally, is not from our world - meteorites.

Karl is faced with the different aspects of life by travelling around the world and discovering how different people face life's challenges.

Richard Hammond's BIG. sees him go behind-the-scenes of the largest structures and machines in the world to gain insight into the science of 'big'. Richard will investigate how engineers go about building, maintaining and using these superstructures. With each episode comes a new location and mega structure, which takes him around the globe exploring the likes of the world's longest underground railway tunnel to a cargo ship the size of four football pitches. Richard will meet the unsung heroes behind their development and delve into the science needed to create them via a series of incredible experiments, proving that it's the tiny that makes the truly massive possible.
