MISSION EVEREST WITH BEAR GRYLLS

Follow explorer Bear Grylls and his friend Gilo Cardozo as they prepare   to fly over the summit of Mount Everest. They will be strapped onto   flimsy paraglide chutes powered by backpack motors, or paramotors as   they are known to aficionados.

First, Gilo must single-handedly design and build a paramotor that   can go a full 3000 metres higher than any other engine, or indeed   paramotor, has gone before. Bear takes charge of their survival   strategy. The pair face temperatures of -40°C that will instantly freeze   exposed flesh, hurricane-force winds that threaten to dash them against   the mountain peaks, and very low levels of oxygen.

As the day of the flight approaches, they face the reality of the   challenge ahead and are beset with machine troubles, failed test flights   and a damaged engine. At his lowest ebb, Bear has some uncharacteristic   doubts: ‘I’d always planned this project to be ambitious but safe; the   bottom line is it’s ambitious but it’s not safe.’ Have the pair aimed   too high?

LETTERS AND NUMBERS – THE MASTERS

Embracing individuals who have a passion for puzzles, Letters and   Numbers aims to educate, inform and entertain. Hosted by Richard   Morecroft and assisted by Lily Serna and David Astle – each episode of   Letters and Numbers pits the lexical dexterity and mathematical agility   of contestants against each other, and the clock.

The point scoring begins with a letter round. Contestants take turns   to select a combination of nine random consonants and vowels. They must   then attempt to make the longest word possible using the nine letters.   Offered words will attract the attention of David Astle who will verify   the words and also point out any longer or interesting words hiding in   the selection. Points are awarded to the contestant with the longest   acceptable word.

Mental arithmetic then comes into play for the number rounds.   Contestants aim to meet a randomly selected target number with six   chosen numbers using a combination of addition, subtraction,   multiplication and division. Lily Serna will write up and verify the   offered solutions and also provide her own expert calculations. Points   are awarded to the contestant closest to the target number.

Finally the conundrum, a buzzer round where contestants vie to be   the first to solve a nine letter anagram. A winner is then declared who   will return the following day as the carry-over champion. No million   dollar prize is at stake, contestants play for glory and for the   prestigious title of grand champion at the end of the series.
