剧情简介

From the remote islands of Alaska to Louisiana’s gator-filled swamps, nine Ax Men teams once again face death-defying challenges in the series’ fifth season. Via 20 one-hour episodes, HISTORY showcases America’s loggers ranging from charismatic Montana cowboys to the reigning Papac champs, each packing their own agenda for a sweet taste of that million-dollar green gold. Embarking on the toughest season of their careers, this year’s crews attempt to conquer Mother Nature, themselves and the impossible in a race promising only explosive results.

分集介绍

Ax is Back

Steep cliffs and skyline/rigging problems provoke Coatsy, Papac’s site boss, into assaulting a landing man at an unforgiving job site; the Rygaard crew plows into a blowdown site choked with years’ worth of fallen trees and loose rocks; Shelby scouts the bayou to find logs for Swamp Man, but a boating accident puts his assistant out of action; using a 30-year-old yarder that has been out of service for years, Big Gun starts into its first job only to have an anchor line break; Jimmy and James argue their way to a new stretch of the Suwannee, then bet the S&S boat against Uncle Buck’s on a season-long logging contest.

Damage Control

Mike Pihl puts pressure on Big Gun to get back on schedule after the yarder line break, and sends his son Danny to help out; after Jimmy leaves James on the banks of the Suwannee, Jimmy works alone to find logs for S&S and Uncle Buck picks James up; Swamp Man tears up a client’s boat dock while trying to pull a fallen log away from it, leading Shelby to fire his newly hired assistant; Mike Papac re-hires Joe, a former hook tender and rival of Coatsy, to help defuse the tension between Coatsy and the Papac crew; Gabe accidentally drops a tree on Dave’s truck while showing him how to cut trees for Rygaard.

No Pain, No Gain

With a newly hired assistant, Nikki, S&S makes a $500 bet against Uncle Buck for the most logs found in one day; Shelby and his wife call in backup to fill special Swamp Man orders so they can pay hospital and repair bills; as Big Gun fights a yarder breakdown and Danny starts to work, Levi visits the hospital and learns that he may have contracted tuberculosis; on his first shift as Rygaard’s rigging slinger, Dave sends a wrong signal that leads to a smashed chainsaw; under pressure from Coatsy to keep up with the yarder’s pace, a chaser on the Papac landing slips and injures his leg and back.

Hell Hole

An injury sends Swamp Man’s latest assistant to the hospital and leaves Shelby to cut his way to a massive tree alone; Nikki voices her growing distaste for Jimmy and her doubts about S&S’ ability to find logs so she can be paid; Swilley gets lost in an underwater cavern while hunting logs for Uncle Buck; Coatsy is forced to put Joe on yarder duty after the regular operator storms off the Papac site; Big Gun’s communication system develops problems that lead to a dropped skyline carriage and a broken chainsaw; after Dave is nearly hit by a log on the Rygaard landing, he tries to leave but is called back by Gabe to help with a risky skyline move.

Cowboy Up

Shelby calls in a group of voodoo practitioners to dispel a curse he believes is on the Swamp Man boat, then targets a huge cypress stump; Levi returns to help Big Gun finish out its current job, but a snapped cable forces the crew to improvise a solution; as the Rygaard crew works a site with clifftop landing in thick fog, near-miss accidents and a wrecked truck set the crew on edge; Siderius Logging gets a fast but risky start on its biggest job to date in Montana’s Rocky Mountains; Nikki gets fed up with S&S and leaves, while Uncle Buck trawls shallow waters in search of easy logs.

Horse relies on a pulling team to bring down a dangerous leaner. (First episode of the season to feature H.H. Horse Logging.)

Up in Smoke

When the S&S/Uncle Buck logging contest ends in a tie, the crews extend it for one more day and start playing dirty; Swamp Man finds more logs from the sunken raft, then has to muscle them back to shore for a meeting with the buyer; Ryan’s use of the wrong fuel temporarily disables Big Gun’s powerful carriage and stalls their drive to finish the current job; Siderius celebrates the end of their job and season after Jesse helps with a cable repair to bring in one last, giant log; Sam returns to help Wheeler finish out the competition as Willett dynamites a fallen tree blocking the oxen’s path; although Willett wins, the two crews decide to work together on future jobs.

Betting It All

As a fill-in loader operator struggles to move logs on the Rygaard landing, the crew gets fed up with Dave’s slow pace; Coatsy splits the Papac rigging crew to speed up production, but a tumbling log rattles Joe so badly that he walks off; the Swamp Man buyer, eager to have the rest of the missing log raft, calls in a helicopter pilot to help Shelby search for it; Uncle Buck relies on two divers and a damaged winch during sudden death, while Jimmy resumes arguing with James and fires him from S&S; the day again ends in a tie, so the crews decide to settle their wager with a log buyer’s appraisal.

One Weak Link

The Pihl crew struggles to bring enormous trees up to the landing; S&S faces mechanical trouble on the barge and near-freezing water temperatures in the river; Conner’s business hinges on how quickly Steve, its junior pilot, can get used to flying the helicopter; Brad’s inexperience earns Craig’s wrath and leads to an injury at the Rygaard site, after which he walks off the job.

剧情简介

Explore the past and present of the rough-and-tumble logging industry in the first ever nonfiction series about the treacherous life of Pacific Northwest timber cutters, AX MEN.

For more than a hundred years, larger-than-life characters, many of whom are members of logging families that go back to the time when the West was being settled, have spent their days among towering trees and powerful machines and their nights in outposts far from the comforts of civilization. Snapped cables, runaway logs and treacherous machinery are among the many dangers that threaten their lives and safety today. Follow four logging crews through a season in the remote forests of northwest Oregon and see how, plagued by mechanical failures, relentless weather and violent and unpredictable terrain, these men risk their lives every day in a constant struggle of man versus nature.

分集介绍

Man vs. Mountain

Deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest, rugged men make their living doing one of the deadliest jobs in the world. Their mission is to retrieve timber on mountainsides too steep to access with machines, but it’s no easy task. Plagued by mechanical failures, relentless weather, and unpredictable terrain, these brave men risk their lives retrieving the timber with which we built our country.

Risk and Reward

Just days into the fall logging season, the Ax Men are already being put to the test. J.M. Browning races to meet a big deadline. Stump Branch Logging tempts fate by jury-rigging their old equipment. The Gustafson Company races mother nature as they attempt to build a road to access their logging site.

Storm Season Strikes

As a storm closes in on the Oregon coast, the Ax Men race to stay one step ahead. Jesse continues to push the J.M. Browning crew to meet its looming deadline, while muddy roads trap trucks on their way to the Stump Branch site. Robby battles for control of the Gustafson crew. Pihl Logging feels the effects of the slumping lumber market.

The Big Hit

Across Northwest Oregon, the Ax Men continue to grind it out. Storm season arrived with a vengeance shutting some crews down while others struggled to stay afloat. Now a bigger storm is brewing. The stalled housing market’s effects are hitting the Ax Men hard. Jobs will be shut down; men will be put out of work. This week, the housing market hits home on “Ax Men”.

Market Meltdown

The Ax Men are reeling from the news of upcoming layoffs. While Gustafson Logging tries to get back on track, Browning races to meet a big deadline. Pihl Logging is now under the gun to finish their Pig Farm job, and to find more work. Despite Melvin’s best efforts to keep up with his old equipment, Stump Branch loses one of its most important machines.

Reversal of Fortune

Logging giants throughout Oregon are falling. Two of the biggest - J.M. Browning and Gustafson Logging - are fighting to survive. Jay Browning, usually flush with lucrative deals, is forced to make tough decisions. Gustafson Logging is down but not out. Smaller outfits, like Stump Branch and Pihl, find winning strategies in their young leaders.

The Close Call

The season is halfway through, and the gap between winners and losers is widening. Stump Branch tests a new but more dangerous logging strategy… and it poses great danger to the men in the rigging. The Pihl men play while the bosses are away. Browning Logging is a team divided.

Loggers Under Fire

In the wake of the plummeting logging market, the Ax Men are barely surviving. The Gustafson bosses have a close call while taking over for their laid-off crew. An old hook tender returns to the Browning team, stopping Jesse’s ascension to company management. Pihl loses a crucial member of the team as it struggles to finish Pig Farm.

A Logger’s Thanksgiving

As Thanksgiving arrives, some loggers have more to be thankful for than others. Winter weather strikes and the men of Pihl lose one man after another to illness. While bosses toil away at Gustafson, younger crew members blow off steam. The season’s first snow is a warning of things to come for the Stump Branch crew. The Browning gang is back together, but Jay is forced to ax some of his staff.

Black Friday

Thanksgiving is over, but the return to work brings more trouble for the Ax Men. Back from a devastating two-week layoff, the Gustafson crew now faces a nearly impossible deadline. As the deadline at Pig Farm approaches, half of the Pihl crew skips work, leaving greenhorn Cody to pick up the slack.

Storm of the Century

The town of Vernonia is declared a disaster area as the worst storm in 25 years pounds the Oregon coast. Members of Pihl and Stump Branch are forced to flee. Jay Browning can’t be found. Darrell must act fast to save his house from falling trees as the town of Astoria descends into a blackout. The future of the logging industry is in jeopardy.

The Toughest Season

History takes a look back at this extraordinary season of Ax Men.

Picking Up the Pieces

The Ax Men are ready to get back to work and put the storm behind them, but it’s easier said than done. As Gustafson returns to work, Darrell makes a startling discovery that could mean the end for the Challenge job. The Stump Branch crew must figure out a Plan B and find missing greenhorn Michael. Still without phone service, Jay Browning struggles to gather his troops.

The Final Haul

As logging’s toughest season winds down, the battle is far from over. J.M. Browning continues to fall from glory, leaving Jesse to question the future of his family’s business. The Gustafson crew returns to the Challenge, but rumors of a final pullout abound. The Pihl crew wraps Beaver and celebrates a successful year, and one member of the Stump Branch crew announces that he will not return.

剧情简介

本纪录片讲述了因诽谤诉讼案件的引起的感情和经济代价，节目共介绍了近两年内发生的十二起相关案件。这些相关诉讼不仅牵涉到各色名人，也关系到媒体巨擘。节目不仅关注了记者和科学家关于公共卫生和法律改革的见解，同时也没有忽视勇敢揭露社会现象阴暗面的广大公众们。

分集介绍

Episode 1

Just as quickly as papers rush to press with the latest celebrity sex scandal or expose, lawyers are scrambling to court to either try and stop the stories appearing, or to set the record straight when the damage is out there.

But just what goes on in the normally notoriously private world of a libel or privacy battle, and how easy is it to clear your name, restore your reputation or defend yourself against things that have been said?

Recent actions have seen everyone from the Beckhams to Max Mosley sue over things they did or didn’t do, and legal costs and damages reach hundreds of thousands. But is the fight always worth it, and is it just the rich and famous with the money and means that get to do battle?

Through extraordinary and unprecedented access inside Britain’s biggest law firms, we follow 12 very different cases as they unfold over the course of 2 years.

Charting the emotional and financial toll a libel action can bring to both sides, claimants and defendants, we follow high-profile figures and serial suers like Uri Geller, Danielle Lloyd and George Galloway as they take on papers and companies alike. We also see journalists and scientists fighting over important public health matters and championing libel reform, as well as very ordinary people risking everything when they feel someone’s got their story very wrong.

In this episode, we follow Lembit Opik as he tries to take on the press after considering that his cheeky boy reputation may have cost him his seat in the last election; and Sheryl Gascoigne finally decides, after years of being told it was best to say nothing, that it is time to hit back.

Episode 2

Two controversial characters fight back over negative articles and comments which they believe create a false impression of themselves, fuelling hate mail and death threats for both.

Uri Geller pursues Britain’s biggest tabloid and an American television network over allegations about his relationship with Michael Jackson. Geller finds the Americans, with their first amendment rights to free speech, a particularly challenging nut to crack.

Plus, former Metropolitan Police Commander Ali Dizaei questions whether repeated negative articles about him were always entirely fair and accurate.

Episode 3

Through extraordinary access inside Britain’s biggest law firms, we follow the legal twists and turns of a number of libel and privacy battles as they unfold over the course of two years.

It’s normally a world that’s notoriously private, but across the series we get the inside spin on each case as well as the drama and human stories behind them. What prompts a person to sue or defend themselves in an action and how easy it is to clear your name or set the record straight when you think you’ve been wronged? Also, in a world where lawyers don’t come cheap and damages may be small, if indeed you get them, is it just the wealthy that get to do battle and is it always worth it in the end?

Charting the emotional and financial toll to both claimants and defendants, we follow high profile faces as well as very ordinary people risking everything to try and put things right.

In this episode, we follow two claimants as they take on much bigger and wealthier opponents in almost David v Goliath-type battles.

Richard Donovan, an ultra marathon runner and businessman who organises extreme running events and adventures, takes on Forbes magazine after they wrote what he felt was a damning and inaccurate portrayal of his North Pole marathon. We also see a small north London mosque take on a large right-wing think tank after they published a report saying the mosque had sold extremist literature.

Episode 4

As quickly as papers rush to press with the latest celebrity sex scandal or expose, lawyers are scrambling to court to either try and stop the stories appearing or to set the record straight when the damage is done.

But what goes on in the normally very private world of a libel battle, and just how easy is it to clear your name, restore a reputation or defend yourself against things said?

Is the fight always worth it, and is it just the rich and famous with the money and means that get to do battle? Through extraordinary access inside Britain’s biggest law firms, we follow the legal twists and turns of a number of libel and privacy battles as they play out over the course of 2 years, charting the emotional and financial toll on claimants and defendants

Episode 5

This episode explores a new and burgeoning area of law involving privacy. Cameras follow controversial and outspoken former MP George Galloway as he takes on the News of The World over phone hacking claims, in one of the biggest scandals to rock the British press in recent years.

We also follow model Danielle Lloyd when she does battle with Carphone Warehouse after she finds out extremely private pictures were stolen from her mobile phone and touted around the papers for thousands of pounds.

Episode 6

This episode finds out how a young Tamil refugee is able to fight for his reputation despite having no money to do so.

Once hailed as a hero in his community after he embarked on a lengthy hunger strike to highlight the civil war in Sri Lanka, he then went to zero and even received death threats after two of Britain’s biggest tabloids said he’d faked it all by secretly eating burgers.

With the help of Britain’s biggest libel firm in his corner, we follow his fight back.

影片内容介绍

剧情简介

Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer advise viewers on how to get the most out of their holidays as the pair visit a wide range of destinations - but on very different budgets!

分集介绍

Ibiza

The first programme in the series features Ibiza. A Mediterranean hotspot for over two million tourists a year, Ibiza was first claimed by the hippies and then taken over by the ravers. Phil has been holidaying there for years: first as a backpacker, and now as a family man, and he is a fully paid up member to the island’s fan club. However for Kirstie the mere thought of Ibiza, the clubbing capital of the world, fills her with dread. Can Phil convince Kirstie that Ibiza rivals other gems of the Med for holiday escapism?

Kirstie is charged with the budget break and seeing if Ibiza can be a charming getaway for a family. She picks a campsite on the north east coast in Cala Nova, just 50 yards from one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, from under £5 a night in a tent to around £50 for a bunglaow. She may not have an inner hippy, but once off the beaten track and after some horse riding along the beach, Kirstie starts to see the appeal of Ibiza for chilled out family escapes.

In contrast, Phil finally gets to dip his toe in the exclusive luxury of the Ibiza super-rich as he checks out a private suite at one of the island’s most exclusive hotels.

Kirstie is convinced that Ibiza is just expensive because the stars go there to party. But can a private pool, power boat trip to a remote beach with a champagne picnic, and an exquisite tasting menu back at the hotel prove to Kirstie that the Balearic island’s glamorous reputation is worth the money?

Tuscany

Will Kirstie and Phil fall for the rustic charm of the Tuscan hills, or the luxury of one of the most expensive hotels in Florence? The Italian countryside attracts around 40 million tourists every year, and away from the packed-out coastal resorts there’s a great big slice of rural Tuscan life to be discovered.

Phil is in charge of their budget Tuscan break with £500 per person to spend. He opts to go off the beaten track to an agriturismo farm called La Baccane in the heart of the countryside. It is run by a family, for families, and is the very definition of rustic - 11 hectares complete with vines, olive groves and an orchard.

They are there to live off the farm at a bargain rate of £25 per night per person. It may be simple but there are plenty of added extras - such as free bike hire, a swimming pool, and dinner comes with a free cookery lesson using ingredients from the farm.

By complete contrast Kirstie takes Phil to Florence to dip into the world of luxury. Florence is one of the top three most-visited cities in Italy. They stay at Il Salviatino, where the top suites cost a staggering £2,000 a night. Initially blown away by the décor and stunning views, they start to wonder whether it is really worth all that cash.

Arguably the best and definitely the most expensive way to see the Tuscan hills is from the sky, with a helicopter wine tour across the Chianti region. With staggeringly beautiful scenery and delicious wine, this really is how the other half live. But unless you have money to burn, is it really worth it?

Kirstie and Phil pick their highlights from the trip and show how to have a taste of luxury Italian life without breaking the bank.

St Moritz

Kirstie visits a budget eco-hotel high up in St Moritz, and Phil hang-glides off the side of a mountain.

St Moritz is one of the UK’s favourite winter escapes. But the snow-capped playground for the rich and famous is not the most budget-friendly family resort. Kirstie tracks down an affordable holiday right in the heart of the season, including an amazing three miles of sledging and an all-you-can-eat fondue in an igloo.

Meanwhile Phil delivers up a luxury holiday including a personal ski guide and a room at the five-star Kempinski Grand Hotel right next door to the ski slopes.

Extreme-sports lover Phil also goes hang-gliding. But at £160 for a ten minute flight, is this expensive treat worth it?

Catalonia and the Maldives

Instead of picking just one destination Kirstie and Phil head for two, in search of the best romantic getaways.

Kirstie proves there is a way of doing a romantic holiday on a budget in Catalonia with £500 per person to spend.

But Phil thinks romance is all about getting away to a tropical island paradise like the Maldives.

Marrakech

Kirstie and Phil head to North Africa and the Moroccan city of Marrakech. From the spice of the souks to the charms of the old city, Marrakech has long been an exotic stop off for adventurous travellers.

Phil has visited Morocco before while backpacking, but for Kirstie it isn’t a destination high on her wish list. Will it win her over? She is in charge of their budget stay for under £500 per person. She has selected a traditional, gorgeous Marrakech guest house called a Riad for their stay. Riad des Epices is right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the souks and rooms are from £41 per person per night.

Phil’s `money’s no object’ break leads him to La Mamounia, a destination of pure indulgence, said to be described by Winston Churchill as the most lovely spot in the whole world. Offering an authentic Moroccan experience without having to leave the comfort of the hotel, with breathtaking views across the Atlas Mountains, the splendour of the suites are akin to any high end penthouse apartment.

City Breaks

Phil and Kirstie embark on a city break on a budget in Dubrovnik and a luxury weekend escape to Barcelona.

Phil is in charge of the duo’s trip to Dubrovnik for under £500 per person and declares it to be “one of the most beautiful cities” he’s ever visited.

Can the luxury of Barcelona, the city by the sea that has it all, steal back their hearts?

Outdoors

Kirstie and Phil take on the great outdoors as they try activity holidays in Morocco and Iceland.

Phil takes an adventure holiday on a budget in the Atlas mountains in Morocco. They stay at Chez Mamouchtkha and head down stream to try some white-water tubing, before getting on their quad bikes and exploring the mountains.

Then Kirstie shows Phil a good time in Reykjavik, where they stay at the luxurious Hotel Ranga and go snowmobiling across the spectacular landscape, before Phil fulfils a lifelong ambition to see the Northern Lights.

Boating

Kirstie and Phil check out holidays on the high seas.

First up is a boating escape along the beautiful Croatian coastline with the crew of the Katarina Line, including dinner at the captain’s table and snorkelling.

Then they check out how the other half cruise as they set sail around the Maldives on a journey featuring numerous water-sport adventures, including jet skiing and scuba diving.

剧情简介

“A maverick group of scientists is on a quest to defy mainstream science and prove that human history was rocked with catastrophic moments when space changed history.” This group of folks believe that comet strikes have happened many times on Earth. The episode particularly focuses on some Biblical events these guys believe were the result of these comet strikes. The Noah flood is one of the prominent examples explored here. This stuff is pretty controversial and highly interpretive.
