This second season of Chop Shop joins Bernie and Leepu as they create cars for the stars undertaking celebrity commissions for some well-known faces in entertainment and sport.

Their subjects include French footballer David Ginola, former England rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio and musician and television personality Jools Holland.

Their first supercar for a superstar is for Spandau Ballet pop icon and British hard man actor Martin Kemp. They take a scrapped Saab and turn it into a turbo-charged gangster racing machine. But when they take it out for its first test drive, Martin finds that it is not just unfinished but unsafe.

With only three weeks before it has to be driven at the British GT event at Rockingham race track, will the boys be able to finish it in time and salvage the reputation of the Chop Shop?



American Chopper 5
Premiere date: Friday, 5 December at 22h00

The fifth season of AC follows the California Orange County Choppers (OCC), one of the leading custom motorbike garages in the world.

In their 28,291-square-metre facility which encompasses OCC’s garage, service centre, retail store, offices and display area, the team builds their incredible range of motorbikes.

The season watches the OCC lock and load as they pay tribute to the troops with a custom bike for the US Army National Guard. Catch them as they pack their gear and hike, yes, that’s right, hike - as one project involves a custom chopper for the outdoor lifestyle company Gander Mountain, inspiring the team to venture into the great outdoors to test their survival skills.



Chris Ryan's Elite Police
Premiere: Monday, 8 December 2008 at 22h00

Ex-SAS hero Chris Ryan goes inside some of the toughest, most sophisticated police forces around the world.

As an ex-SAS special operative, Chris knows a thing or two about combat and danger zones. This series goes into the thick of all the action with the elite forces of Poland, Kazakhstan, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Israel and Sri Lanka.

The officers are no strangers to dealing with a host of gritty and challenging situations from their gruelling training in order to face bullets, bombs and bloodshed at the hands of organised and violent criminals in the line of duty.



Nextworld
Premiere date: Saturday, 20 December 2008 at 19h00

Nextworld takes people deeper into the 21st century and beyond by introducing the visionaries, the science, the builders and the innovations that seem impossible now, but will be a reality in our lifetimes - cities under the oceans, bionic suits, space tourism, super speed trains, hoverbikes and experimental drugs that may extend lifespans to 150 years.

The show takes viewers inside the networked intelligence of tomorrow's urban transportation systems - from personal transit to stackable cars and underground automated highways.

Each episode provides an insight into the radical ideas of today that will become the technology of the future.



Fifth Gear Europe
Premiere date: 28 December 2008 at 21h00
