Peru, Sacrifices in the Kingdom of Chimor

TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Documentary, History

Peru, Sacrifices in the Kingdom of Chimor

An unprecedented archeological discovery of several hundreds of sacrificed children and llamas opens the gates to the Kingdom of Chimor set in today's Northern Peru.

Told as a cold case, this international archeological investigation is set to unveil the mysteries of the most powerful Andean civilization before the Incas, which thrived for over five centuries.

Along the northern coast of Peru, the remains of hundreds of children and young llamas have been found.

They all appear to have been sacrificed in the 15th century, during the Chimor civilization, the largest empire in the Andean Region before the arrival of the Incas and the Conquistadors.

It is an unprecedented discovery.

There is no scientific proof of another mass sacrifice of this nature and of such scale in any other civilization.

How and why were these sacrifices carried out?

An international and multi-disciplinary team of scientists is leading the investigation on site and in laboratories.

Peruvians, French and North Americans are working together to unveil the mysteries and misfortunes of the Kingdom of Chimor.

As the evidence builds up in this 'cold case', more and more leads are emerging...

By reconstructing the chain of events, we tell, from a unique angle, the extraordinary story of the Kingdom of Chimor, from its apogee to its fall...

Richard Hammond's Workshop 2

Channel: BritBox
TX Time: 00h01
Genre: Docu-Reality, Motoring

Richard Hammond's Workshop 2

Follows the daredevil TV presenter and legendary car buff as he launches his riskiest venture yet: a high-end restoration business for rare classic automobiles and motorbikes.

Hammond knows cars inside out. Business... not so much.

So, with his own money and reputation on the line, and with father-and-son master mechanics Neil and Anthony Greenhouse by his side, he's heading squarely out of his comfort zone and into the driver's seat amid tight deadlines, exacting customers and over-the-top automotive challenges.

The first season showed Hammond fulfilling a lifelong ambition of starting his restoration and repair workshop, The Smallest Cog, near his home in Herefordshire.

Striving to learn the business from the ground up, Richard teamed up with car "wonder family" Neil, Anthony and Andrew Greenhouse.

These all-new episodes will see the team get a crash course in racing and follow Richard as he tries to impress prospective clients at a high-end car event.

We'll also see Richard's wife, Mindy, investigate her husband's business management skills, leading to some tricky conversations.

Also, the dad-of-two will be taking on one of his biggest challenges yet as he tries to teach his daughter, Willow, how to drive.

Episode one sees Richard forced to deal with some unwelcome furry guests in his workshop and throwing himself into a classic car rally The Herefordshire Trials, where things get very muddy... and a little bit stuck.
 

Unefa!

Channel: Mzansi Wethu (DStv 163)
TX Time: 19h00
Genre: Reality

Unefa!

We all wish we had a rich aunt who left us a sizable family inheritance so we can get the financial boost we need to finally make ends meet - or simply level up and live comfortably for the rest of our lives.

This series follows the lives of South Africans who are surprised by the fact that they have an unclaimed inheritance.

The show's premise is created on the fact that every year many South Africans pass on, leaving their loved ones with the gift of an inheritance, but every year many South Africans miss their blessings and never receive that money.

This may be due to incorrect personal details (where their information was either wrongly logged or not updated) or the beneficiary is a minor at the time of death, resulting in payment where the money is held by the Guardian's Fund.

Others don't receive their funds for sneakier reasons, such as lack of transparency between family members.

The show will trace the relationship between the family and the deceased, while sharing the beneficiary's healing process.

Each episode culminates with their reaction during the moment of truth when the big surprise is revealed: that they will be receiving an inheritance.

Unefa! is hosted by Motlatsi Mafatshe.
 

Ancient Engineering 2

Channel: Curiosity Channel (DStv 185)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Documentary Series, History, Technology

Ancient Engineering 2

Ancient Engineering is back with 10 new episodes revealing the secrets of the early engineers who pioneered the techniques still in use today in buildings and monuments around the world.

Each standalone episode showcases one landmark engineering milestone – iconic achievements such as the building of the Colosseum, the invention of ships, or the construction of Angkor Wat in the Cambodian jungle.

Combining reconstruction with CGI and archive footage, we travel back in time to reveal the origins of each engineering accomplishment, explore the mysteries and legends surrounding them, and discover the 'brains' behind their invention.

Finally, we explore modern structures and engineering technologies inspired by these historical discoveries.

The modern world. Shaped and inspired by the work of ancient engineers.

In the Season 2 premiere, "Earliest Arenas: The Colosseum": Entertainment is a priority that comes shortly after food, water and shelter - bringing humans together in an escape from 'day-to-day life'.

Worldwide enthusiasm for recreation and sports has led to the creation of some of the grandest and most impressive buildings, including colossal stadiums, each with their own unique appearance.

The development and construction of each stadium is often a monumental challenge for the architects and engineers involved, as increasingly bold and elaborate designs continue to take shape across the world.

But stadiums are far from a recent phenomenon.

Since their earliest existence more than two and half thousand years ago, they have been regarded as engineering masterpieces, with one surpassing all others: the Colosseum.

A gigantic gladiator arena, and one of ancient Rome's greatest achievements.

TX Time: 16h15

Impossible

The quiz with the third dimension: as well as right answers and wrong answers there are also Impossible answers - they are not just wrong, they couldn't possibly be right.

A cast of 30 returning players compete for the chance to win £10,000.

Every right answer takes them a step closer to a shot at that jackpot - but a single 'Impossible' answer will knock them out for the day.

They'll have to try again tomorrow.

The winner claims a daily prize of up to £1,500 and faces one final question.

There are three correct answers - and if they can find them all, they will trigger a dramatic cascade of 10,000 pound coins.

But if any of their answers are 'Impossible', they lose the daily prize and win nothing.
