Am I Being Unreasonable?

A twisted comedy thriller about obsessive friendship, maternal paranoia – and a dead cat - in a warped tale about just how quickly lives can unravel.

Nic is lonely, bored in her depressing marriage and haunted by a huge secret. And now the family cat's gone missing.

Nic's tired of the small talk with her cleaner Viv and the bad sex she has with her husband Dan, and she's got no friends in the small village they live in.

Only her son, Ollie, who she adores, keeps her going, but she's definitely not looking forward to his school fete until new mum in town Jen joins her on the Splat a Rat stall.

Nic is thrilled when this kindred spirit invites herself round for drinks, but is Jen all she seems, and can Nic's secret stay a secret for much longer?

Race Across the World

If you were tasked to race across the world with limited cash and nothing in the way of modern technology, how do you think you'd fare?

This series will see five teams attempt just that.

Race Across The World takes you on the trip of a lifetime, following the contestants as they embark on an epic and adrenaline-fuelled adventure, travelling into the unknown without the trappings of modern life.

The five pairs set off on a race to Singapore without taking a single flight, leaving behind their smartphones, internet access and credit cards.

They are armed with only the cash equivalent of a one-way airfare to Singapore, the furthest destination by land and rail from the UK, to pay for the entire journey.

If they run out, they'll need to earn more.

In a competition that sees the teams travel through rather than fly over, their skill, ingenuity and determination will be tested to the extreme as they race through some of the world's most beautiful scenery, form bonds and friendships across cultural divides and rely on the kindness of strangers in order to stand the best chance of winning.

Expedition Unknown 8

Adventurer and avid explorer Josh Gates investigates the truth behind the world's most iconic and captivating legends in this globe-trotting series.

Josh's adventures take him around the world as he immerses himself in the core locations linked to each mystery.

Interviewing key eyewitnesses and uncovering recent developments in the story, Josh embarks on a fully immersive exploration to lead him closer to the truth behind these unanswered global enigmas.

Whatever the destination, every historical mystery is an adventure for Josh.

In the new season, he travels throughout five continents to dive into sunken tombs in Africa, reclaim stolen and looted statues in Cambodia, and discover a pirate's lost treasure in the frigid waters of the UK - with one excursion giving him the most terrifying moments of his career.

In a two-part investigation, Josh travels to the Royal Necropolis of Nuri to investigate alongside archaeologists on the verge of a potentially groundbreaking discovery.

Beneath a crumbling pyramid, there may be an undisturbed royal tomb preserved in the darkness of flooded, subterranean chambers.

A treacherous dive is the only way to chase a monumental find: the mummified remains of an ancient king.

Throughout the season, Josh brings you with him on exciting adventures to Israel as he joins two teams of researchers who each claim they found Bethsaida, a lost Biblical town where Jesus is said to have performed miracles.

In the UK, Josh hunts for the greatest pirate treasure ever plundered, and sets out to uncover mysteriously vanished WWI minesweepers at the bottom of Lake Superior.

In Cambodia, Josh works to unearth a long-buried temple, and joins the fight to bring the looted treasures of the Khmer Empire back where they belong.

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days 6

90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days is back with an all-new slate of couples ready to meet the loves of their life abroad.

The series will follow long-distance relationships before the K-1 Visa process begins, chronicling how they found each other, their first in-person meetings in a foreign country, and the countless surprises, drama and culture clashes along the way.

Despite the challenges of interfering families, former flames and shady pasts, these lovestruck hopefuls will travel across the world to meet the person they believe is their soulmate.

The series is back with seven brand new couples preparing to meet their partner in person for the first time, and one returning favourite, reuniting to figure out if they have what it takes to make their relationship work.

Follow along with our love-struck Americans as they navigate first encounters in foreign lands, and all the unexpected surprises, cultural clashes and dramatic twists in their pursuit of true love.

This season serves up an explosion of emotion with all the highs and lows of dating across the globe, as marriage proposals dangle in the distance.

Get to know the couples featured in the upcoming season:

Amanda (31, Louisiana) & Razvan (26, Romania)

Amanda, a widowed mother of two, never thought she'd find love again after losing her husband to a sudden battle with cancer.

But all that changed when she started chatting online with Razvan, a Romanian social media star and actor.

Razvan helped pull her out of her grief as she fell in love with his warmth, sense of humour and chiseled, model body.

Now, after four months of online dating, Amanda is ready to fly to Romania to meet him for the first time in person.

But is she truly ready to open herself up to a new relationship? And at 26, is Razvan prepared for life with two young children?

Will jealousy over Razvan's career come between them? Will love endure, or is this all a bit too fast?

Riley (48, Pennsylvania) & Violet (43, Vietnam)

Riley, a military vet, jazz lover, and cigar aficionado, has been scarred by betrayal in his past relationships, but after meeting and falling for his Vietnamese girlfriend Violet online, he's ready to fly to Vietnam to give love another chance.

But it hasn't been smooth sailing in the two years since they started talking, and Riley's concerns have led him to look into hiring a private investigator to determine if he can really trust Violet.

With issues from the onset, do these two stand a chance?

Christian (30, Minnesota) & Cleo (32, England)

Christian is the self-proclaimed life of the party who's been all over the dating scene but has yet to find 'the one.'

Enter Cleo, an autistic and neurodivergent trans woman who values quiet time at home in London with her cats.

The two met on social media almost a year ago and what started out as a friendship, became a full-fledged romance and both completely smitten.

Despite pushback from some of his family, and a history of dating exclusively cis-woman, Christian is excited to finally meet Cleo - but is admittedly not sure how he's going to feel once they're together in person.

Will their differences come between them?

Tyray (33, California) & Carmella (27, Barbados)

Tyray is a generous, big-hearted man whose insecurities about his body have held him back from finding love - until four years ago when he met the love of his life, Carmella on a dating app.

Even though they communicate exclusively on SnapChat, Carmella has been a huge part of Tyray's life, supporting him when his mother had a stroke and he had to quit his job and move in with her to be her caretaker.

The connection they've formed is so deep that they've started talking about marriage, and now Tyray is planning a trip to Barbados so that they can finally meet and he can hopefully propose.

But despite having been talking for four years, Tyray's family knows nothing of his relationship - will they try to stand in the way of true love?

David (42, Nebraska) & Sheila (31, Philippines)

David is a kind-hearted, hardworking man who was born completely deaf.

He's been longing for love and companionship his entire life but connecting with people in a hearing world can be a struggle.

His last relationship ended badly when he found out he was being cheated on but thankfully he didn't give up on love because two years ago he met Sheila online.

David and Sheila have been talking every day for the last two years, but mostly through text since although also hearing impaired, Sheila knows very limited sign language.

Despite concerns from David's family and friends, David is sure Sheila is the one and is putting everything on the line to travel 8000 miles to the Philippines.

Can their love withstand both culture and communication hurdles?

Meisha (43, Minnesota) & Nicola (46, Israel)

Meisha is a 43-year-old divorced Catholic convert who left her glamorous life as a TV journalist after experiencing a spiritual awakening in her living room.

Seven years ago, while exploring her newfound faith she connected online with Nicola, a 46-year-old virgin who has never been in a serious relationship and lives with his mother in Israel.

Despite coming from two completely different worlds, over the years they fell in love and now, after seven years of talking, Meisha is flying to Israel to finally meet him in person with hopes of coming back engaged.

But with his limited experience with women, is Nicola capable of giving Meisha everything she needs?

Statler (33, Texas) & Dempsey (28, England)

Statler is a high-energy, charismatic insect enthusiast from Texas.

As an adopted child, she never really felt like she fitted in and thought of herself as the black sheep in the family, which left her longing for unconditional love.

Statler thinks she may have finally found it with her British girlfriend Dempsey.

After talking for seven months, Statler is heading to England to meet her for the first time.

But unbeknownst to Dempsey, if all goes well, Statler is planning to move there.

Will it all be too much too soon?

Gino (53, Michigan) & Jasmine (35, Panama)

After over two years together Gino and Jasmine are engaged and waiting on the approval of Jasmine's K-1 Visa.

They are deeply in love, but their relationship is an emotional rollercoaster and things have been rocky as of late.

Gino keeps promising Jasmine's visa will come through any day, but she is growing impatient and forces Gino to rent her a luxury apartment in Panama for the next month while she waits.

Jasmine's expensive habits leave Gino and his family wondering if she's only after his money.

Finances aren't the only cause of arguments - they've also been struggling with communication, trust and problems in the bedrooms.

Hoping to resolve some of these big issues before getting married, Gino is headed back to Panama.

Do they have what it takes to make this work or will the fighting prove to be too much?
