The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan 3
Channel: S3
TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Docu-Reality, Travel
Comedian and TV presenter Romesh Ranganathan travels way beyond his comfort zone and the world of complimentary breakfast buffets to some of the most unlikely places on Earth for a holiday.
In the Season 3 premiere, "Christmas in the Hebrides": Everyone Romesh has ever met has told him how amazing the Scottish islands are - but nobody he knows has actually ever been there.
Now, in a year when travel abroad has been all but forbidden, he is heading to the Hebrides to find out if you can really have a proper adventure so close to home, spending a week visiting the isles of Skye, Harris and Lewis.
Guiding him through the journey is Donald Macsween, or Sweeney to his friends, a local crofter from the far north of Lewis - a place that lies as far north as Greenland.
During their trip, Sweeney shows Romesh the spectacular rugged beauty of the islands and what at first glance looks like Caribbean sandy beaches - only utterly freezing.
Rom tries his hand at the Highland Games and does his best to avoid feeling up a sheep's testicles during a day spent on Sweeney's farm.
Along the way, there is a trip to the remote island of St Kilda - four hours out across the open Atlantic - and a chaotic afternoon spent with local band Peat and Diesel, the biggest thing to hit the Western Isles for decades.
But it is also a trip full of surprises: Rom finds a community that is at times uncomfortable with the sheer number of people now visiting the islands and sees why its people are having to fight so hard to preserve their local culture.
Storage Wars 16
Channel: HISTORY (DStv 186)
TX Time: 18h10
Genre: Reality
Storage Wars, which makes entertainment out of items getting seized from Californian storage units and then sold off at auction, is back for a new season.
Bidders, who are desperately trying to outdo each other and pocket bucketloads of cash, range from 20-somethings out for fun and adventure to husband and wife teams looking to make fast and large cash.
In each episode of Storage Wars, the cast of characters head to storage units and wait anxiously for the big reveal of what is behind the door.
The owner of the facility will cut the lock and raise the door for the first time, allowing bidders to peer inside for a brief moment, aided only by a flashlight.
This short glimpse is their only opportunity to evaluate whether they think the unit holds rags or riches.
Then, the bidding begins.
In the Season 16 premiere, "The Return of the Return of San Burrito": Kenny channels an old friend's tactics, allowing him to pick just the right unit; and Brandi flexes her muscles on a dusty locker.
Meanwhile, Ivy does his best to look beneath the surface, while Rene and Casey gamble big on an even bigger room.
