Seasons
1. Trawlerman
In one of the most intense experiences of his life, Grimsby-based Guy Martin takes on the dangerous job of working as a deckhand on a fishing trawler.
2. Wildlife Warden
The Calf of Man is a remote island in the Irish Sea, just off the coast of the Isle of Man. It is a nature reserve, with just four permanent residents who live off-grid, monitoring wildlife and maintaining the wild habitats. Guy joins these wardens in their conservation work, trying his hand at birdwatching, rat catching and cleaning up a beach that's a favourite with pregnant seals.
3. Firefighter
Guy Martin follows in the footsteps of his brother and sister, both of whom were firefighters - "well, I suppose it's in the blood". Before dawn, Guy arrives at Peak's Lane Fire Station in Grimsby – the town's busiest station – to work a full 24-hour shift on Green Watch. As well as joining the crew of Papa 4 on any call outs through the day - "got to drive through Grimsby with the dee-daas going!", Guy mucks in with cooking meals, works out in a gym for the first time in his life and learns why his fellow firefighters joined the service, what motivates them and how they cope with the harder parts of the job.
4. Mountain Rescue Dog Handler
Guy heads to the Cairngorms – one of Britain's most dangerous mountain ranges – where he's given an intense course of Mountain Rescue training and learns a little about why the volunteers who do this extreme job repeatedly risk everything to save others. Then he practices, repeatedly, how to work with an experienced search and rescue dog called Pippa, learning how to efficiently cover a search area with her.

The Andy Griffith Show
The Andy Griffith Show is an American sitcom first televised on CBS between October 3, 1960 and April 1, 1968. Andy Griffith portrays the widowed sheriff of the fictional small community of Mayberry, North Carolina. His life is complicated by an inept, but well-meaning deputy, Barney Fife, a spinster aunt and housekeeper, Aunt Bee, and a precocious young son, Opie. Local ne'er-do-wells, bumbling pals, and temperamental girlfriends further complicate his life. Andy Griffith stated in a Today Show interview, with respect to the time period of the show: "Well, though we never said it, and though it was shot in the '60s, it had a feeling of the '30s. It was when we were doing it, of a time gone by." The series never placed lower than seventh in the Nielsen ratings and ended its final season at number one. It has been ranked by TV Guide as the 9th-best show in American television history. Though neither Griffith nor the show won awards during its eight-season run, series co-stars Knotts and Bavier accumulated a combined total of six Emmy Awards. The show, a semi-spin-off from an episode of The Danny Thomas Show titled "Danny Meets Andy Griffith", spawned its own spin-off series, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., a sequel series, Mayberry R.F.D., and a reunion telemovie, Return to Mayberry. The show's enduring popularity has generated a good deal of show-related merchandise. Reruns currently air on TV Land, and the complete series is available on DVD. All eight seasons are also now available by streaming video services such as Netflix.
