Treks In A Wild World

World, 8pm

Programme host Holly Morris explores two areas of the Alps - the Italian Dolomites, a rock climbers' heaven, and the Matterhorn, in France. Morris starts off in the Via Ferratae - Italy's famous iron ways - a series of iron ladders and ropes that links some of the most spectacular rock-climbing faces in the world. She scrambles across exposed ledges with steep drops and climbs up 30-metre ladders to the higher elevations that even mountain goats cannot reach. She then heads across the Alps to climb the most dramatic-looking mountain in Europe: the Matterhorn.

Scientific American Frontiers: A Different Way To Heal

National Geographic, 11pm

Acupuncture. Herbal remedies. Magnet therapy. Do these and other alternatives to traditional Western medicine really work? Consumers and patients seem to think so: alternative and so-called complementary medicine is now a multibillion-dollar industry. There are lots of claims for the efficacy

of such treatments, but very little scientific testing and evidence to support them. Follow research projects and clinical trials that are attempting to test these claims with scientific methods.

Grab your boarding pass to the extreme realm of action board sports and experience the exhilaration of speed around the world.

air-snowboard specialist Tina Birbaum - the team goes reef-hopping on a boat in Tahiti to find the perfect wave, rides the biggest half-pipe in the world and tries out the skate parks of North America and Europe.
