Season 1
Episodes
Living Room Addition
Sarah Richardson heads for cottage country to show you how to squeeze the most value from your cherished summer getaway. Sarah's off-the-grid retreat bobs17 miles offshore, light-years away from big city stress and convenience. Borrowing from the richness of nature, Sarah and design sidekick Tommy Smythe create a living room addition that celebrates the sweeping panoramic view and gives a front row seat to amazing sunsets!
East West Guest Rooms
Guests are as certain as black flies at a cottage even if it's smack in the middle of a lake. Sarah Richardson and design sidekick Tommy Smythe whip two tight spaces into shape by dusting off old features and shoehorning in vintage cottage style. The dark East Room draws from every watt of light-filled skies while the sun-baked West Room cools down in watery blues and greens. Even hotel connoisseur Tommy feels at home in these five-star accommodations!
The Bathrooms
No bathroom reno is a day at the beach, but with civilization a lengthy boat ride away it's more of an exercise than imagined. With military precision Sarah Richard, design sidekick Tommy Smythe and contractor Vito Colucci create two nature-inspired bathrooms, each on a strict budget. As the bathrooms come together Sarah's husband Alexander increases the solar capacity on this electricity-free island to run the new facilities. Roughing it never felt better!
Master Bedroom and Kids Loft
A prime motivator for updating a time worn cottage is to create sleeping quarters for all. Awkward ceilings and layouts plus dingy lighting rule the bedrooms in Sarah's summer place, and a winter storm unleashed its wrath on the ceilings and newly laid floor. Sarah Richardson and design sidekick Tommy Smythe transform the spaces into a versatile kids' loft and a master bedroom with a subtle nod to cottage living. A rooftop deck affords a view of ever-changing lake vistas.
Kitchen, Dining Room, Lounge
Sarah Richardson proves you can have all the comforts and practicality of home at your cherished summer place. The open concept main level welcomes multi functional style with an energy efficient gourmet kitchen and a light filled dining and lounge area. Sarah's muted colour palette draws from nature's backdrop to create a space worthy of a weekend's worth of city refugees or casual dining on a whim!
Guest Cabin
Nobody does a cottage guesthouse like Sarah Richardson! She and design sidekick Tommy Smythe nestle a neglected guest cabin into an away-from-it-all corner of the island. The last room of the cottage project Sarah struggles to keep her budget afloat. She salvages pine boards, windows and a birch tree that with a little ingenuity comes back as a bedside lamp. At the last minute her doctor votes a very pregnant Sarah off the island, leaving Tommy to complete the project himself!

The Other Bennet Sister
The Other Bennet Sister is a fresh spin around the ballroom for one of Jane Austen's most unassuming characters: Mary Bennet – the seemingly unremarkable and overlooked middle sister in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The series takes as its premise that - when it comes to the Bennet sisters - while we dream of being Lizzy, in reality most us are more like Mary...
Unlike her sisters, Mary isn't your typical period drama heroine. She is awkward, anxious, preachy, full of facts, a terrible singer… overlooked by her mother and seemingly destined to an empty dance card for the rest of her life… until Mary takes matters into her own hands.
The Other Bennet Sister gives Mary Bennet the epic love story nobody predicted for her, taking her from her family home in Meryton to the soirees of Regency London and the peaks and vales of the Lake District - all in search of independence, romance and, most elusive of all, self-love and acceptance.
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives
With roadside diners, vintage drive-ins and out-of-the-way "dives" enjoying a resurgence of hipness among foodies, host Guy Fieri travels across America in search of some of the best "greasy spoon" eateries. The restaurants that Guy visits are usually well-known among locals and other people in the region. While at each location, Fieri talks to the staff as well as the customers to get their thoughts on the food. Many episodes feature eateries that are connected by a common thread, such as burgers or comfort foods but its all here on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
Outlander
Outlander follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire's heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.
The Outlander series, adapted from Diana Gabaldon's international best-selling books, spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history and adventure into one epic tale.
