Fort William is once again resounding to the sound of cheering crowds and screeching tyres as the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup returns to Scotland. And there is no shortage of action, from the fast, gladiatorial 4X to the brutal downhill.

Presented by Duncan McCallum and Dougie Vipond.

The Dramathon
The Dramathon is one of the newest events in the racing calendar but is already hugely popular – attracting over 1,000 people. Competitors follow the iconic Speyside Way from Ballindalloch to Dufftown along forest tracks, riverside paths and through the hills. And it is called the Dramathon for a reason, because the route takes the competitors past nine of Scotland's finest whisky distilleries.

Spartacus: House of Ashur
Spartacus: House of Ashur poses the question: What if Ashur hadn't died on Mount Vesuvius at the end of Spartacus: Vengeance? And what if he had been gifted the gladiator school once owned by Batiatus in return for aiding the Romans in killing Spartacus and ending the slave rebellion?
Wild Cards
Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
