DELICACIES
Wednesday, 6 October @ 23:00 HK/SIN
How far would you go to please your palate? Icelanders celebrate
their Viking heritage with a feast of rotten shark meat, dug up after being buried for months, and every part of a ram - from eyeballs to testicles. In India, the Anglo-Indian community delights in eating a special dish called kutti pi - the fetus of a goat. Rat may disgust western city dwellers - but residents of Togo prefer it to chicken. And in Taiwan, the local Viagra is a stew made from the sex organ of a bull. In each case, what may be our disgust is another person's delicacy.

FRONTLINES OF CONSTRUCTION (SEASON 2)
KILLERS
Thursday, 28 October @ 23:00 HK/SIN
In July 1981, two suspended walkways in the atrium of the Kansas City Hyatt Regency Hotel collapsed, killing 114 people. It was the deadliest U.S. hotel disaster in 35 years. To find out why it happened-and to prevent it
from ever happening again, officials turned to forensic engineering. Armed with everything from scaffolding to electron microscopes, using basic detective skills, and sometimes even mountaineering techniques, forensic engineers are able to determine why building structures have failed. But it's not all just disaster recovery work, as they also apply their skills to ascertain the state of a structure's health before disaster can occur. End.
