| Programming Highlights: Discovery World HD Reveals a Different View of a Continent with AN AFRICAN JOURNEY WITH JONATHAN DIMBLEBY, Sept. 7 |
| Posted
on Saturday, August 21, 2010 - 09:00 PM |
Africa consists of more than 50 countries; each one unique. With its population of more than a billion, Africa – where homo sapiens originated at least 100,000 years ago – is the most culturally and ethnically diverse continent on the planet. But the peoples of Africa are widely regarded as victims of hunger, disease, poverty and conflict and the vast continent in which they live as one unmitigated disaster. With the insight of one of the U.K.’s most respected journalists and the bold high-definition viewing experience of Discovery World HD, comes AN AFRICAN JOURNEY WITH JONATHAN DIMBLEBY which challenges a host of prevailing misconceptions and paints the continent of Africa in an entirely new and refreshing light. Premiering Tuesday, September 7 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, this three-part series reveals Africa as it is: vibrant with energy, imagination, innovation, and populated by a wide range of individuals and communities who face great challenges but approach them with optimism and resolve. Of course there are victims and there are disasters, but to view Africa exclusively through that narrow prism is to short-change the truth and to miss the point.

on Saturday, August 21, 2010 - 08:50 PM |
With only seconds to make a life-saving decision, would you know what to do if the brakes failed in your car? Or the skyscraper elevator you were riding in suddenly went into freefall? Based on the bestselling books and hosted by survival expert and star of MAN VS. WILD, Bear Grylls, WORST CASE SCENARIO shows how the right knowledge and skills can help anyone succeed in urban survival situations that could arise without warning – from escaping a high-rise apartment fire to getting out of a sinking car. After three years with the elite Special Air Service in the British Army, Grylls is universally renowned for his exceptional survival skills in the most extreme environments – from shedding his clothes and using an ice block to cross Arctic waters to drinking his own urine in Northern Africa. But how do his skills measure up in the “urban jungle”? See for yourself when Discovery Channel presents back-to-back half-hour episodes of WORST CASE SCENARIO on Wednesdays at 9 and 9:30 p.m. ET/11 and 11:30 p.m. PT beginning Sept. 1.
