Last Woman Standing (Ep6)

Five athletic adventurers from the west compete for glory against tribal champions in some of the remotest corners of the globe, with the ultimate aim of being crowned the last woman standing. They have just a week to master an indigenous sport, training and rituals whilst eating and sleeping as their fellow competitors do.

Tarahumara: Mountain Endurance Race

The series culminates in the ultimate trial of pain and endurance - an exhausting, high-altitude, long distance run through the Mexican mountains against the Tarahumara tribe, throwing a homemade hoop for fifteen kilometres.

The Tarahumara of the Sierra Madre in northern Mexico call themselves the Raramuri, which literally means 'those who run'. Over generations they have adapted to the thin mountain air and their extraordinary lung capacity and stamina makes them among the best endurance runners in the world.

Women enjoy high status here and some have even become shamans and leaders. Legend has it that God created the Tarahumara women with three breaths - the first to live, the second to give birth and the third to run.

The Tarahumara are capable of running hundreds of kilometres over treacherous terrain. The women have their own special race known as 'Arihueta' in which they hurl hoops with a stick while running in primitive sandals made from old car tyres.

How will our athletes hack the high altitude, harsh conditions and rough terrain as they fight it out to be the Last Woman Standing?

Treasures of Ancient Rome (Ep3)

In the third and final part of the series, Alastair Sooke charts the decline and fall of the Roman Empire through some of its hidden and most magical artistic treasures. He travels to Leptis Magna in Libya shortly after the overthrow of Gaddafi and finds one of the best preserved Roman cities in the world and the cradle of later Roman art. Sooke discovers glorious mosaics which have never been filmed before, but also finds evidence of shocking neglect of Libya's Roman heritage by the Gaddafi regime. His artistic tour takes him to Egypt and the northern frontiers of the empire where he encounters stunning mummy paintings and exquisite silver and glassware. As Rome careered from one crisis to another, official art became more hard boiled and militaristic and an obscure cult called Christianity rose up to seize the mantle of Western art for centuries to come.
