20:00-20:30 brand new series.3/7.Australian Wilderness with Ray Mears.(Series 1).This brand-new seven part series sees renowned bushcraft expert Ray Mears delving further into the outback. 
Ray travels across Australia to discover how the wildlife and people thrive and adapt in some of the planet’s last great areas of wilderness. 
In this series Ray ventures through turquoise waters, across majestic mangroves, high above mountain ranges and deep into pre-historic forests. In each episode Ray journeys through Australia in search of its  remarkable landscapes, the extraordinary wildlife and the people who have survived this  wilderness.  
Episode 3 - Nitmiluk Gorge
Ray starts his journey in a helicopter over the vast area of Nitmiluk national park in Northern Australia.  Beneath him he sees a stony wilderness, twice the size of London, created before dinosaurs roamed the earth.
He then travels on foot, following waterholes through this totally uninhabited land. This trail leads him to a dry forest, where parrots and cockatoos abound.  Ray travels on through groves of acacia and spinifex trees to reach the Katharine River. 
At the river Ray finds kookaburra birds hunting, and has an encounter with a giant water monitor lizard, which is dangerous if disturbed.  He follows the lizard’s footprints into the river gorge, where he encounters the Olive Python, which has 10,000 muscles in its body!
Further on down the river Ray meets park ranger Jamie Brookes, and learns from him that in the rainy season the Katharine River can flow at 40 kilometres an hour.   On their journey together, Jamie points out the stone paintings of the Jawoyn people, who believed that the giant serpent Bolong lives in the river gorge.  The climax of Ray’s journey is when he encounters 50,000 flying fox bats, and crocodiles waiting to catch them.

21:00-22:00 brand new one-off-documentary.Bear's Mission with Anthony Joshua.Anthony Joshua’s epic fight with Wladimir Klitschko made him a global superstar. He defeated one of boxing’s greatest champions and became the unified world heavyweight champion. Not bad for a boy from Watford who first stepped into a boxing gym just 10 years ago. But does this city boy have what it takes outside of the ring and his comfort zone to survive two days in the wild with Bear Grylls?
In Bear’s Mission with Anthony Joshua they embark on a mission which requires AJ to use a whole different set of survival skills. He is stripped of the lifestyle he is used to at home in London and taken back to nature to reveal a side of himself that you’ve never seen before.
AJ ON HIS MISSION WITH BEAR GRYLLS: “THIS IS THE SCARIEST THING I’VE EVER DONE”
AJ ON HIS CAREER: “NOW I’VE UNIFIED THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION, NOW THE HARD WORK BEGINS… MY APPRENTICESHIP IS DONE. I’M GOING TO TAKE OVER.”
AJ ON HIS SON: “IT’S BEEN A BLESSING. BEFORE, IT WAS ALL ABOUT ME… I REALISED THERE IS SOMEONE WHO IS GOING TO BE HERE AFTER I’M GONE.”
Sporting icon and global superstar, Anthony Joshua, joins Bear Grylls on a mission he will never forget. 
On his venture with Bear, the self confessed “city boy” says, “I’m going to embrace it… I don’t know what I’m in for… I could end up running into a sheep or a sheep could attack me. I don’t know what’s going to happen. The sheep here look like they are from the ghetto!”
Set on a two day mission, AJ faces one of the UK’s most notorious climbing faces, Commando Ridge, where the Royal Marines have trained for decades.
“I’m the king of my domain and right now I’m out of my comfort zone,” AJ says, “I hate bugs, I don’t like heights really, I’m used to being in the comfort of my living room but I think let’s go for it, what’s the worst that could happen?”
The mission will strip AJ of the lifestyle he is used to, taking him back to nature and will reveal a side of the boxing star that we have never seen before.
On his motivation to take part in the mission, AJ says: “I wanted to come for an experience… Showing people that there is more than just their postcode. I don’t really want to climb this rock because it’s scary but I think it opens up another portal in my mind, to make me feel I can achieve, I can overcome fears… This is one of the hardest things I’ve done. It’s real.”
Climbing up the rock face, he admits: “This is the scariest thing I’ve ever done.”
AJ ON GROWING UP AND HIS FAMILY
Speaking to Bear about where his spirit comes from, AJ says: “Definitely my dad. They called him ‘Big Josh’ ‘Big guy’. He supported all the family. And even when it’s tough you just keep going, keep going.”
On who brought him up, he says his mum and dad did: “Mum [and] dad split up. Dad is in Nigeria now so in a sense, mum did a lot of the groundwork.”
On being in trouble when he was younger, he says: “I was arrested, I was on remand and then I got banned from Watford for 14 months, they said I’m not allowed to be in the area. I was so stuck in the mind set that I didn’t think it was wrong but now I look back, I think if there’s anything that I want to attach myself to, it’s to help change the mindset of kids that are going through tough times because it starts from here [he points to his head].”
The sportsman - who is used to eating 5000 calories a day when training - also ate the marrow from a rotten sheep’s leg and even ate a maggot.
“When I’m at home I might ask for maggot and chips and see how that sits with me!” he joked.
AJ spoke about family life and his 19 month old son: “Me and my mum got closer when my son was going to be born. I haven’t got the motherly instinct, I’m a working man, I’m busy, I’m focussed. I don’t want to change, I’m very regimented and I thought ‘Oh my God, it’s all going to change!’ But it’s been a blessing. Before it was all about me, I lived for myself but then when I had my son, I started realising there is someone who is going to be here after I’m gone and that’s what he taught me, build something that they will respect and appreciate when I’m not here anymore.”
AJ also spoke about his living situation, admitting he still lives at home with his mum.
He explained: “It’s two bedrooms, one bathroom but it’s nice. We’ve got a lick of white paint in there, some spotlights, we try to bring it to life.”
AJ ON BOXING
AJ explains how he got into boxing: “There was a community in the gym and it doesn’t matter your race, your religion, your body type, there was space for everyone. I ended up having my first fight at 19. I knocked him out and I thought it was easy. Then a few more of my family came to the next one, then friends and family came to the next one and I lost. So I stopped inviting people and I said, ‘This is a job, this is work.’”
Bear and AJ perform a face off and AJ shows Bear some moves: “And that is the art of the face off. It’s letting your opponent know that there is no fear, I look beyond the eyes, I’m looking into your soul. Defend, encounter, defend, encounter but don’t switch off.”
On what he thinks about when he is boxing, he says: “Dance. Move. That’s why I’ve changed my kit. I wear all white because it’s in honour of Muhammad Ali, he was one of the greatest dancers, he had finesse when he boxed.” 
And when asked if anything prepares a boxer for being hit in the head, he replies: “Nothing can.”
“Do you get used to it?” Bear quizzes.
“No, never,” he says, “I watch it back and when I watch I [recoil]. It’s serious business.”
On how he keeps calm in those moments, AJ admits: “That’s where speed is important because when you are trading, it’s the first man to land wins the fight… It’s about speed as well.”
AJ speaks to Bear about the knockout punch that made him the unified heavyweight champion of the world in his fight against Wladimir Klitschko: “He kept on throwing his right hand. He threw his jab, then his right hand. Then I’ve gone under it. I whipped it. I missed him. I wanted to catch him with a backhand, left hook.” 
AJ admits that the devastating uppercut that won the bout was just a spur of the moment reaction after his left hook completely missed Klitschko – and wasn’t a combination from his training: “That was just natural. The one I hadn’t really practiced changed the game.”
AJ also speaks about his career ambitions for the future: “I know people probably look at me where I grew up and think, ‘What has happened? How did he change?’ I got out of where I grew up, I moved to Golders’ Green with my mum and that’s just how the boxing started. The people in the boxing gym really gave me guidance and wisdom, it really helped me change my outlook on what I thought was respect, what I thought was wealth… You can’t merge things, either you are 100 percent or you’re not and I just chose [the] 100 percent route with boxing. Now I’ve unified the heavyweight division, now the hard work begins so if people think that it’s time to enjoy, they got it wrong. They’re going to see the real disciplined AJ now. We’re just getting started. I haven’t been boxing that long but it’s always been at a high level and now I’m here, I think that my apprenticeship is done. I’m going to take over.”.World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua steps outside the ring and his comfort zone as he attempts to survive two days in the wild with Bear Grylls.*brand new one-off-documentary Bear's Mission with Rob Brydon airs on next Friday (2nd,November,2018) at 9:00pm-10:00pm.

22:40-23:15 brand new series.15/20.After the News.(Series 1).After The News.
This new live topical discussion programme for TV3
debates Britain’s biggest talking points with a range of high-profile guests from news, politics, and popular culture.
Hosted separately five nights a week by broadcasters Emma Barnett and Nick Ferrari, they will be joined for the duration of the 30-minute programme by two guests with passionately-held and differing views for a lively and combative discussion on a range of stories and issues.
The programme aims to be the last word on the major talking points of the day and to combine them with fresh insights into the next morning’s big stories, taking perspectives from social media to fuel the conversation in the studio.
Guests lined up to appear on the show include Nigel Farage, Alastair Campbell, Ann Widdecombe, Nick Clegg, Nicky Morgan, Jason Isaacs, Shami Chakrabarti, Chuka Umunna, Quentin Letts, Julia Hartley-Brewer, and Alex Salmond.
Depending on the news agenda, the panel may be joined by an additional interviewee or contributor who is at the heart of a major news story, and the programme will make room for single interviews on particularly high-profile topics.
Emma, who hosts her own show on Radio 5 live, will present every Tuesday and Friday night, while LBC host Nick will front the show on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The pair will alternate on Mondays.
Emma Barnett said: “News has never been so newsworthy - which is ironic in an era when we've got more access to the hard stuff than ever before. I love being in the middle of the day's biggest issues and separating truth from spin. I look forward to getting going with this new late night news show. So bring it on."
Nick Ferrari said: "With everything from the recent terror attacks, to the complexities of Brexit and even the horror of one of the worst peacetime disasters in history with the Grenfell tragedy, rarely has the news agenda been so compelling and ever-changing. This show seeks to reflect that."
Executive producer Ian Rumsey, Head of Topical Programmes, ITN Productions said: “We’re aiming to go behind the headlines every night – and also bring some of the next day’s big stories forward. We won’t just be sticking simply to the news agenda, our programme will also focus on many of the other things that Britain is really talking about that day.”.*After the News Series 1 Episode 16 of 20 last in series and series finale airs on Monday (29th,October,2018) to next Friday (2nd,November,2018).

23:45-00:45 (Repeat) brand new series.1/.John Carter's Life Stories.(Series 15).(Kim Cattrall).Hollywood actress Kim Cattrall talks to
John Carter about her extraordinary life and career in the first programme of the new series of John Carter's Life Stories.
On her Sex and the City co-stars: “We’ve never been friends.”
Turning down SATC 3: “I never asked for any money, I never asked for any projects, to be thought of as some kind of diva is absolutely ridiculous.”
On her love-life: “I never made it a priority. I put work before them.”
Hollywood actress Kim Cattrall spoke to John Carter's Life Stories about turning down Sex and the City 3, her relationship with the SATC cast, her struggle with insomnia and how her career has affected her love life.
In the candid interview with John Carter which airs tonight [Monday 22nd October] Kim also spoke about considering IVF, meeting President Donald Trump, her fondness for Steven Gerrard and her most embarrassing moment during a sex scene. 
Kim on Liverpool
Kim was born in Liverpool but her family moved to Canada when she was a baby. On whether she considered herself a Liverpudlian, Kim said: “Proudly a Liverpudlian, yes. Always have, always have been.”
She also revealed that her Aunt used to babysit for one of The Beatles. She said: “Yes one of the famous drummers in the world, Ringo Starr. They were in the Dingle, that’s Toxteth, that’s where they lived and she was a young gal looking for babysitting money and that’s how that happened.”
Kim, who supports Liverpool Football Club, also spoke of meeting former player Steven Gerrard: “He was really lovely. I did a play in Liverpool in 2011 at the Liverpool Playhouse, it was sort of a dream of mine. But he came to see the play, it wasn’t an easy play, it’s Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare, for over three hours long. But he came backstage and he came out for drinks with the cast afterwards and it was just, he was so generous, so down-to-earth.”
On her on-screen sex scenes
John asked Kim if she’d ever had any embarrassing moments during a sex scene. “Yes sadly. I was working with an actor and we were doing the scene and he is on top of me and then he collapsed and then he farted, and I thought, ‘is this an acting choice he has made?’ I didn’t really understand what was going on. And what had happened was he had been working out so much and so frantically, and had been on a diet, he had forgotten to eat and when he fell on me he passed out.” She added: “It was pretty gross.”
On turning down the role of Samantha Jones
Asked whether it was true that she had originally turned down the role of Samantha Jones in Sex and the City three times, she said: “I did. I think I was scared. I think that at 41 I didn’t know if I could pull it off. I just felt I didn’t want to put myself out there and be ridiculed. And 40 now seems so young but then, there is ageism everywhere, not just in Hollywood and this sort of thing about being an older woman and preying on younger men. I thought I don’t want that tied around my neck but I found a way in and this way in was about self-empowerment about not just saying yes or no and making your life about a man, it was yes or no about you making decisions, about your life.”
On President Donald Trump
Donald Trump had a cameo in SATC before becoming President. Piers asked Kim what her memories were of him. “He didn’t want anyone to touch his hair. He did his own make-up which was decidedly orange, it’s true. It hasn’t been enhanced, that’s Donald. And we were shooting at the Plaza [Hotel] and he owned the Plaza at the time, and part of the deal with shooting in the Plaza was he had to be in it. He wasn’t supposed to say a line because if you are sort of basically an extra you get paid a certain amount but if you say a line you get more money and of course he said a line.”
John said: “I can't imagine, knowing Donald Trump as I do, that he would be in the same room as you for very long without suggesting that maybe you…” 
Kim replied: “Never”
When John asked whether Trump hadn’t even tried, Kim said: “I think I'm too smart for him actually. He knows he wouldn’t have a chance.”
On work and romantic relationships
On whether her work and ambition had impacted on her private life, Kim said: “Hugely. I look back and I think, you know, at the time, there would also be enough time to spend, especially in my relationships, with my partner and there never was, and I never made it a priority. I put work before them.”
Asked whether she regretted doing that, she said: “I remember specifically with my husband Andreas [Lyson, her second husband]. He was offering both of us a wonderful life together but I was just too young.”
On considering IVF
Kim also spoke about her experience of considering IVF with her third husband Mark [Levinson]. “That was my early 40s and I had just started filming Sex and the City, the chances of getting pregnant with these procedures was, everyone was talking about it. But I thought to myself, ‘wow I have 19 hour days on this series, I have weekends where I finish at Saturday morning. My Monday morning would start at 4.45am and go to one or two in the morning. How could I possible continue to do that, especially in my early 40s?’ And then I realised what a commitment it was just to the procedures. I thought I don’t think this is going to happen. It was the first moment, it was extraordinary, in my life where I thought maybe I’m just not going to do this.”
When asked whether she felt maternal, Kim said: “Yes I think it’s part of being a woman to have that. But obviously fate, timing, luck, destiny, I don’t know, and that’s when I started mentoring young actresses, in particular, that’s where I thought I have a place to be a mom here, not a biological mom but a mom and an auntie and a friend. And that has really given me so much, as much as I give I get two-fold back.”
On having insomnia
A few years after Kim’s father died in 2013, she began experiencing insomnia whilst working in the West End. Speaking about this difficult time she said: “It was like a 250 pound gorilla was sitting on my chest. I couldn’t get it off me. It was always around three o’clock [in the morning] and of course I was awake so I thought, ‘I’m awake I may as well work’. I had like an overload going on, I didn’t know how to turn it off. It was almost a feeling of, if I slept, I would have to deal with, I think the grief underneath it, of not coming to terms intellectually with my dad passing but the emotional loss of that. I literally hit a wall, hit a cement wall.”
Kim on SATC and turning down SATC 3
John asked if there would ever be any more Sex and the City. “Not for me. That was part of turning 60. That was a very clear moment of, how many years do I have left and what do I want to do it, what haven’t I done. I feel that the show is the best when it was the series and the bonus was the two movies.”
When John asked Kim if she had been tempted by Sex and the City 3 and whether it was true that filming had got quite far down the line but she had become an “impossible diva making terrible demands”, Kim said: “I remember so clearly making that decision. Last December I got a phone call and it was concerning that and I knew exactly, I could feel it, and the answer was simply, ‘thank you but no, I’m good’. 
She continued: “December 2017 I said no. This isn’t about more money, it’s not about more scenes, it’s not about any of those things. This is about a clear decision, an empowered decision in my life, to end one chapter and start another. I’m 61. It’s now. The other girls are 10 years younger than me, you know, and that is their choice.”
On whether her co-stars thought she was negotiating, Kim said: “The answer was always no and a respectful, firm, no. It’s a great part. I played it past the finish line and then some and I loved it and another actress should play it, maybe they could make it an African-American Samantha Jones or a Hispanic Samantha Jones, or bring in another character. I wish them the best. I will be the one in the audience cheering them on.”
John asked Kim whether she had “never really got on” with her SATC co-stars: “We’ve never been friends. We‘ve been colleagues and in some ways it’s a very healthy place to be because then you have a clear line between your professional life and relationship and your personal.”
She continued: “To get any kind of negative press about something that I’ve been saying for almost a year of ‘no’ that I’m demanding or a diva, and this is really where I take to task the people from Sex and the City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker is that I think she could have been nicer. I really think she could have been nicer. I don’t know what her issue is. 
“I think the thing that still bothers me is this feeling of being in some way made to be the baddie. I never asked for any money, I never asked for any projects, to be thought of as some kind of diva is absolutely ridiculous.” 
Asked whether she was friends with any of her SATC co-stars, Kim said: “They all have children and I am ten years older and since specifically the series ended I have been spending most of my time outside of New York so I don’t see them. The common ground that we had was the series and the series is over.” 
Kim also revealed she didn’t know when she had spoken to her former co-stars last: “It must have been at some event, I don't even remember.”
John inquired if it was years ago, she said: “Got to be. And that’s another thing that’s really disappointing is that nobody ever picks up the phone and tries to contact you and say, ‘how you doing?’ That would have been the way to handle it. And usually what happens in a healthy relationship is that someone, or a transaction for a job in my business, is that someone says, ‘are you available?’ and you say ‘yes and here’s the job’ and you say ‘yes but thank you very much I’m sort of over here right now but thank you very much’ and that person turns to you and they say ‘that's great, good luck to you, I wish you the best’. That’s not what happened here, this is, it feels like a toxic relationship.”
When John joked she had killed Samantha, she smiled: “I haven’t killed Samantha, I have released Samantha.”
John then pushed Kim to clarify whether Samantha Jones would ever reappear, Kim said: “I swear, she will never reappear. Me playing her is definitely, that I can assure you will never happen. For me it’s over, and it’s over with no regrets. I just wish that Sarah [Jessica Parker] had been nicer.”
When John said people would probably be quite saddened to hear Kim confirm rumours that she didn’t get on with her co-stars, Kim replied: “This is the irony of it, this is where we are in the reality of it. And that was the fantasy of it but this is the reality of it. I’m being incredibly honest about them.”
Questioned on whether she would ever talk to Sarah Jessica Parker again, Kim said: “I don’t think that we’re faking it. I think there is genuine affection and there has been over the years. This is extenuating circumstances and in the past I’ve felt, wow, especially with the fans I don’t want to in any shape or form ruin an ideal of it, because it does stand for empowerment and it does stand for women sticking up for each other, but not always.”
Kim on her present relationship
On her current love life, Kim explained how she met her boyfriend: “Russell [Thomas] and I met at the R4, he was working at the R4 and we liked each other. He followed me and I followed him on Twitter, he direct messaged me. It was very, very modern it’s just been very easy.”
Asked whether she was in love: “Yeah, it’s real good, it’s real good. He’s a great guy.”.Kim Cattrall: Kim Cattrall explains her reasons for turning down Sex and the City 3, and revealing her relationship with the other cast members following rumoured feuds.
