Season 6
Airs Thursdays, beginning February 20, at 7:00 p.m. MT/PT
Martin Clunes (Doc Martin) and
Caroline Catz (Louisa Glasson)
return to lead an ensemble cast of
eccentric villagers in a new season
of this series that mixes elements of
classic British sitcoms with sharp
medical drama.
Season 6 begins with Doc
Martin and Louisa firmly resolved
to be married after last season’s
kidnapping scare involving their
baby, James Henry. As plans for
the wedding move quickly forward,
what could possibly go wrong?
Other changes afoot: Aunt Ruth,
a psychiatrist, moves into the village
from the farm she inherited from
Aunt Joan; local restaurateur and
handyman Bert Large cooks up
another money-making scheme; and
Morwenna, Doc’s new receptionist,
tries Internet dating with surprising
results. Al, Bert’s son, seeks greater
independence from his father by
moving to a new residence that
offers an entirely new relationship.
Electrician Mike Pruddy, a
newcomer to the sleepy hamlet
of Portwenn on Cornwall’s coast,
proves himself a practical man and
the best choice as a new nanny
for James Henry. Also new to the
village are a temporary pharmacist
and a love interest for Bert.
“This series is a real rollercoaster
with more surprises than we
have ever had before in lots of
ways,” Clunes said of the latest
season. “We have lent on the other
characters more so it is not just
the Doc and Louisa. There are
storylines for the other regular
characters while still keeping the
bones of DOC MARTIN.”

Airs Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. MT/PT
As urban space shrinks, we build higher and faster than ever
before, creating a new generation of skyscrapers. These towering
buildings are pushing the limits of engineering, technology and
design to become greener, stronger, smarter and more luxurious
than their predecessors.
This series follows the building of four extraordinary
skyscrapers, showing how they are revolutionizing where we
live and work, how we protect ourselves from earthquakes and
terrorist attacks — and even control the amount of energy we use.
The series follows the engineering and construction
challenges using state-of-the-art graphics to bring out the full
drama of the build. Viewers meet the architects and other
prominent participants involved in each colossus.
One World Trade Center (February 5) features the tallest
building in the Western Hemisphere that is engineered to be the
idahoptv.org
safest and strongest skyscraper ever built. This episode follows
the final year of exterior construction, culminating with the
milestone of reaching the symbolic height of 1,776 feet.
Building the Future (February 12) looks at the Leadenhall
Building, the tallest skyscraper in London and the most
innovative.
Shanghai Tower isn’t just a skyscraper, it’s The Vertical City
(February 19), a collection of businesses, services and hotels
all in one place, fitting a population the size of Monaco into a
footprint the size of a football field.
Upon completion, The Billionaire Building (February
26) in Manhattan will rise more than 1,000 feet, making it the
tallest residential tower in the Western Hemisphere. The series
finale follows the teams tasked with creating New York’s most
luxurious residential skyscraper.

Pain, Pus and Poison
As the 1700s become
the 1800s, modern
medicine and its
pharmaceuticals are
being born. Innovative
scientists, chemists and
doctors begin to win
the battle against three
of mankind’s ancient
enemies — pain,
infection and poisons.
“This series tells
of the quest to find
drugs that actually
work,” says host Michael
Mosley, a British science journalist and
former physician, as he introduces the first episode.
“Drugs that could be harnessed to switch off pain. Poisons of the
natural world that we could turn to our advantage.”
Self-experimentation frequently has been part of the process,
and Mosley dives in to do his part to demonstrate the discovery
process.
The three-part miniseries is a tale of revelation and genius;
Airs Tuesdays, February 11-25,
at 8:00 p.m. MT/PT
a story that ultimately
transforms — and saves —
millions of people’s lives
worldwide.
“This is the story of how
we learned to fight back,”
Mosley says.
In Pain (February 11)
Mosley shows that when
a person experiences pain,
millions of nerve cells deep
within the brain are firing,
sending the message “it hurts.”
He traces the efforts to control
pain and how the discovery of
morphine led to the world’s first
pharmaceutical. In Pus (February
18) he shows how the human body
fights killer infections and diseases
and tells of the pioneering attempts to harness the power of
microbes to fight back. In Poison (February 25) Mosley explores
the turning points when scientists went from finding antidotes to
poisons to turning these killers into cures.
Airs Monday, February 3, at 10:00 p.m. MT/PT
This documentary is an intimate account, recorded over 12 years, of
the experiences of two middle-class African-American boys who entered
a prestigious — and historically white — private school on Manhattan’s
Upper East Side.
The Dalton School has made a commitment to recruit students of color,
and 5-year-old best friends Idris Brewster and Oluwaseun (Seun) Summers
of Brooklyn are two of the gifted children who are admitted. The boys are
placed in a demanding environment that provides new opportunities and
challenges, if little reflection of their cultural identities.
American Promise traces the boys’ journey from kindergarten
through high school graduation. The film documents the greatest
challenge for their families — and perhaps the country — in the effort
to close the black male educational achievement gap, which has been
called “the civil rights crusade of the 21st century.”
The film shows how the fight to succeed hits home in these two
black families. The parents are often frustrated by what they see as
their sons’ relative lack of drive compared to their own experiences.
At stake, beyond the challenges of being white or black in
America, is the meaning of success in our country.
“All American families want to give their children the
opportunity to succeed. But the truth is, opportunity is just the
first step, particularly for families raising black boys,” says
Michele Stephenson, the film’s co-director/co-producer and
Idris’ mother. “We hope American Promise shines a light on
these issues.”

Sunny, snowing or blowing, the weather
affects everything we do. Scientists study
the weather many ways. What’s a high or a
low front? How does air pressure affect the
weather? What makes the wind blow?
On this month’s show, host Joan CartanHansen discusses weather and climate
with meteorologists Vin Crosby and
Robyn Heffernan. Crosby has been a TV
weatherman in the Treasure Valley since
1999 and currently forecasts the weather for
KBOI-TV. Heffernan is a National Weather
Service fire weather meteorologist for the
National Interagency Fire Center in Boise.
Cartan-Hansen also takes students inside
the National Weather Service office to see
how meteorologists collect the data they need
to predict the weather.
Students watch SCIENCE TREK over
the air or on the show’s website. They
can send their questions through email to
[email protected] or submit video
questions recorded on their smart phones or
webcams. Students who send in a question
are eligible to win
prizes for their
classroom.

New Video on Capital Move from Lewiston to Boise
Airs on Plus Channel With
CAPITOL OF LIGHT
A recently completed 12-minute video short on why the territorial capital
was moved from Lewiston to Boise premieres statewide on the Plus
Channel, Monday, February 24, at 9:00/8:00 p.m. MT/PT.
It is immediately followed by the 42-minute CAPITOL OF LIGHT
program, which details the construction and recent remodel of Idaho’s
iconic state Capitol. Together, these two videos shed light on a littleunderstood aspect of the state’s history.
FROM CAPITAL TO CAPITOL explores the interplay between
Idaho Territory and the eventual creation of the state of Idaho.
“The transfer of power from Lewiston to Boise can still raise
hackles about ‘the stealing of the capital,’” explains producer Bruce
Reichert. “This is a period of history that is crucial to understanding
Idaho’s destiny.”
The impetus for the 12-minute video segment was the
construction in Lewiston of a replica of Idaho’s first territorial
Capitol, which housed the first and second territorial legislative
sessions. The small building, constructed by volunteer labor, was
dedicated in Lewiston in July of 2013.
Historians Keith Petersen and Carole Simon-Smolinski help
shed light on the conflict that erupted when Boise replaced
Lewiston as Idaho’s seat of government, and how decisions
made 150 years ago still impact the present. Funding for this
program was provided by Idaho’s Capitol Commission.
Vintage Shows Air on World Channel
The OUTDOOR IDAHO
vault opens beginning Saturday, February 1, at 11:00/10:00 a.m. MT/PT and 6:00/5:00
p.m. MT/PT on the World Channel (Subchannel 4). Each week
features a different episode from earlier seasons that will air daily
at different times. See the online schedule for exact times. Go to
idahoptv.org and click on “schedule.”
“These vintage shows ‘from the vault’ offer a view of Idaho you
can’t find anywhere else,” says Bruce Reichert, executive producer.
“Some haven’t aired for more than 20 years. We are dusting them
off, figuratively, for a whole new audience of Idahoans.”
The shows will be closed captioned for the hearing impaired and
available online (video.idahoptv.org).
“These shows may not be HD, but they are a treasure trove of
information and fascinating people,” adds Reichert. “These are some
of my personal favorites, and I’m delighted we are making the effort
to give them another chance, this time in the digital world.”
The opening show from the vault is Yellowstone in Winter
(February 1-7), which includes interviews with scientists and
conservationists about the first national park
that has become a
testing ground for
new ideas.
The other episodes
airing this month are:
Winter Survival
(February 8-14),
You Can’t Get There
From Here (February
15-21), and The CCC

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address,
Ken Burns and PBS are challenging everyone across the country,
especially students, to create a video of himself or herself reading or
reciting President Abraham Lincoln’s famous speech. Join the project by
sharing your Gettysburg Address at learntheaddress.org.
This campaign continues through the end of the school year and has
been inspired by the subject of Burns’ film THE ADDRESS. The film
tells the story of the Greenwood School in Putney, Vermont, and a group
if its students — boys ages 11 to 17, all of whom face a range of learning
differences. Each year the boys are encouraged to memorize, practice
and recite the Gettysburg Address. The film airs April 15 on Idaho Public
Television.

This month, television’s most-watched history series presents
three new episodes that train the spotlight on former members
of the Amish community, one of America’s most notorious duos,
and one of our nation’s greatest architectural achievements.
Filmed over the course of 12 months, The Amish Shunned
(February 4) follows seven former members of an Amish
community as they reflect on their decisions to leave one of the
most closed and tightly knit communities in the United States.
Estranged from family, the ex-Amish find themselves struggling
to understand and make their way in modern America.
The latest installment of AMERICAN EXPERIENCE’s
popular Wild West series, Butch Cassidy & The Sundance
Kid (February 11) explores the last well-known pair of outlaws
to flee on horseback. Long before Paul Newman and Robert
Redford immortalized them on screen, the duo captivated
America with their bank- and train-robbing exploits. But who
were Butch and Sundance? How did they come together to form
the Wild Bunch Gang?
Opened to the public in 1910, New York’s Pennsylvania
Station was a massive civil engineering project, covering
nearly 8 acres and requiring the construction of 16 miles of
underground tunnels. The Rise and Fall of Penn Station
(February 18) examines the reasons why this architectural
marvel, supposedly built for the ages, would be torn down a few
decades later.
Encore performances Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. MT/PT are Billy
the Kid (February 11), Grand Coulee Dam (February 18), and
Triangle Fire (February 25).

Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth
Airs Friday, February 7, at 9:00 p.m. MT/PT
This film traces the story of writer/activist
Alice Walker, best known for her novel The
Color Purple, who celebrates her 70th birthday
this month. The scenes move from her birth in
a paper-thin shack in cotton fields of Putnam
County, Georgia, to her recognition as a key
writer of the 20th century.
She came of age amid the violent racism
and seismic social changes of mid-20thcentury America. Her mother, poverty, and
participation in the civil rights movement were
formative influences on her consciousness. The
first African-American to win a Pulitzer Prize
for Literature, Walker continues to shine a light
on global human rights issues.
18
“I have a certain spirit, as we all do if we
don’t suppress it, and I didn’t suppress mine.
And I have tried very hard to honor it,” Walker
says. “That spirit was the spirit of creativity.
It was the spirit of standing with people who
were in danger. It is the spirit of absolute
commitment to people I love.”
Filmmakers Pratibha Parmar and Shaheen
Haq produced the film to shine a light on
Walker’s story and her impact on the world.
“Alice’s story and Alice’s writings
and everything (she has done) as a public
intellectual and as a writer has shaped so many
public discourses,” says Parmar. “Not just
within America, but internationally.”
Meanwhile Adela wanders through the Musee
d’Orsay, chats with British designer Vivienne
Westwood at the couture shows, and tours the

PBS’ preeminent science show travels to Italy
this month to examine two sources of ancient
mystery: Rome’s catacombs and Florence’s great
cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.
Beneath the streets of Rome lie the catacombs
— a labyrinth of tunnels, hundreds of miles
long — a cemetery for the citizens of ancient
times. In 2002, maintenance workers stumbled
through an opening in one of the tunnel walls
and discovered a previously unknown complex
of six small rooms, each stacked floor to ceiling
with skeletons. Roman Catacomb Mystery
(February 5) examines this discovery, which
was locked away for nearly 2,000 years. Who
were these people? And most important, what
killed them?
The dome that crowns the Santa Maria del
Fiore — the Duomo — is a masterpiece of
Renaissance ingenuity and an enduring source
of mystery. Still the largest masonry dome on
earth, it is taller than the Statue of Liberty and
weighs as much as an average cruise ship. Great
Cathedral Mystery (February 12) delves into
how its architect, Filippo Brunelleschi, kept the
dome perfectly aligned and symmetrical as the
sides rose and converged toward the center.

February Offers Two Different British Mysteries
An adult story of romance and

Secret Garden and a gritty view of crime
during the London Blitz are special
additions to this month’s schedule. The
Sunday night schedule offers these two
viewer treats after the third season of
Sherlock ends on MASTERPIECE
MYSTERY!
MAKING OF A LADY, February
9, at 10:00 p.m. MT/PT, is drawn
from two novels by Frances Hodgeson
Burnett (The Making of a Marchioness
and its sequel, The Methods of Lady
Walderhurst). Initially, it is a Victorian
fairytale with Emily Fox Seton (Lydia
Wilson) as an impecunious companion
to Lady Maria Bayne (Joanna Lumley). Emily catches the eye of widower
Lord Walderhurst (Linus Roache)
and becomes the lady of his country
mansion. When Lord Walderhurst leaves
to rejoin his regiment in India, Emily
spends more time with other members of
his family and things turn darker.
“What I particularly like about the
story is the way it gradually shape-
shifts,” says director Richard Carson
Smith. “It’s not like a Wilkie Collins
gothic horror, or a romance. The strange
smashing together of these two worlds is
what creates the tension, the dread.”
MURDER ON THE HOME
FRONT, February 16, at 10:15 p.m.
MT/PT, is based on the memoirs
of Molly Lefebure (Evidence for
the Crime). During World War II,
Lefebure was secretary to the Home
Office pathologist Keith Simpson. (In
Britain, the Home Office is a ministerial
department and takes the lead on
immigration and passports, drug policy,
crime policy and counter-terrorism.)
Patrick Kennedy stars as novice
pathologist Dr. Lennox Collins. Tamzin
Merchant is plucky journalist-turnedassistant Molly Cooper. Collins and
Cooper are on the trail of a serial killer,
whose female victims have been found
strangled and their tongues mutilated.
Together they try to chase down the

The anthology series features
two new documentaries this month,
including a film that tells the inside
story of the secret state-funded
agency that spied on American
citizens to maintain segregation.
Spies of Mississippi (February 10)
tells of the Mississippi Sovereignty
Commission, created by the state in
the 1950s to spy on its own citizens
and maintain segregation. Overseen
by the governor and a handpicked
board of 12 powerful men in the
state, the commission is granted
broad powers to investigate people
and organizations, keep secret files,
make arrests, and compel testimony.
To accomplish its goals, the
commission uses investigators and
informants — including African
Americans — to infiltrate civil rights
groups as white citizens demand
that action be taken to “preserve
the Mississippi way of life.”
Over time it evolves from
a propaganda machine
idahoptv.org
to become the hidden hand of the
state’s power structure, coordinating
state police, county sheriffs, state
courts, and private citizens groups to
protect white supremacy at any cost.
In the lingering aftermath of the
U.S.-Mexico War — a tense time that
sees an influx of Anglo migrants pour
into the new American state of Texas
— the border town of Laredo creates
a unique annual debutante ball.
The film Las Marthas (February
17) follows a Mexican-American girl
who traces her lineage to Spanish
Colonial times, and a girl from Nuevo
Lareda, Mexico, just across the
border. The girls prepare to continue
this gilded tradition, which requires
they wear elaborately designed
American Colonial-style gowns, and
honors American Revolutionary
heroes and their wives. The historic
tensions of the times when the ball
began resonate anew in today’s
period of economic uncertainty and
political tension over immigration.

Can Eating Insects
Save the World?
Deep fried locusts, ant egg salad, and
barbequed tarantulas are all part of the
fare as British food writer Stefan Gates
visits Southeast Asia and immerses
himself in the extraordinary world
of hardcore insect-eating in a bid to
conquer his lingering revulsion of bugs
and discover if they really could save the

In this BBC documentary, Gates is on

edible insects for a living. But nothing
quite prepares him for bug farming
on this terrifying scale, from stalking
grasshoppers at night to catching fiercely
biting ants. And it’s not just insects on

Community Cinema Presents
‘Trials of
Muhammad Ali’
Community Cinema continues in Idaho this month
with a screening of the film The Trials of Muhammad
Ali at three sites.
The first public screening will be Wednesday,
February 12, at 7:00 p.m. in Boise at Studio A of Idaho
Public Television, 1455 N. Orchard; the second will be
Tuesday, February 18, at 5:30 p.m. in Pocatello at the
Bengal Theater in the Pond Student Union at Idaho
State University, 1065 S. Cesar Chavez Ave; and the third
Wednesday, February 26, at 7:00 p.m. in the Twin Falls
Center for the Arts, 195 River Vista Place. Admission is
free. The screenings are followed by open discussion
with community leaders as moderators.
The Trials of Muhammad Ali covers the explosive
crossroads of Ali’s life. When Cassius Clay becomes
Muhammad Ali, his conversion to Islam and refusal to
serve in the Vietnam War leave him banned from boxing
and facing a five-year prison sentence. Ali’s choice of
belief and conscience over fame and fortune resonates
far beyond the boxing ring, striking issues of race, faith
and identity that continue to confront us all today.
Community Cinema is a national civic engagement
initiative featuring free screenings and curricula
for films from the Emmy Award-winning PBS series
INDEPENDENT LENS. In 100 cities and online,
community members come together to learn, discuss,
and get involved in key social issues of our time.
