ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Saturdays from 23 April from 21.00

Abraham Lincoln tells the true story of America’s iconic 16th president. Across three two-hour episodes, the mini-series immerses viewers into the world and story of Abe before Lincoln. A young man looking to make his mark, he grows into the man who lead the young United States through its greatest crisis. By weaving together both scripted dramatisations of important moments in his life and commentary by authoritative historians and public figures, including former President Barack Obama, the series is a portrait of Lincoln determined to change the world. The series chronicles the evolution of Abraham Lincoln as a man and as a thinker against the backdrop of a nation increasingly torn over the issue of slavery. As the war rages on, the series shows how, in part due to the efforts and influence of abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass, he comes to value the importance of seizing the moment at hand to end slavery in America, once and for all.

COUNTING CARS
Saturdays from 16 April from 10.40

Danny “The Count” Koker is a Las Vegas legend who acquires, restores and customises classic cars and motorcycles and then “flips” them for a profit. Well known from his frequent appearances on Pawn Stars, Danny walks, talks and breathes American muscle cars and motorcycles, from vintage Thunderbirds and classic Corvettes to souped-up Harleys and tricked-out trikes. When he sees a ride he wants whether it’s on display at an auto auction or parked at a roadside diner he will stop at nothing to acquire it. With the help of his talented team, Danny must restore, modify, customise and sell these highway gems in a hurry to stay in the black. Every episode of Counting Cars is bursting at the seams with amazing stories about historic vehicles, jaw-dropping before-and-after transformations and wheeling and dealing at its absolute best.
